Pre-made grow canopies are farrrrr too expensive for what you get.

Making a grow tent in a garage is a piece o' pie.

Buy a roll of 3m (9ft) wide pandafilm. On the garage floor, construct a rectangle out of 2x4 lumber the same size as the intended floorspace.

Size the tent to fit the size of whatever watering system you intend to use so the 'walls' are as close to the plants as possible, maximising reflection of otherwise wasted light back to the plants.

Put a couple of crossmembers to support a pandafilm 'ceiling' and to give convenient mounting points for lights.

Throw a layer of pandafilm over the rectangular frame to create a 'ceiling'. Get a good friend or two to hold the frame and ceiling up to the garage roof joists while you screw it in place.

Create hanging curtain walls by wrapping the frame with pandafilm. Create a light-trapped entry flap by doubling over the last 3-4 feet of the tent wrapping.

Done!
Al B. Fuct Reviewed by Al B. Fuct on . Growing in a not so enclosed space? Okay, I know this may be a silly question, but if people donā??t ask silly questions, then they never get serious answers. I moved into a house a few months ago, and have a garage thatā??s not really doing anything but holding junk. I was considering the possibility of growing in there using HPS instead of my old apartment setup of CFLā??s in a cab. The thing is, Iā??m not quite sure how inefficient a 600+ watt system would be in a non closet environment, as thatā??s how everyone seems to be Rating: 5
