The front right and back left are probably gonna be removed anyways for some other plants in the next week. Just curious and experimenting more.

Reducing the light seems to have made it happy though.

    I love to see people using grow tents for other stuff then weed. I thought about buying one for chilis, but it always felt strange.

      Haha, I have a veg tent and a flower tent for my cannabis, so I experiment with veggies and use it to get my garden starts going as well. Hiding back left is actually a humidity dome with some cannabis starts actually.

      I had a very “succesful” attempt with peppers already though.

      Ii start my flowers in the grow tent at the end of winter so I can put them all out at spring

      This year u started tomatoes and sunflowers, black eyed Susan’s, some fish pepper plants, cloned a 10 year old rosemary bonsai my cat chewed up.

      I bought it for growing cannabis originally, and I grew some fire, but I like growing stuff generally and cannabis is just one plant.

      There are generations of gardeners who got their start with little cannabis plant in their closet.

      Once my flowers go out I have some Durban Poison seeds going in :)

        How do you do flowers? Just potted or do you do something with the bulbs… I’m quite interested.

        Thats what I wanted to start, a sunflower, all the neighbors were doing some last year.

        Cannabis is such a looooong cycle with only periodic work, so much time to do other stuff.

        Oh man, I’m week 7 on some Durban poison and just germed the other 2 seeds a week ago. I’m excited.

          I start seeds in peat pots, I don’t do bulbs.

          I started 14 sunflowers, 5 tomatoes, 5 fish peppers, and about 24 pots of black eyed Susans this year.

          The black eyed susan I transplant as soon as they grow true first leaves, once were only facing a frost or two, and don’t bother thinning them.

        Hmm. I think the birds got to my flower seed. Now why didn’t I think of just starting them inside?

      As an aside, people use them for 3d printing enclosures too now as well. I think it’s a fantastic idea, especially for resin printing.

        I thought about that as well. Currently I just use FDM machines, but I thought about getting a resin printer. Hooking it up to a filter would be very effective.

    This is a great idea! Do you have any tips for someone who might get into this? I liked vegetable gardening but don’t have much outdoor space.

      Don’t just grow a certain way since you heard it was better, there’s some techniques that some people just aren’t good with. And on that same note every grow can have something gained from it, even the failures, but sometimes things are just out of your control.
