Hello all. I am sitting in bed winding down from a very busy day in the garage. I started a task I was looking forward to. Setting up the 5'x5' tent. This time I wanted to rework all the electrical, fan, filter configurations. It's all going to be moved outside the tent besides the filter. Plus put down a barrier between the concrete floor and the tent bottom. Last time it was tent on concrete. Fortunately I remembered to take pictures of the process so that I can share with you all my journey.
First step:
Hit the bong, then make a plan for the first couple steps. Cleaning the concrete floor, moving the T12 hanging above, laying down the three quarter inch plywood, and installing the carpet tiles I got from dumpster.
Now assembling the frame and working the material over the frame.
One extra step I do is binding all the ceiling support bars together with rope for extra strength.
In the next picture on the left is the six inch fan I packed and wrapped in a box to make it quieter which I used to hang inside the tent. Which is now too big to fit where I wanted to move it. On the right is box that would fit in the new location outside the tent. Turns out being a little too small. Luckily I found the perfect size box to replace it.
Inside the old box.
Once I dismantled the old fan box setup, I started mocking up the new box that would accomplish my idea of moving it outside the tent. To do that I needed a ninety degree bend between the fan and my four inch filter.
I used 'L' shaped cardboard box supports and mounted one on each side to support the six inch to four inch metal reducer that would also carry the weight of the carbon filter as well.
Cut the holes in the box for the inlets and outlets of the fan and install the flex hose between the fan and reducer.
Added an extra layer double celled cardboard on the inside and tucked in a blanket around everything and closed it tight with tape.
Next two pictures shows where I installed on the outside of the tent and what it looks like inside.
You can see above where I added white boards between the side posts. Originally I put them there the help keep the tent walls from sucking in too far when I ran a negative pressure air/unsealed room setup. This year I am doing a closed/sealed room configuration and put the boards in for weight supports.
Next was electrical install. Using two boards, I drilled two holes in each board where I could attach them together with zip ties. One board sits on top the tent and the other hangs down the side/back of the tent. First picture is an example while sitting on the tabletop.
Second is on the tent and I added the fan speed controller to the board.
Tomorrow is finishing the electrical, installing the lights, and moving in the plants. That's it for now. See you tomorrow.
my grow will be more interesting soon when I see some plants above ground. They are on their way. I keep peeking. I know it's a risk but curiousity gets the best of me sometimes. I have always been a sponge on topics I have been interested in. 
It's picture time,
