If you're limited on space, but still want massive harvests, you're in luck.
In today's video, we'll show you everything you need to get started in a 2 by 4 tent.
Here's how the pros pump out pounds in the corner of a room.
I remember when AC Infinity was like this ventilation company for cabinets and stuff. Then they came out with that inline fan and filter. Now they're dominating the market with some seriously high quality stuff. Lights, dehumidifier, controllers, heater and now an actual AC. Hell, they even sell grinders. ALL the best quality with an unboxing experience like an Apple product. And they have by far the best customer service.
For headroom, I recommend putting the filter on the outside, unless you're growing smaller plants. I also detached the driver for the light and keep that outside too. However, I use a 6 inch if placed outside the tent. 4 inch if on the inside.
Two small clip fans on the bottom, one over the light and one oscillating just above the canopy. Seems like I lot, but it keeps bugs out, no powdery mildew and helps with strong branches. Keep in mind not to blow directly on the plants. They just want a little dance.
Everyone has their own way, so if you're getting the results you want, then that's the way you do it.
Best hobby in the world!
I know what you mean with AC Infinity..lol
@@RobMyself I run my exhaust fan outside the tents for headroom and keep the light ballast outside as well. Also use a 300w in my 3x3 and two 100w in the 2x4. The smaller lights keep the heat down in my 11x12 lung room and produce well when combined with DLI readings and charts.
Fans are a tower in the corner and clip on above and never have issues with mold or mildew. I tend to target humidity of around 45% but don’t get overly concerned with precise numbers. Cannabis does well within a range of temps and humidity and I’d never nail it precisely.
The results are great and I can’t imagine doing much better by throwing more money at it. Going with dry amendments to make things even easier than it already is.
Always look forward to scotty reals thanks for the info 👊
Thanks for watching!
You can also get buckets at home depot that has a water reservoir and you can water them from the bottom to make the roots search for the water
I love ac infinity stuff. As a tent maker myself , i love the quality. As far as reflectivity goes the walls may not be as bright as the others but from what I manufactured. White is brighter and more reflective than the reflective material, lol. Have a great day growmies!
I've been growing for about 6 years now in an apartment with an AC Infinity 2x4 and at one point a 4x4. I've been slowly switching all my old equipment (Inkbird plugs, exhaust, carbon filters,humidifiers etc.) to AC Infinity products over time. The UIS Controller just makes everything so much easier to manage. Hooked my Migro ARAY 4 lights to it without issue. Good info for new growers Scotty!
Good stuff!
It's a life saver when you che know app and seeing the heat just went mental for no reason and you can adjust things to save it.
This definitely is the way to go if you want a decent product with minimal effort and worry.
Sub irrigation, microbes, and organics.
Well presented, guys 👏 👏 👏
This is how my brother-in-law grows. A lot cheaper then go to the dispo. Great show!
I'm watching this at work and checking my tents' vitals. 😊
My brother has a Gorilla brand 4x4. It's made tuff like carhartt clothes. It's definitely a quality tent. Spider farmer lights, fans and controls. He does fantastic
Just orders a 4x2x5 for my understairs grow. hand picked all the parts, spent 686 bucks on prime day. very satisfied. cant wait to start it up. my 2x2 was good to learn but now im ready for 4 plants. 3 in the 4x2 and 1 in the 2x2
I should add my first tent was the ac infinity 2x2 compact grow kit
Yes thank you . Was waiting on a video from you guys about this.
Hope you enjoyed it!
MIGRO ARAY 4 is definitely a light to check out. I recently purchased one for my 2x4 tent and it is a game changer!!! Inexpensive, super efficient, the driver is outside the test for even better temperature management!
His lights are bullshit bro. Ac infinity evo, HLG, Mars Hydro, viparspectra, and medic grow are all better
@@SilentScreamsStudios Just stating other brands in no way helps to explain WHY Migro lights are "bullshit". The design, materials, build etc. of these lights are very high quality when examining them. Explain to me like I am 5 years old what makes them bullshit because if they indeed are, such as if there is some false advertising going on here that one wouldn't necessarily see without tearing apart one of these lights, then I would really like to know.
