I don't know for sure...I read a few diff places that to root plants need little light not tons.....
It worked for me for about a year like that...and as soon as rooted I moved below anyways.....

i always water on the ground and put the tray back up there. I never thought about the reflection being enough light. So you think the extra light is a waste?

i may just add a shelf then. thanks, thats why I love this site.

zipper question. i want to build this the right way. i see a bunch of tarp zippers to make a door with. all i see are 6.5 feet or 7 feet long, i need one that is 5 feet.any ideas?
maybe i could cut it at the end spot and put a stop someplace so i dont go beyond the cut?

not got the film in yet, it will be here in 2 days. been thinking on that one

Velcro tape??

On a messed up tent I had. We had similar issue. Crazy glue or Jb weld works great to keep the end closed n prevents the zipper to go behond.

Very good question cubby

Ordered the zipper, get that in 2 days. Still thinking on how to attach panda to pvc frame.many options. Looking for best one. Thinking that Scott tough tape made for poly.

You looking to take this apart like a tent or build it n leave it till D day. ???
LH.

This one will not have to be moved. I have enough to build 2 tents. The second one will have to be able to be took down

Let's cut some poly!!
Got some done. Will finish the rest tomm

Looks like your finally at work and play.
Looking good so far.
Lower yer light or raise yer ladies. ( I have a feeling u raised light for the pic ).
LH.

i find it easier to bring the ladies to the light, then lower the light. especially when you are growing different strains. some can be bigger then the others.

i elected to not cut the zipper. left the backing on the top, just letting it lay on top of the tent. and i attached the panda film to the pvc with 3m tough duct tape for poly. im going to start another build on another tent for my smaller t5 fixture, i will do a DIY thread on that one. they a super easy to build and cheap. some new members my find it useful info

Have you came up with a method to hang the lights from the top middle vs top putter top rails. ???
I'd put a T n brace that wall n just lay a 2x2-2x3" on the otter top n screw eye hooks into it.
Uve done a great job man. Thumbs up.
