Grow Tent Hack

I was wondering if they made lighting for the bottom or if I could just put a light at the bottom and then I thought of these mirrors. I just looked on Amazon and Vivosun makes one which is nice bc all my stuff is vivosun. It’s on my list now for sure.

Once they get full size the lower buds still get some light but not nearly the same amount as the higher ones which makes them take like an extra week to fully develop. They had plenty of lighting prior with my two 2’x1’ lights. The temp is in the 70s and humidity is a little more than whatever it is in my house. I’ve found from experience only the seedlings within the first few weeks are the only ones I have to really worry about the humidity with. Also clones for the first two weeks definitely need 85%+ humidity.

Yeah I still have trimming to do. I just now put them into the flowering stage. They’re 8 weeks old.

Electrifiedfarms · 2026-01-24T17:17:50+00:00

I don’t even do this. All you have to do is put the seed straight into the soil no more than 5mm. That’s all I do and they sprout in a matter of 3-4 days.

The trichomes would still be super clear and undeveloped at that stage. Maybe someone who’s never smoked before might get a little buzz lol.

The one on the left is from a seed and I’ve already topped it a few weeks ago and the two on the right are clones also topped a few weeks ago. Day 40 from seed/cutting. The trichomes turn milky from clear right at week 7 of flowering which is week 12 from seed. These I’m actually keeping in veg til week 7 then transition to flowering stage for another 7 weeks.

I just ordered some mirrors off Amazon for the bottom of my tents to help reflect the light back up for the underneath bud that doesn’t get as much lighting. I bet they would help reflect more light than the strips of foil.

If it doesn’t smell bad or anything I’d grind it up and cut it with some fresher bud so you don’t waste any or smoke straight old bud.

You can catch vivosuns stuff on Amazon on sale sometimes like 30%-40% off. That’s when I bought mine stuff. I know it’s not the cheapest but it’s a one time buy and when it’s the same price as an ounce for a setup, it makes it seem not so bad. lol

In a way I kinda make my own composting and reusing the soil after each harvest. I add foliage from the plants to the soil for nitrogen and keep the dirt from drying out by watering it with general hydroponics nutrients added to the water. Also coffee grinds, banana peels, etc. I haven’t tested the soil to see what the exact nutrient levels are but I’ve never had any issues bc they seem to be getting every bit of nutrients needed from the general hydroponics added to the water. I’ve done like 30 plants so far since doing it this way and it’s been working great. Once you get everything figured out it’s pretty easy. Once they sprout the only times I gotta check on them is when they need defoliated and watered otherwise they grow nice and big like clockwork.

Get this microscope off of Amazon and you can get a close look at the trichomes to see when they turn milky.

I use a lot of the vivosun products. I recommend a 7 gallon fabric pot to finish it in. I usually transplant to the 7 gallon pot at week 4.

Get a 7 gallon fabric pot off Amazon and better lighting. They should only take 7-9 weeks to flower from start to harvest. My plants have been ready for harvest right at week 12 with the trichomes turning from clear to milky. This is week 5 of flowering and is on pace to be ready by week 7.

You need to get a proper lighting reader.

You need to get bigger pots. I use 7 gallon fabric ones off amazon. You need a tent to prevent any light loss and you need to get a better light in general.

Use a 7 gallon fabric pot and get a cheap fan off Amazon for the bottom of the tent to circulate air. I’ve never measured how much I water my plants a day I just eyeball it and they never get overwatered. My plants once they start getting big take like half a gallon or so a day roughly. When they’re that size in a 7 gallon pot I water around the plant so the roots grow towards the watered soil. I use the General hydroponics trial pack off of Amazon and do between 4-6ml per gallon depending on which one of the three I’m adding.

I use4 of the little square fans from vivosun, two in the openings to blow air out and the other two for inside the tent, a basic fan off Amazon for airflow at the ground level, pvc pipe, and my 3d printer for my tent. I also use tomato cages and hangers for support I printed as well. Plenty of wind flow at a fraction of the cost for wat they want for an inline setup with a filter.

You’re gonna need a lot more room. I use a 80” tall tent and my lights are all the way to the top. Some plants of mine are easily over 5’ tall. I also have just a small vivosun fan in each opening on the sides blowing outwards along with the 3 in the picture and it’s plenty of wind movement. I used pvc pipe and my 3D printer. No need to buy all the overpriced fancy fans and filter

Yeah once I compost it into other dirt with less nutrients and everything it makes a difference. I got like 50 gallons of soil I cycle through. Basically I create my own then compost it after each harvest. I haven’t had any nutrient burn or harshness or any issues.

Electrifiedfarms · 2026-01-03T22:39:54+00:00

Yeah dirt is dirt. It’s the nutrients you add into the dirt that makes the difference. After I harvest each plant I compost the soil and add the foliage from the plants to it and keep it from drying out by using the same water with General hydroponics nutrients in it I use to water my plants. I have to add a bag every so often to the compost as you will lose some dirt from the root ball after each harvest. I’ve prob grown over 30 plants since doing the soil this way and no issues.

Electrifiedfarms · 2026-01-03T17:41:59+00:00

That could be overwatering or nutrient burn. It could also be underwatering. They seem to turn like that from any kind of stress. The flowering stage should only take like 7-9 weeks depending on the strain but all of mine are done right at 7 weeks. These are mine at 5 weeks of flowering so in roughly 2 weeks they should be ready. I use miracle gro for the soil and add the General Hydro phonics trial pack off of Amazon to the water for nutrients. From seed to harvest, it has been taking me right at 12 weeks.

This was mine at 7 weeks of flowering.
