The Doc builds a clone/mother tent
    #138295 - 10/29/08 11:25 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Welcome,
Due to my limited space I decided to build a fully collapsible, tent for mothers and clones. So without further ado;

Tent Construction:
Part List:

(**All pvc sizes are 1/2" unless otherwise stated**)
8- 90o turns with threaded side out
8- Threaded-push adapters
2- T connectors


4- 2' lengths
4- 1.5' lengths


4- 9" lengths
3- 24" lengths (Not pictured)


20sqft- Black and white Poly film


1- Hacksaw
2- Velcro strips
1- Roll of black duct tape




Build it!:

1) Connect all threaded adaptors to the 90o elbows.



2) Connect the bottom and top frame by connecting the 90o angle joints to alternating 1.5' and 2' pvc lengths.


3) Build the rear pillars and supports by attaching 2x9" lengths to the T fitting.


4) Affix a 24" length between the two T fittings, creating an "H". Connect the "H" to the rear 90o connectors on the wide side. Now affix the remaining two 24" sections to the front of the bottom frame. Cap the structure with the mirror image of the bottom frame.


5) Wrap the skeletons sides with a 28"X64" piece of Black and White polly.


6) Wrap a second piece 25"x90" from the bottom-->back-->top-->front. Leave the front piece unattached like a flap. Attach Velcro strips to the bottom corners of the flaps. (I forgot to take pictures of this step. Check the completed structure for details.)

7) Cut an appropriately sized hole in the side of the tent for ventilation. I used a 80mm muffin fan, but you can use any small fan really.






Finished:

The finished product allows me to keep a couple small mother plants around without requiring any space in my cabinet. Best of all, if it's not in use, I can break it down to store it. This style tent can be proportioned in any way you like to hold as few or as many plants as required, just a bit of math.
Let me know what you think, questions and critiques always welcome.  :stoner:

Ya know, I haven't posted it up there yet, I should look into it. As far as whats in it now, a pot of gold mother and two potential doublegum mothers. I'm growing out some test stock right now, whichever I like best I'll keep, the rest get composted.

Cost wise, about 25$. The most expensive parts are the pvc connectors.

Ahahaha. As a matter of fact, I think the test run for the POG will be finished on, or a couple days after Xmas, so it will defintly be Christmas chronic. I resurrected this POG mother from a disaster with miracle grow organic potting mix. I can't wait to try it out, it is a very hardy plant, quite the survivor, a bit stretchy though. She seems to be flowering quickly so I will evaluate the final yields and determine weather or not she's a keeper.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't answered these questions sooner.

skeeter420: I would make it a bit taller and more square if I was going to try to finish a plant in it but it is the perfect little box for a one plant grow. I attached the lights by running zip-ties around the pvc at the top corners and affixed the light chain to the zip-ties.
I would stick with a small number of flouros in a tent like this only because of heat issues, if you add more light you will need a bigger fan. I use a small 80mm computer fan for exhaust which will not be able to deal with smell which is something you should consider if you're going to finish a grow in it but for my mothers, it is perfect.
