doing some market research for indoor grow setups

Hi all my indoor farming friends :)

im trying to get a picture of how Canadian/US legal* indoor personal growers control their tent environment for all stages of the growing cycle

if you dont mind sharing, for all of you who use a tent to grow inside.. can you let me know:

  1. what size tent do you use, and what kind of light/wattage?
  2. of the following - AC(portable/window), humidifier, dehumidifier, intake/exhaust fans, CO2, controllers - which do you use?
  3. of the items you use in #2, what was the estimated cost, and how much kWh do you estimate they use?

any input would be appreciated

*if you grow weed in a place where its illegal, posting about it on reddit is really fucking stupid, just saying :)

dont listen to first guy. bad advice for anyone who likes freedoms

you need to do more research man.

its really hard to give someone the exact info THEY need to set up successfully, enviro fluctuates, cost fluctuates. (where do you wana put your tent. attic? upstairs bedroom? basement? garage?main floor?)

you will need possibly everything you mention in #2 depending how much control YOU want of the space.

for home use id suggest a dimmable led for light source.

choose the canopy space you want,size light accordingly. get a tent slightly bigger than your desired canopy space.

a lot of this going to depend on budget

if your passionate about cannabis, you will make your way to success

I don't know about that. The more people who grow and use cannabis the better off the whole cannabis situation is. Sometimes its best to take a bullet for the team.

yes absolutely, its totally worth getting a felony record for internet points.

Not for internet points. To get cannabis normalized so that everyone can partake if they choose without getting a felony. Kinda like what is currently happening.

I’m Canadian

Have a 4x4. Which is fine for our legally allowed 4 plants.

600 watts in my tent, and I produce great product.

C02 is pointless in a tent.

I use one of those infinity inline fans but the controller is a gimmick and I just keep it running on max speed the entire time.

Humidifier you’re going to want a “cool mist” one.

Debumid I don’t use or need for my set up so I can’t recommend. That doesn’t mean you won’t need one. All depends on your growing environment.

Idk the KW per hour I use but my bill jumped roughly $20 a month (Ontario hydro) and I run the lights 24 hours a day on. (Because I grow autos)

Only thing you’ll want to be cautious of is buying things from the states. Some devices might not be registers to be used in Canada and are missing the correct CSA or ETL tag. Home owner’s insurance can deny a claim if something happened.

um no?

I use one of those infinity inline fans but the controller is a gimmick

again no? being able to dial in a good fan speed is important

Humidifier you’re going to want a “cool mist” one.

LOL again.. NO

misting humidifiers deposit mineral scale on your plants and fans which can cause issues and ruin your equipment, unless you have an RO filter or buy distilled water for it.

Two 5x5s, 2 LED grow lights 600w and 720w, 2x exhaust fans 40w each, 4 x circulation fans @ 30w each, window AC 450 watts, 60 pint dehumidifier 680w.

Somewhere around 50 kwh per day.
