So the idea here is to keep the plants dry and free from mold right? It's to keep the light in and the air ventalated correct? I am growing cannabis

You have the right idea, but a tent allows better control of temperature and humidity levels too. A tent is to create and regulate a small ecosystem, in this case, an ecosystem for growing cannabis. That's what I grow too. Outdoors growing is easier, but in winter a tent is ideal if there is no spare room to convert into a grow room or space to built one out of lumber. There are better tents than this one, but for the price this one is plenty adequate. Good luck. PS I recommend Jorge Cervantes's book, Medical Grower's Bible. A good place to learn about more indoor growing.

We are growing it indoors because it needs daily care regarding watering and checking soil moisture. Because it has been so cold we haven't been able to have it outside in the sun so the soil became moldy and had to be replaced with added rocks for improved drainage. Overall it's doing great.

It would be fine in both scenarios..... According to everything I read. The only thing to be aware of is that anything closed up that tight needs to 'aired out' regularly because moisture locked in it can encourage mold development.

Absolutely, I started all of my garden seeds using this system. If you wanted to keep the plants under this light I would suggest that you get a full spectrum lamp. This will aide in preventing the plants from getting too leggy.

Fan airflow regulator. You want fresh air coming in and fresh air going out plus carbon filter. I would use an ipower 600 watt light with cool tube. Need negative air pressure. Sensi grow a and b works well with the hobbyist bundle made by advanced nutrients. Genetics is also key though. Use femenized seeds. Keep your temp stable and watch your humidity

Yes, but the plants will require only a misting. If you over water you could drown your plants and run the risk of growing mold while in the box.

It could help, I've used mine in a small green house I made to help keep the soil temperature up, it does not keep too much moisture it stays dry enough to grow in. I'm sure this would work another option is call a vapor barrier that would help water proofing with out the insulation it is often used in home and basements to keep mold from growing. Hope this helps.

Mold grows in any condition where there is a food supply, darkness and humidity. So a tent is a perfect environment, especially on a 12/12 hour light/darkness growing cycle where there is ample darkness. Keep the tent as dry and clean as possible, and you shouldn't have much problem. I never have but I live in a very dry climate with low humidity. Good luck!

It adds moisture to the air which is better for you and your plants. Air condition dries out the air. But cooling by adding moisture / humidity only works if the air is dry - less than 50% humidity. It does not use chemicals like an air conditioner does. It also does not use a compressor so uses less energy. It is better for you and the environment, but does not cool as much. I greatly prefer it, but it's not for everyone or all places. They generally cool about 20° cooler than the air temperature. My first one sounded like waves. I loved it. The next one sounded a little like a fan plus some water gurgling. Not bothersome but as soothing as the first. It adds moisture to the air which is better for you and your plants.

It is better to store seeds covered in the refrigerator with desiccant packets to absorb moisture. That is what I learned in master gardeners class.

You want to wash/rinse it out well after use, wring it out but leave it damp to store it. There should be instructions that come with it but if you clean it first it doesn't get moldy/mildewy.

I don't believe this is a good idea. You will notice some moisture without doing this. You may want to contact the manufacturer directly.

I think about room temperature should be fine. These are fungal spores so I imagine they are incredibly resilient to temperature changes.

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the general approach used with most bulbs will not hurt: Store them in a cool, dark place. Do NOT store them in a sealed plastic bag because that can engender rot. A mesh bag works best. If you can't find one of those, punch holes in a plastic bag.Curiously, I "lifted" a large number of oxalis "rhizomes" last fall. Many did not survive--although many did. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but they were stored in a cool, dry location in "ventilated" storage containers.

I grow in a grow tent that is located in my basement and vent outside the tent but inside my basement. No need to vent to the outside at all-venting outside your grow room/tent will be just fine. This unit will control any odor without worry. Hope this helps!

No! This is for bringing them through the flower (and or) the fruiting stage. This of course depends on what you are growing. You need the metal halide for the vegetation stage. A 125 watt or more full spectrum compact fluorescent bulb will do both and be much easier on your electric bill, all you have to do is adjust the the amount of time the lights stay on, this will depend on what you are growing.