@@SeanVigne do your own research buddy, I will not get into all of that with you ok. Find out for yourself. Thanks
@@SeanVigne viparspectra p2000 is even cheaper and they work well but you can't relocate the driver. AC Infinity lights put out good amount of light and we'll as medic grow lights. Do you know though that a lot a info and a lot of the high-end lights are really not needed. I have friends that use junk brand lights but still produce good yields. It all about genetics and how you water as well as nutrients used and yes the light. You don't need 1000w lights lol.
I have a 2x4 and a 3x3. The 2x4 gets a couple autos and the 3x3 two photos. The only things I do differently is use a tower fan in one corner. My exhaust fan has a programmable controller but isn’t WiFi but I’m always around to keep an eye on things.
This is a great way to grow. It’s great being self sufficient and sample different strains. I try to keep things simple and not overthink or overspend on every shiny new object unless I really need it. My wish list is one of those automated drying, curing and storage racks.
I’ve heard there’s diy cannatrol on RUclips, I haven’t actually looked yet but I’m thinking about going that route.. just a thought,, happy growing ✌🏼
@@Highvdubguy I use a 2x2 dedicated drying tent with a fan and carbon filter. It has an electric carousel motor and round metal racks with hooks for the flower. The room stays fairly cool and the carousel keeps the flower moving. I supplement the humidity when I’m drying then store it in grove bags when it’s dry. I get so damn baked doing it my way for a modest investment of $250 that I can’t imagine it being much better.
Nice infomercial. 👍
Last fall got 1.98lb scrog in 2x4 used g4500 spider farmer fits wall to wall. 6 inch exhaust
I’m a new grower, I’m still on my first grow. I have a ACI 2x4 kit. It came with a 6” exhaust fan and a light with the “H” LEDS
Before starting seeds get tent setup and get used to using the controller. I am using the controller with the WIFI app. Way easier to use. Also come to grips with the different modes for cycle, schedule, timer etc. Also understand that OFF doesn’t mean 0. One can set a speed for the OFF setting.
I mounted my exhaust outside the tent. Right now my canopy is less than a foot from the light and the light brackets are zip tied to top braces
Be prepared to buy a humidifier and a heater if you live in the North. I’m not using the humidifier now but I did when I started on 4/20. I made my own heater box so I can’t comment yet on ACI heater. But heater is useful if you want to manage VPD.
Don’t forget a pH pen to check water, and a light meter. If you assume or don’t pay attention you can avoid problems.
I used home made SIP buckets with 5 gal black plastic buckets. The way my plants are now there is only room for 2 feminized.
My SIP are probably using 6” or more space at the bottom that I now wished I had for the canopy😊
I got a 3x3 with a vivosun vs4000 stay posted i just switched from HPS to LED i got one 6in duct fan blowing into the bottom one blowing air out the top. Works great. Stays at 78 with humidity at 48. Ive done good grows under hps in there. So hope the vs4000 does the job rated for a 4x4 par tests i seen on a 4x4 were a lil lower then id like but in my 3x3 i think ill be ok without co2
I use the AC infinity 6" fan for my 5x5 with Spider farmer E8600 and AC infinity wicking bases work great!! Oh and Grow dots :-) thanks Scotty
🙌
I have many of those :) I always called mine a 2x2 . Soon they all will be running on growdots and recharge .They work great . Good info Scotty
Thanks for sharing
I think the temp of the room you have the tent in is the most important factor. If you can get this right you are half way there.
Hey scotty love the show , keep up the hard work.❤
Thank you, Will Do!
I'm digging my 4 x 4 from Vivosun. Good product line as I've seen so far, and plenty of room for all my needs
I just pushed out 6 in a 2x4 harvested 4 of the 6 yesterday. It was a learning experience by far but very efficient. Plan to run grow buckets with my auto in the future tho. And fabric pot for phones
Running a grow powered by solar is the perfect situation to be in. Scotty have you considered this before?
Good video. This could make for a good series about growing in different size tents. I'm currently using a 4x8. Kinda wish I went with two 4x4s instead.
I love my 2x4 tent. I had to go with Vivosun because everyone had 72 in tall tents. Because of my ceilings in the corners, I couldn't go above 69in height otherwise the tent would be halfway into my room. I do like the ac infinity fans that i use with their 69 pro controller. I control my vipar spectra and spider farmer lights. Also, Subirrigation has changed my life.
