Grow tent on a balcony

Chanardo
Chanardostarted grow question 3y ago
Hello! I would like to know what precautions I should take when placing a grow tent on a balcony. I have no space inside. In principle it would be quite sheltered from the rain. The project is to place it in autumn in the southern hemisphere. Thank you!

huhu 😊 my balcony-tent has its spot since march this year... what I can tell you so far - if you want it perfect you (imho) need at least these 4 devices: - humidifier - dehumidifer - heating system (heating fan a "simple" led is not enough - in my tent its currently 13deg 😅) - best a control system wich automatically turns everything on and off (spider farmer ggs ac 5/10 - im using the 10 but u need everything from spiderfarmer) my tent has 2 openings on the bottom (mars hydro 70×70×160) - opening just one will lead to extreme "corner-moisture"... - so you need to open both sides opening both sides can lead to extreme temp / rlh changes... in simple words its a fight against climate conditions :D long story short - dont know what's your conditions - for Germany speaking of today and the next days / weeks / months - lets see if I will mine survive 50/50 :D glhf 🏻

Grow tents have pinholes. With direct sunlight this might be enough to cause issues(photoperiod plants). Most are black so heat could also be a problem if the sun hits the tent. Tents are not very stable so wind could also be an issue. Bugs will also get in. Might need to purchase some predator bugs or add extra bug netting.
