Skunnymonster's Multi-Strain Perpetual LED Grow

[skunnymonster]

Haha, I did a good job of painting a picture then
Almost done now mate & what a fooking nightmare it has been. I'm struggling with the zip at the top coz it keeps snagging but everything else is done bar fitting the floor tray.
In a big room it would be a piece of cake but in an area that's 1ft bigger & 30 degrees & no airflow, it's not ideal.
Just chilling now for 10mins before I have another go at the zip & put all my gear in the tiny space I've got left.

Good luck mate i am sure it will look awesome when it is done.

I think skunny may have locked him self in trying to do the zip from the inside.

The tent is up & all zipped together, the top was a nightmare due to the sewing machinist smoking too much weed. The stitching was a bit wonky so the inner flap had to be pulled through the zip, a good tug with some pliers did the job

Here's phase 1

At this point I was fooked & relieved, just look at the sweat

To give you an idea of how little space I had to play with here's some pics

Here it is in all it's glory

My next job is to rig up my fans, filter lighting etc & sort out some shelves to put all my bits & bobs. I might see if I can squeeze a table in there to mix my nutes on but that's for another day as I'm worn out.

 

[budstep]

That's a huge ass tent.

 

[skunnymonster]

Now it's up I love it & can't wait to get some girls flowering in there but I hated every second of erecting it. I must admit having all that room to play with is making me giddy

 

[wildwelshman]

Yeah you found your way out skunny. Nice tent mate looks good.

 

[skunnymonster]

Haha, no fire brigade was required & I'm glad it's finally up

Good job !! It's a b#tch to do !! My ex husband helped me or I couldn't have done it ,well he did it and I helped him.. I am really worried about something.......I have one tent in an extra bedroom I store things in. Now I am getting another tent to sit right beside it and they are gonna be on different times, one in veg 18/6.and one in flower 12/12. My ex thinks I make too much of a big deal about total darkness...light coming through zipper,etc. Skunny is your new tent in a place that you don't have to worry about it ???

 

[buysser]

looking great, I can't wait to see the fruits of your labor

 

[skunnymonster]

Hi Granny, my tent is up against a window & I couldn't see any light leaking in but I did have one of the doors open. Before I get it up & running I'll zip myself inside to check it. I very much doubt any light will get in as the zips, flaps & material seem good quality.

You are right to worry as it doesn't take much light to mess things up. If you do what I'll be dong & get yourself zipped inside, you will see any light leakage & can tape over the source.

Maybe a couple of old bed sheets would do the trick? Just an idea.

Thats a better way than i was thinking. Maybe if your thinking of making a partition in the room some curtain wire and an spare pair of curtains would work maybe?

That's what I want to do, just have to figure a way to do it without putting a bunch of nails going across the ceiling.
Thanks again !

Just use a curtain wire and curtain hooks like you would for nets on the window and all you get then is a few little holes. I would screw them into the ceiling rather than trying to put them into the wall.

I placed a piece of plywood on top of my cabinet and put hooks in the edge. Hung a decorative shower curtain from the hooks. Just thought I'd toss that out there for folks concerned with light leaks / stealth.

I've done a little work in my garden so I thought I'd keep you guys & girls in the loop
The flux has had a major defol & train ready for going vertical. Some of the arms which I soft topped in a moment of madness have been reduced back down to a single head, this moment of madness has probably set me back a bit but such is life. Here's what she looks like after her trim & train.

Both Tangerines have had the top fan leafs removed & I fimed the top of the biggest

Here's Toxic's twin top

And to finish, here's some group shots

Keep it green
