I know we are often intrigued by each others setups. Share a picture of yours here, and why not add a lesson learnt or helpful tip for others.
Here’s mine from 2025!
Hey Everyone.
This is my farm setup, and most of my growing experience comes from working in this kind of outdoor environment.
One thing I’ve definitely learned from growing this way is that you can’t control what other people are growing nearby, so there’s always a chance of cross‑pollination.
It’s just one of the realities of outdoor cultivation.
This was 2025 and in total there was 26 Plants.

Here’s my humble setup:
A 36x36x70” tent that I just finish resetting for my next grow. My very first tent was 36x20x60 and is good for 1 or 2 plants max, but no room for much of anything else. So that’s my drying tent now.
I’d only used one of my AW200 lights last time, this time I’m going to give it a go with both in there to see if we can get a better yield on this next grow experiment.
Not seen is the other circulating fan mounted toward the top of the tent, the T4 duct fan I just moved out of the tent and mounted to the back wall, and my humidifier outside the tent on the right side. All controlled with the GrowHub Controller E42A+.
As warm as it is where I am, I’ll be adding an a/c unit next so I can get it a little cooler in there.

Good things can come in small packages. Retired and moved into a smaller place so space is a premium.
Automated high frequency drain to waste fertigation system I built.

Nice. This is similar to ours. Looking forward to starting soon this year.

‘Living soil’ in a 5x5 here, hand watered 5gal pots. Mars FCE-1000 light, rarely goes above 70%. 8” extraction system with stepping temp control so it runs slow and quiet.
I prefer growing smaller plants more densely packed to reduce veg times.

2)2x4s and 3) 2x2x54”. Not worth actually showing but it does the job pretty well!
Lighting is up to 55 watts led per square foot for all but can’t get environmental conditions and co2 to handle all of that. Mostly hanging out around 25 watts a foot. Maybe one day I will get into co2 injection!
This is the first time the tent has been opened since the cups were transplanted to the posts 3 weeks ago

Hey y’all, first time grower here, haven’t gotten my medium yet so I have not started my grows, but this is my setup. I have two lights, one bestva light running at 1000w and one Ullahome light running at 700 w. The secondary light I did not know was low wattage, I thought it was also 1000w, but we shall see how my plants turn out. I have a 5x4 vivosun grow tent, have a 4in inline fan with smart controller to help air circulation, one humidifier, a govee dehumidifier, an oscillating fan, and two more smaller oscillating fans on the way. I also have a 3 in soil, light, and moisture meter, a ph meter and a TC reader( I think is what it’s called.)

I downsized from two tents to one. I’ll be flipping to flower this weekend. Currently in a 3x3 planning on upgrading to a three in one with a 4x4 so I can start breeding again. Mostly acinfinity and vivoson equipment. Living soil grow starting with Stonington Blend. Using Gaia Green and a few amendments. One thing I’ve learned……environment is key. Im growing Mac, Motorbreath, Original Glue and Lemon Skunk.

Hey @Bushman
Those plants look amazing. Tasty as well.
I have a question though, with the automation how are you combining the fertilizer to the irrigation? This really intrigues me a lot.
Hey @marc_seedsman , hadn’t really decided yet.
I’m thinking Ice Dream Cake Feminized or Fuel D.OG Feminized that I got in my last order.
I still have a good inventory of Grape Ape, Blue Dream, and Wedding Cake that I’m enjoying so it’s nice not being in any sort of rush to get the next grow going 
Which ever one I go with, I’ll be starting a Cultivation Diary to track the grow.
For my last run of White Widow, I used the time-lapse feature on the vivosun camera which turned out pretty cool. Need to do that again with this next grow.
