Tent will be here when I wake up and equally good news, according to fed ex tracking, my light will be here Tuesday. I'm really excited for tomorrow night(technically tonight but I work funny hours) I can't wait to put it together.
 
Hmm let's see, any thoughts I can give you on setting up your tent ok. I have questions and thoughts so bear (bare?.. which one do I use?!!?!?!) with me. Beer with me? SALUTE! :rofl: Ok, back on track....

What type of space is this tent going to be in? (pics possible?) Build the entire frame first, as the instructions will tell you. Then, get the frame onto the BOTTOM of the tents canvas. This will certainly take you a minute to sort out. I've done 4 tents now, and taken down and reset a couple of them even.. so I'm decent at it. Anyways, after you get the frame on the bottom.. oh wait.. something the instructions say is "make sure ALL zippers are unzipped!!!" Please make sure!! You need the wiggle room! Also, this is easier to do with another person helping you, but I've done it a few times on my own no problems. I'll even hunt down a video for you. Easier on 2x2 than on my 4.5x4.5's :aok: Anyways, after the frame is on the bottom you want to take the top of the canvas and try to "walk" as much over the top of the frame as possible. Basically, you'll go back and forth from the "back left" of the tent to the "back right" of the tent, slowly walking it toward the front of the frame (front door area). After you have the top aligned and set into all 4 corners of both the bottom and the top of the tent, all that's left is to zip her on up! :D Start with the top zippers. Zip them down the "sides" of the tent and then mostly down across the front. After that, zip your bottoms the same amount. Then zip it all together, up and down connecting all areas and then bask in the glory that is your tent!

At 8:00 into the video, he starts the hardest process. Also, he builds his frame INTO the bottom of his tent. This is a crazy good idea... why the hell didn't I ever do this? LOL. Honestly, if you're in a tight spot with head room, then you'll want to build it into the bottom of the tent anyways.

Lol its bare, but I got ya haha.

Thanks for the video and help on that, I was gonna quickly throw the instructions to the side(being a guy and all) and just throw it together, and realize I did it all wrong, and try to figure out where the hell I put the instructions and start over lmao.

But it is going into a closet, I'll take pictures in a few and put them up

Sounds like I'm going to have fun lol
 
2 quick pics of the new growth. And a pic of my closet. Its a pretty wide closet, 2 sliding doors, and that's just the side I'm putting it in.

Alright.. Now to hit the bong a few times, watch the video and look at the instructions and get started...

The lights due to be in Tuesday. And I will have everything up and running that night, unless I have some sort of technical difficulty. Lol.

Im not going to have any problems with the instant light change am I? And with LED I still continue on 24/0 right?

First of all WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!! hahahha I'm so freaking happy to see you haveeee a tent!!! :D :aok:

Woo! :)

Next...

2 quick pics of the new growth. And a pic of my closet. Its a pretty wide closet, 2 sliding doors, and that's just the side I'm putting it in. Ok, so you'll only have one access side to the tent. Keeping that in mind for things.

Alright.. Now to hit the bong a few times, watch the video and look at the instructions and get started...Good morning.. I'll hit it a few times too!

****, we forgot a purchase. Maybe go to that hydro store, as this is a simple one..Quick Pulleys: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0098R0600/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
Yes, light is still going to be on 24/7.

What an awesome thing going on right now. Great for me to see! Just make sure to get that pulley setup. You only need to use one of the pulleys so.. meh

Also, when you get your LED light, the first thing you'll want to do is "double up" the long chains that come with it. I may have to actually show you what I mean, but basically the wire they send to hang it from is like 2 feet long!! Bit crazy. I just ran the wire through the LED connectors and "doubled them up" .. hard to explain lol. This will buy you more height (headroom) when the time comes that it matters.

I think your goal height is going to be around 18" - 20" before you flip to flowering. We'll talk more about that soon :)

Alright, just ordered the pulleys before even finishing reading that lol! I assumed everything I needed came with it haha. Oh well, I'm putting my 2day prime shipping to use again[emoji2] I'm not really sure if you posted that, and quoted it, but I don't see that anywhere, my app is probably messing up.

Your excitement level seems about like mine, except I'm really anxious for the LED to come. OH MAN!! It just dawned on me, I won't have any waiting time on the pulleys. 2 days from now is Tuesday haha. Sweeeeeet.

I think I understand what you mean by doubling it up. Do post a picture, if you would/can. That way I have a reference when it comes.

And awesome. I'll keep the height in mind when setting everything up, and I'll have my tape measure handy.

I believe those are for hanging your carbon filter. You know, that next purchase you're making? :D hah

Ooooooh. That makes sense. I was baffled by it because it shows them on the instructions, but it says absolutely nothing about them, just very vague picture of what they (somewhat) look like haha.
 
Always have your tape handy, as daily you'll want to check the distance the LED is from the plant. Random thought, know what's nifty about LED's? The spectrum consists of colors that actively feed the plant like the nutrients you feed it the root system. Pretty neat eh? So, ultimately, you're able to feed it a "weaker" nutrient solution. I'm just now getting used to this whole thing myself.. so we'll speak more on this later through time.
Glad you were able to get the pulley's on 2 day. When are you doing the vent setup... next week? You'll want it sooner than later. OHHH ****, I don't think I added a speed controller to that when I gave you the links. Let me check...

Yeah, grow tent directions are freaking SILLY. I don't know why lol
 
Bummer... I was wrong, delivery date is set for the 15th, so I'll have to wait an extra day. I'll survive though, with any luck it will come a day early.

Time for some more bong rips[emoji4]

What is, the pulley system? You can just hang it with some STRONG rope if need be for 24 hours. Or something. Just remember.. no more duct tape, and do things properly. IF you can not do them properly (enough) do not do them. Cool beans? :)

Ok.. let me hunt down those pics.

Hurricane Fan 171 CFM Inline Fan, 4-Inch - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ZU6ZT8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

4" Carbon Air Filter (I found a cheap one, but the one I use is about $40 more than this one..I can't speak for this one, but I know you like cheap) - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HT0GZ8/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

If you were curious, this is the one I use: Phat Filter 12 inchx4 inch, 200 CFM - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00598H6XM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Here's the ducting - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015UGPWQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

^^ Now that's only 8 feet of it, but should be more than fine for what you need.

So, Fan + Carb Filter + Ducting is the last of your major purchases.

Last on the list would be nutes, and DIY res etc etc. :aok:

Alright so, fan / filter / ducting..but you also want this speed controller!!

Here's the cheapest one I'd trust: [ame]http://www.amazon.com/VenTech-VTSPEED-Variable-Router-Controller/dp/B00EVYGPJQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1428839695&sr=8-4&keywords=fan+speed+controller[/ame]
Here's one I know would work (great brand, $5 more): [ame]http://www.amazon.com/Active-Air-ACSC-Speed-Adjuster/dp/B007TFTITS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1428839695&sr=8-2&keywords=fan+speed+controller[/ame]
And here's the one I have (most expensive, but has worked for 2 years straight): [ame]http://www.amazon.com/SPEEDSTER-VARIABLE-SPEED-CONTROLLER-736617/dp/B00AE15S1G/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1428839695&sr=8-8&keywords=fan+speed+controller[/ame]

I know the first and 3rd choice looks similar....loads of companies doing copy catting. I bought a cheap $15 one that looks JUST like my Speedster one... it died over night and I woke up to 95% RH in my tent, and the walls DRIPPING with water, while I was 4 weeks into flowering. I was PISSED!!