I have the AC 2x4 with the Evo3 and its great. The velcro door hanger went out in the first month of use
I absolutely love my 2x4! I actually prefer it over my 4x4! 🤜🤛
my advice for a 2x4 tent.... buy two of them
And a 2x2 to feed em. 💯
@@mrshootingsteel9292 I use a 2x4 for autos, 3x3 for photos, T5 for the first few days of seedling and 2x2 dedicated drying tent. Running two photos in the 3x3 and two autos x two runs on the 2x4 auto tent for a total of six plants every grow cycle. That fills the need to stock the cabinet with my go-to favorites and rotate some fun Autoflower. Right now two White Widow XXL from Barney’s farm photos. I like Fast Buds for my auto tent and have one Banana Purple Punch and one Blackberry germinating as well.
My wife and adult kids want my stuff I’m gummies so I’m watching videos on how to make those. Everything I grow is among the best genetics available and my style is hand crafted grows of quality plants. That is what things have morphed into with one year under my belt.
Why?
@@nikolasmaes99 I like them because I can reach the plants from outside the tent. That becomes a very important part of gardening after one’s seventieth birthday.
@@StanMNdirt True. Also when ur 30. I already have two actualy. Sorta just happend 🤣
i use a 2x4, grows plenty, in fact, only need one grow a year, and i never fill to capacity....and growing is soothing for me...and im on 3 years on my carbon filter, still takes out all the smell
Hello my name is is Daniel and I am a first time grower and I already made my first mess is starting off with 13 different plants I started in the clear solo cups because it easy to see the roots growing and all off them are small but bushy but I’m am using organic pro mix is that the reason why the short but have a lot of tops two them
I have the spider farmer G4500
Scotty knows what's up!
You make great products!
Great video guys!
I just put together a 2x4 that includes AC Infinity's wifi controller for under $450 all in. With LED lights these days, it is a very viable format to grow in. So farm I'm loving it, much easier to take care of plants than in a 4x4 since you can reach everything.
I have the perfect setup for my disability.
THANKS, SCOTTY -HI-C 😊 LOVE THE GREAT GROW INFORMATION ❤ BRITISH THERMAL UNIT.=BTU..
HLG is wicked from quality to customer service. I run a 300L B spec for seedlings to mid veg, 350 R for mid veg to early flower and a Scorpion diablo V2 for flowering.
Yes for personal Scotty your dead on with 2x4 easy to work on plants cause their right there arm reach. 4x4 u have bend that back and knees a lot to groom the back plants 2x4 is great for persona. I wish some company would make the perfect size 2.5x4.5 or even 5’ long that way add 1 more plant be perfect.
Over watering has got me a bunch of timws in the past its a hard habit to break you'll always have the want to but just don't do it lol. I bought a soil meter that test the moisture it was my go too until i got where i could tell by weight and finger in the soil.
At first I water from a turkey baster to only give my sprouts a few ounces at a time every other day or so, depending on how dry the medium is. Then I start making them wait 4-7 days between feedings. I also bought the self feeding drip pans from ac infinity. I'm not convinced that everything they make is golden, but those pans are nice. They gave me about a weeks worth of feeding before needing more, if you watered through the fabric pot and then added to the pan thing.
Is in your tent 👏 👍 👌
I love seeing new growers buy a 2x4 tent and show off their 5-6 seedlings in the bottom looking at cute and tiny. In about 5 weeks time you’ll quickly find out you’re running out of real estate in that tent.
Do you?
I have a ac infinity 2x4. Anything wider and I can’t reach much If I go larger I would need something big enough for my wheelchair
I also have a ac infinity exhaust fan and carbon filter , a aerolight 200watt and the ac infinity bar lights in the corners lighting from below and from the side. I have 2 vivosun 6 inch clip fans, ac auto watering bases, ac cloth pots a flucal co2 system made for a planted aquarium. I have some bird peppers and jalapeno peppers starting to fruit.
@@MasonsAlienGrowhow do you like those bar lights? Did you notice better nugs? Less larf? I want to get them too!
I love my 2x4 tent especially now that I’ve got it dialed in but except for much easier odor control I’m not sure it adds that much value to my spare bedroom growing situation. It certainly comes with its own set of problems to solve. It does let you optimize but how much optimization does one need for a successful grow for personal consumption? Anyway, glad I bought it and flirting with the idea of a second one but not sure I’d recommend for everyone.
