Damo666 Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 What hacks have you used to solve some problems we face. Or just what is beneficial. I will donate a gem of a hack for indoor tent growers to start. That is. Are you annoyed at the wasted space in your grow tent caused by negative pressure sucking the walls in. I found in a 2x2 tent if the wall is sucked in say 3" then that's a foot lost! Now you can buy the tent expanders but they are expensive . I use wire coat hangers slightly bent at each corner around canopy height. This pushes the tent walls out gaining a lot of the lost space. This has helped me so much with plants not getting squashed. Try it guys. Please donate and make this a very helpful thread 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Military Grade Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 I used cardboard corner protectors as space savers for about 2 or so years, ended up with a load of them for free then the idea popped into my head 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) Taking the scrog net off after the 3rd week of flower has been completed, this means you can get the net off easy still while the plant for the most part keeps its shape, only requiring minimal ties from branches to pot rim, this makes harvest time much easier for those who like to hang the plant whole when drying, also helps keep the net cleaner for longer as it doesn't come in contact with loads of trichomes I probably wouldn't recommend this on larger grows but worked great in my smaller tents as seen in the Pineapple Express #2 pic a few posts above(Notice no net) Edited August 2 by Military Grade 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I beg to differ, circulation fans will save you from bud rot, something I learned the hard way. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyRider Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Not so much a growing hack, but... You know those little glass ramekins you get when you buy Gu desserts or whatever.. well couple those with a pringles lid and you get a nice, small air tight container good for a couple buds when your mates come round. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeltaMelter Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Seriouslky though, following on from what @Military Grade does you can be a cheapskate like me and use old nutrient bottles or plastic milk bottles to 'sprag' your tent sides open and stop them getting sucked in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got a circulation fan recently (after over 20 years of growing ), I've noticed that my plants also seem to grow more robust stems now there's air being blown at them constantly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one. Just grabbed all the empty pringles tubs from my messy son's room and all the Gu jars from my missus's junk drawer. Now I have a load of sealed tubs. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
