Grow light, rack and tent for tubs and jars.
    #27076770 - 12/07/20 09:01 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

Hi guys

I'm getting a little tired of having visible monotubs sitting around in my apartment (studio) and would like to create a more organized setup.

I ordered this rack on Amazon. It fits 4 60qt tubs which is perfect for what i'm doing.



18" Deep x 54" Wide x 36" High 3 Tier Black Starter Shelving Unit

It's standing up against the wall in my apartment. I would like to somehow cover it, and thought of building some sort of a custom tent with grow lights around it.

Any recommendations on lights and tent that I can customize to fit the measurements of the rack?

Other ideas are much appreciated as well :smile:

These LED rope lights work well



As far as covering goes, I'd be concerned about problems associated with lack of air flow.

That's perfect! I wonder if it's possible to buy the tent material and then assemble it myself so it fits my rack?

In terms of light. I found these that seems easy to put together without having to do any electric work.

Those lights look good. Why don't you just hang a tapestry in front of the shelf or use a partition? That tent looks like overkill and might be kind of stagnant for mushrooms. Running a fan in there will likely dry out the substrate..

If you go with a tent you could cut a hole in the side and put a cpu fan in the hole, on a timer to bring in fresh air. A few minutes every few hours shouldn't cause too much drying.

Great. I think i'm gonna give the lights a go. Do I need to worry about the distance from the light fixtures to the tubs? They are going to get pretty close.

Here is how it currently looks.



Yeah. I just need something to cover the rack with when possible. It doesn't have to be tent, but I figured some reflective material on the inside wouldn't hurt?

I'm open to other ideas as well. Even a fabric curtain could work?

Do you have a closet that you could fit a shelving unit in?

I don't unfortunately. This is the only option I have at the moment.

The lighting distance shouldn't be a problem since LEDs don't generate much heat. I honestly don't even use lights. Just ambient sunlight that comes through the blinds. There's not going to be any advantage to having reflective surfaces.

If it were me I would just put something like this in front of it:



Have you considered lining your tubs with with 3 mil contractor bags to prevent side pinning? Side pins are the worst.

Yes, I'm going to revert back to putting in a liner. I did some tests, but i'm getting to many side pins :/

I think i'm gonna look into adding a curtain that's attached to the side railing.
