This 6 × 3 × 2.4 m flowering tent was designed as a fully automated, stand-alone system. It ran seven large plants comfortably, with capacity for an eighth if needed. Lighting was provided by four Mars Hydro FC-E1200W fixtures, giving full canopy coverage and enough headroom to push plants hard in late flower.
Environment control was completely independent from the rest of the site. Fresh air came through three Mars Hydro iFresh 6″ intake fans with automotive filters, while three Vivosun S6 units and one Mars Hydro 6″ automatic fan handled extraction. Climate was stabilised by an Arlec 16,000 BTU WiFi AC and a 3.5 kW Euromatic portable air conditioner on Grid Connect, supported by a Vivosun H19 intelligent humidifier to keep VPD in range.
The irrigation system was a closed-loop design built around a 250 L SeaHawk main tank outside the tent and a 100 L internal reservoir. Seven Bucket Company 22″ stands with extended legs sat over the plumbing so runoff could be captured, pumped back, and reused. An AQUAPRO AP3000 managed main flow, with a secondary brushless pump (5 m, 1100 L/h) in the reservoir. Feeding, recycling, and scheduling were all controlled via WiFi, allowing precise monitoring of plant uptake and nutrient use.
Air movement inside the tent came from two 40 cm Click wall fans and a 40 cm Arlec floor fan.
A 5 × 2 m wooden frame holding twin ScrOG nets at 40 cm spacing for structured canopy management.
Power was delivered directly from the main switchboard through a 40 A breaker and two 25 mm feeds on separate circuits—one dedicated to lighting and one for all auxiliary equipment. Grid Connect WiFi wall sockets and multiple double outlets made the whole system plug-and-play, with a 5-pin plug assembly so the entire tent could be disconnected and moved as a single unit. The full setup was monitored and controlled from a phone.