Right on
@@dac7046 what I like about the 2x4 at 73 with bad back and knees is the easy reach. I can sit on my chair and reach everything. I use my 3x3 in a similar way, two plants both easy to reach and top and shape the photos, low stress with stakes and ties on the autos. Might use a skrog on the photos if I feel like wrestling with one. Thinking about making some skrog racks out of 1/2” plastic conduit to satisfy my creative money saving tendencies.
My question is with the real buckets set up. Will that water reach all the way up to a seedling; or do you have to top water in the beginning?
You may have to top water for a few days until the roots start to grow deeper.
I’ve saved a lot of money with my Spider Farmer 2x2 grow kit. I got a qp my last grow. Havent had to buy anything in months. I have a regular Mimosa and feminized Special Queen #1 running right now.
This is what were looking at the AC Infinity 2x4 kit. Our room temp averages around 75 degrees and 50% humidity.
Also looking at a 2x2 for drying.
Im seeing mix reviews about the S24 light that the tent comes with same with power?
Should I order a secord light?
Also i cant find out about if the carbon filter are refillable that comes with the kit or how long does run filter last before replacing?
Just here to kick the algorithm in the nuts . just rolling along .❤ ✌
You're the best!
I run 3, 5 gal pots with ac infinity water bases in my 2x4
That’s the tent I have but I got the bundle
Put together my grow tent by using Ali express and Temu all together 250 without the carbon filter
For a 2x4 check out the Sanlight 4 120, it's pretty neat
The taller the tent the better.bthev53 inch tall isn't good for full grow. To close to light. 7ft tall minimum
I understand the content creators deserve to make money and that companies want to promote their products but i just want to hear an unbiased opinion on what is the most smart things to buy for a first time grower
I'm in a 4x4 for my indoor ladies, but started from a 2x2!
💪
You're talking to me today Scotty...thx💚
Perfect!
Ebay, Ebay, Ebay. All the large commercial companies have their hub in Ontario, CA. Double size light packages over the competitor. 400w light was overnighted. No joke.
Don't get me wrong, ac Infinity is a great company. But I have their 2x4 advanced grow system. Plus, their humidifier and the thermoforge. I just added the HLG 350 diablo. It is extremely hard to control temp and humidity for the VPD. Maybe it's because it's so small? I bought it so I could be in full control, but it is turning out to be a headache. Winter wasn't such a struggle, but now that it's summer, it's not so fun. At this point, it's not fun
and a lot of money spent
What's your opinion on Vivosun?
They will work if that is what you have but I myself would rather get ACI products of something that will hold up to constant every day use.
i bought a big old bag of recharge because scotty is so damn likable not because i need it :)
🙌
HLG all the way for the win! I got a scorpion diablo and a 650R diablo in my 4x8 and those lamps got some kind of voodoo going on, not to mention absolutely awesome customer service. Expensive? Not really with a discount code besides buy once cry once
Nice!!
Hlg are killer but run hot AF
Best par value in tent 2x4 ???
Seedling or Clone 100 - 300, Vegetative 250 - 600, Flowering 500 - 1050
All my dispo money now goes to seed companies😂
AC tents are too short. The way to go even as expensive as it is would be Gorilla Tents. AC Infinity makes some great products but their lights and tents need some work to catch up to the best.
How big of a co2 use do you need for a 2x4?
So..if i use Grow Dots...i put it in and leave....i dont have to worry about magnesium deficiency or anything else....its just going to do its job and i dont have to worry about anythig
As long as you are using a good quality medium, all you will need to do is apply Recharge once a week until the last few weeks of the flower.
3 days is a lot with out coco
Should the bottom flaps be open when growing/flowering? I assume they should, unless the tent allows for fresh air to be pulled inside through the fabric material. Any knowledge on this idea?
You can have them open in flower as long as it is not letting light in.
@@Yahhboiii I made light proof intake vents for my tents. Used a few feet of the flexible ductwork and rigged up cloth filters so pests can’t enter the tents. My 2x4 Mars came with some pinhole light leaks and the 3x3 Spider Farmer is pitch dark so I made that a photo tent. My first three Bubba Kush photos in the 2x4 did alright but I wanted to eliminate the possibility of herming future grows. Gaff tape like I use for music cables works to cover pinholes if I was to look for a quick fix.
