TrevorLahey's Low Budget Growing Part 4: "The Hunger Games"

Tent was another Vivosun, same brand as my 2x4, I was impressed with the quality:cost of my current one and when I saw this one for $55cad for a limited time deal I had to bite.

I got a 4x4 same brand and I like it way better than the 3 other mars hydro ones.
Built tougher, good zippers and no light leeks

Trevor are you in Canada? I tried to buy a vivosun tent just now from Amazon and it says it won’t ship to my address. The tent sells for CDN$ so I was wondering if they don’t ship to usa??

Day 9

Dark Sparks look to finally be picking up steam

@Jellypowered @toastyjakes okokok I’m taking out the double planted seed and putting it in it’s own pot. Not much of a root in there but hey we will see, if not I’ll start more lol. I want a few killer Dark Sparks this round!

Speaking of which, I found a mutant “crinkle”

So I yanked it and put the seedling above in its place

But I couldn’t bear to throw out the mutant just yet so I stuck it in a pot with another seedling I’m not sure about yet…

Yeah I think Vivosun stuff is pretty much everywhere but there are plenty of good options out there, I’m sure alot of this cheaper stuff comes out of the same factory with different brand names on it.

Some things to consider when shopping for a tent:

  • Does it have alot of bad reviews about light leaks? A few tiny pinholes can be expected but if people are complaining about really bad leaks then it’s probably not a good option.

  • Quality zippers and stitching

  • Metal frame and metal frame connectors

  • Good ventilation options

You can get all that stuff without paying top dollar. Not to say the higher end isnt worth it, those Gorilla brand tents with the extension kits are really cool too just really expensive lol

yeah I’m not going to pay for a gorilla tent.

I’m looking at the 36 x36x 72 for 90 versus 48 x 48 x 80 for 110. My ceiling is around 84. DO you often have to fit anything above the tent??

amazon.com has them for USA shipment just fine. just my screw up on following your link to amazon.ca

I have my exhaust fan duct coming out the top of mine but it could go out the side.

The top of my tent is where all my timers, drivers, meters and tools are lol

But no, theres sometimes a top vent sock for exhaust but theres usually side socks up top too.

Is it the camera or do I see a lot of yellow?

Neither, that strain usually starts off lime green, the 3500k light adds more yellow to the white balance, too.

We are over here now, by the way :slight_smile:
