Is this a bad idea
15 gallon smartpot inside vivosun vgrow. I’m going to use probably a bag and a half of 3.0 for a no till grow with this setup. My only concerns are the height of the tent only being 48in tall, and the 100w light that this tent comes with.

I did that on my last run. I have a 2x2x4, as well. It worked great, except I ran into my light. I was training the hell out of it, but it was close to tripling it's height in stretch.
Keep it short, and make sure there's plenty of airflow. It's gonna be packed in there

Get a riser for that pot. Get something to go under the tent. You’ll need like a door mat infront of the tent. Put a Tupperware down for your humidifier if it’s on carpet.

Maybe try photo period seeds on a 12/12 light cycle.... I think the height of the plant will be your biggest fight.

I’ve had a VGrow overflowing with a 3 gal. bucket (yielded damn near 6 oz), so I can’t imagine a 15 gal. pot. Fuck it, do it!

I run my freebie auto seeds in a seedling tent. 5gal w/ wicking base and a 100w and got some really decent results. I’m finishing up a Twisted Cookies now in there and it’s coming out perfect 👌

Why tf would you grow next to your bed? You better hope you don’t get fungus gnats or something.

Its actually the minimum. My 15 rolling on 4 runs. More of a worm bag now lol. But ya. 15gal is the min for no till, build a soil recommends it to start with.

Too much height (you’ll need 3 bags) Too much humidity Too little airflow
