Thanks for the feedback and all the pictures @Live Canna . Nice that it works for your parameters. Just noticed that Mars Hydro now also has 3 different sized multi-chamber tents. https://aeradix.co.za/product/mars-multi-chamber-grow-tent-90x60x140/ https://aeradix.co.za/product/mars-multi-chamber-grow-tent-120x90x180/ https://aeradix.co.za/product/mars-multi-chamber-grow-tent-150x120x200/ Pricing in an around the Secret Jardin Lodge tents. (Was thinking it would be more competitive) Yours was a lot cheaper - half price - than the equivalent name brands @Live Canna . Are you satisfied with the overall build quality and materials used ? Would you say the zips and poles are robust and the fabric strong ? Thanks. -Stinky

Hi @Live Canna and thanks for replying! Waiting to see the picture, but from what I understand, you are using the top right veg chamber for seedlings/clones and you use the bottom right veg chamber for your equipment ? Is the divider fully removable (allowing use of the whole 120x90 space) ? Can one isolate the bottom right veg chamber instead of the top right veg chamber ? Sounds like you will be raising seedlings/clones in the right veg chamber and then flowering them after minimal veg time for a sea of green (SOG) style grow ? If this is the case, what size of container will you be flowering in ? Will you be introducing new seedlings/clones into flower periodically for perpetual grow ? Will you be keeping mother plants ? Can you give us any other details of your proposed setup for this tent ? (hydro/soiless/soil, lights, nutes etc.) Thanks. -Stinky

@Bakstein420 I hear you bru. Hats off to the way you have optimized that space and your resources under your constraints. I am just now looking over some of your grows and learning more about your setup, but the results are great! You are getting some real bang for the buck here. Is this a current/recent grow in the pic ? I noticed the smaller plant. Do you full veg/flower runs ? What's the cabinet/flowering height? Maybe much overlooked factor. Maybe I need to add that to my original questions. What strains have you found the most success with and what are you running in the picture ? Super neat mainlining! Must practice this one day. How many weeks did it take to build and veg ?

For sure! I am eager to understand how users are combining fans/AC etc to maintain proper environment when the temps and RH are at these kinda numbers. What light/ventilation combos and other strategies being in small grow spaces.....

Okay. Got you. You found the choice of sizes and chamber split too limiting for your purposes. I think also the orientation of the chambers could be limiting ie. maybe more helpful to have veg chambers on the left instead of right for some users. Nor mine. Just used that link for illustrative purposes. I have only seen Secret Jardin 2-in-1 tents locally. No other trusted name brands - although I understand you are advising two separate tents.

Hello 420SA! Any members out there with experience of these : https://hydroponic.co.za/hydroponics/because-nature-mycelium-co2-generator/ ? Any benefit or harm (to plants or you ) ? Pros/cons. -Stinky

Thanks for the reply @PsyCLown . If I understand you correctly the main issue for you was the partitioning has been insufficient to fully support a perpetual ? Could I ask what tent brand and size you used ?

Hello 420SA! I am in Durban, and I have been stewing in the heat and humidity of the past few days and wondering how members are maintaining their indoor grow environments under these weather conditions. In particular, I am interested in indoor spaces of one square meter or less including tents, cupboards, wardrobes or DIY spaces. Could you please share: What are your temperature ranges ? What are your humidity ranges ? What kind of space and size ? Tent/cupboard/DIY What kind of lighting and power? CFL/HID/LED Veg schedule ? 24/0, 18/6, 12/1 or other Flowering lighting schedule ? 12/12, 11/13 or other Flowering in day or night ? What ventilation/cooling and power ? Fans/ACs in tent or room/other/none Humidity control ? Dedicated dehumidifier/other/none Maintenance of reservoir temperatures (if applicable) ? Chiller/ice water/ice blocks/other/none Anything I missed/additional comments or queries ? Hoping to hear from a lot of Durban/KZN folk, but welcoming contributions from any members with experience of growing under high heat and humidity conditions, even if briefly every year. How do you cope ? Peace!

Hello 420SA! I am wondering how many community members have actual experience (past or present) with 2-in-1 tents like these : https://vivosun.com/products/vivosun-2-in-1-48-x36-x72-mylar-reflective-grow-tent-for-indoor-hydroponic-growing-system I am aware that Secret Jardin have two different sized "Lodge" series tents which are available locally. So if you use, have used or have considered using one of these types of tent : Why do use, not use or no longer use a 2-in-1 ? (major pros/cons in your setup) And if you currently do use one : Local or international supplier ? Price ? Quality ? Any comments ? Thank you.

Good to have you aboard @Breadinator !

Pics or it is untrue. Just kidding. Welcome @Soutie . How are you set up for cooling and ventilation ?

Great to have you aboard @189_Vitaman D ! Looking forward to hearing some of your experiences.

Hey @Batista ! Welcome to 420SA.

Hello and welcome Pandy! What strains are you running ? -Stinky

Hello and Welcome @Will_YourSeedling I like your greenhouse! Queries: Do you have plans/materials requirements you could share ? I see you have fans and some lighting too ? Could you elaborate on lights/ventilation ? Are you able to grow all year round ? How many harvests ? Thanks! -Stinky

Welcome @CaNaWidow

Hello. I was checking up on that DP DP This is from : https://www.dutch-passion.com/en/cannabis-seeds/product/durban-poison/ So I am not too sure about the authenticity here. I think that Durban Poison is a 100% sativa ? Confirmations 420SA'ers ? Regarding other seed choices, I believe that Holy Smoke Seeds strains have been bred with SA conditions in mind ? -Stinky

L.O Mellow Good to have you aboard. Any idea what strain that bagseed might be ?

Hello Klutch. Good luck with your grow.

At the moment everything is good

Good chance the seeds will produce hermies as well... Although bagseed is known to produce hermies, I would keep going with bagseed until you get purchase seeds or get some clones. What do the 420SA growers think ?

Howzit Richard. Welcome. Wow. I am seriously impressed at the lengths you went to go to for some peace. Cannabis inspired you to buy a boat (almost). Breaking those"amotivational syndrome" myths -Stinky

Tough luck @Catsilver . Onward to the next grow now ?

Hey @Chrislovesdagga , I wont offer a definition of "cannabis culture" here. But I will say this : In the (recent) past, participation in SA "Cannabis culture" involved living a part of your life on the periphery of society and likewise enduring, at best the disapproval of the mainstreamers, and at worst, incarceration. Now with our recent developments, we can hopefully look forward to a future "Cannabis culture" that is more integrated with and tolerated by mainstream society, and free of traditional myths, biases and stigma sometimes incorrectly associated with this plant and its variety of users. -Stinky

All good here @Mellow ! Welcome to 420SA. Waiting for more pics
