Tent DR300w (300x150x200cm)
Grow Style – Sea of Green (not in its extreme form without any veg time, but slightly vegetated 10-14 days)
Tent Design
I’d like to share this grow setup, which I’ve worked on tuning to 100% in past few years. Big move was from custom drywall cabinets to tents. It is pretty comfy, everything is easily accessible and it allows air movement.
I’ve done some tests with light measuring and this tent’s reflexive material is the way. They advertise mylar with 95% reflexivity.
Exact type is DarkRoom DR300w from Secret Jardin with dimensions 300x150x200cm.
I like how ventilation is done and many openings through zips available to get access inside. Is it built from pretty sturdy material. All zips are robust and won’t break… I don’t recommend cheaper version (sold under name DarkStreet or other chinese copies) because it is built from thinner material and light leaks out.
I’m using passive intake through bottom inlet socks and for outtake only one top vertical extraction sock (it allows 250 mm sonoflex duct). I don’t use side wall sock outtakes as they are primarily used for cool tube lights (this is not needed as ventilation is way over-dimensioned – see Ventilation below).
Last but not least, they advertise bottom of tent as waterproof, which is good for double safety. I’ve build there wood construction to create grow table 50 cm high (practically above inlet socks). Table is covered by very rigid construction foil used for masons. This creates 100% waterproof table with drilled hole in the middle to serve as waste. Wasted water drains down to sweage reservoir (as I don’t re-use this water). Sewage reservoir is wide and shallow just to fit under the table. I try to set drip so there is not much wasted water but enough to have all plants watered. With my setup it takes about 3-4 minutes to irrigate everything in full flower.