Or wrap your closet with panda plastic. A lot cheaper
Damn Scotty where's the recharge codes or coupons been asking u brother
🔥🔥🔥
Ha! I got the 420th like! Thanks Scotty!
You rock!
I am only used to growing outdoors, but I am considering starting indoors as well. What is the maximum amount of auto flowers you would consider growing in a 2x2? I could see myself running 3 in a 2x2 using topping, lolipopping into a trellis net. Do you think this is a viable strategy or am I just overestimating the indoor space?
you could grow a one good sized auto in a 2x2
@@ScottyReal420 thanks for letting me know!
Never buy ac infinity lights
I got the cloud line 8"packed in less than a year!!!
I respectfully disagree. I switched from the Electric Sky ES300 to their light and I'm getting incredible results. And the convenience of the Wi-Fi controller is awesome.
But to each his own I suppose
@@RobMyselfHLG buddy if you want see actual results
Care to say why?
They are for sure under powered for the space. I prefer HLG lights but as a new grower they aren’t bad as the kits go for cost. But again under powered for the size they suppose to light.
what is a 2x4 in cm?
approximately 61 cm x 122 cm
@@ScottyReal420 thank you Scotty, mine is 100x100cm
Currently at the moment I just got myself a DIY grow tent and bought myself a $20 light to grow with but I recently found out that CoCo Coir helps roots develop faster then using soil is this true if so I need to get some before these beans pop
rockwool is even faster,,
@@bovineexcrement8635 so Rockwool will make my plant go from seed to harvest even faster
On a side note; I absolutely love AC Infinity but the Fans motor has died on me twice now.
I had to buy another one but scared to be out another $50 in a couple months. 🤷♂️
I tried to email but never got any response. What’s the best way to reach out to them?
They often have someone live chatting with people though their website during business hours in the support tad or check your spam folder they are good at greet back to people.
@@ScottyReal420 Awesome! Thanks for the tip Scotty! 🤜🤛
And for new growers never trust your lights par sheets I did this and it tore my auto up to where she foxtailed cause PPFD was too high at the hight it was supposed to be 800-900 PPFD for flower and it was at 1300ppfd no CO2 except what it gets from my house from ppl here and animals
Not that I disagree, but the one thing you lose not going to the dispensary is variety. You're stuck with the same products for months. I still love growing my own.
HUGE waste of money. Space is too small and better grow room equipment can be researched and found. Your grow experience and results depend on it.
i like this.
😂 a 2x4 for you and friends?
I have 2 2x4's scrogged out with 4 each. one in veg the other in flower rotating every 60 days just for my personal smoke
At this point bro is just reading my mind . Just bought a 2x4 lol
Hell yeah, Happy Growing.
Ur wrong Scotty it's not as easy as u say brotha I'm even doing organic Gaia green and still running into issues growing is not as easy as ppl say yes I can get to harvest but problems occur
Sorry you had a tough experience I grew organic, the only problem I had was gnats and that was my fault. Look up doctor zymes it’s super affordable and takes care of a majority of problems.
so two 2X2...
I love ya Scotty, but you're no Pro!
Be careful using Grow Dots. My first use of this product and my plants are in the worst shape of any of my grows. Very expensive to have suffering, stressed plants. Big bucks wasted on this product. Don’t buy.
a 200 watt light ? you might get 2 or maybe 3 ounces , you buy the tent, lights, filter, fan, soil, pots ? just go buy some weed at the weed store , better get a 4x4 tent with a dimmable 600 watt HPS light , then you can get something worth your time and money ..
You want roughly 30watts per square ft.
I love ac Infinity, only the product line i will use. I've tried sprider Farmer, mars hydro, vivsun. None of them did as well as aci evo04. I get stack on stacks. A few times, i got nugs the size of a branch super dence shit.
AC Infinity Eco system is the best buy. Everything under one umbrella. Three 3gl fab pots in each Tent. Im trying to do the perpetual grow and so far so good 👍 one harvest, (3 plants) every Three and half months. Fifth harvest mid July 🎉.
Im running 2- 2'x4's, Evo 3 lights, humidifier and T3 Heater's. Two exact same set-ups, all AC Infinity. Other than the Dehumidifier, from Amazon.
Grow Dots and Recharge!😊 On all my lady's.
They're really happy after i beat them up alittle. 🪓
Thanks guys for the info, Keep Growing!
Hell yeah, Growers Love!
