Can someone tell me if it wise to plant fruits with vegetables inside the same tent, provided they have similar lighting and humidity requirements?

It would really depend on the fruits and vegetables in question and the medium (soil, hydroponic, aeroponic) involved. If light requirements and humidity are compatible then yes. However certain plants can outgrow others in terms of root space and size so it would prove prudent to know all the details of your plants and their growth rates and/or nutrient requirement compatibilities if they are sharing a medium.

Yes you can. I experimented with the measurements over a period of time using one tray at a time. Seed storage : I store mine in a zip lock bag with oxygen absorbers in a cool dark place. I hope this helps.

I just received my vertical garden, so I have done any planting yet. I bought mine for strawberries. I would say some veggies would be fine, smaller compact, lightweight veggies. The tomatoes would be too heavy for it. It should be supported in some way with either the base that is made for it or mounted to something stable.

Yes it does, the leaf vegetables better to combine with hard vegetabls. Hard vegetables on their own no problem at all.Fruits alone is also no problem.

I really don't know why you would want too??? You certainly wouldn't want the humidity in the produce area to be dry. Plus the crystals in the container I'm sure aren't to be used around fool.

Yes!!! I planted last year and veggies turned out wonderful. It comes with instructions on "How To" get the seeds for the next planting season. I did the tomatoes and I've already got them started in my seed starter greenhouse. I'll be planting them next month. Other veggies planned for this year. It's a great way to multiply your seed stocks.

No. The fact that you asked this question indicates that you should purchase a book on indoor growing with your tent.

This is a nice tent and yes to your answer. They will have to be plants that only grow up to 2.5 feet though. Anything taller and the will hit lights and fan.

I fit 12 plants in 5 gallon fabric smart pots (6 on each side). Of course, it all depends on the size, strain, and the overall genetics of the plant...not to mention how long they were in veg state. It is a great tent for the price.

I think with cages, probably 3. I am using it for the first time this year. Planted lettuce, herbs, 1 tomato, pepper, spinach.

That would be a great way to regulate the humidity! Make sure the mushrooms receive the proper spectrum of lighting. About 6000or6500nm I think. Labeled as daylight spectrum bulbs, or adequate amounts of natural sunlight.(1-2hr direct+some indirect)(more is ohkay) I would think they would grow well in the terrarium. It would be real cool, do it! Make sure the hygometer inside the vivarium is set to an appropriate level for all life in the tank.

It should do fine. However, as you'll only get a little sun during the summer months, it would be a good idea to get some augment light, such as a small LED grow light. I keep mine indoors all the time -- it's not going to get too big -- and I have augmented light. Just don't let the temperatures get below 60 degrees as it is tropical.

It should have no problem with that, if its just for the lights, pulling from the grow room might make it hot by the 4th light, depending on grow room size, if your doing a other fan/s for that should work fine

Mold grows in any condition where there is a food supply, darkness and humidity. So a tent is a perfect environment, especially on a 12/12 hour light/darkness growing cycle where there is ample darkness. Keep the tent as dry and clean as possible, and you shouldn't have much problem. I never have but I live in a very dry climate with low humidity. Good luck!

Dear Joe, I don't know about watermelons, but for sure this will be a great setup for tomatoes. The best for you is to concentrate your plants on a 4x4ft space in the center of the tent, in the case of tomatoes you can grow from six to nine of them. Then place your 1000w hps on the center, surrownded by your leds with a space of about 15cm between them and at least 50cm from the plant canopy. I hope this may help you. By the way, I'm loving my leds!!!

You would use a store bought potting mix and plant in that..I use mine for hydroponic tomatoes ..indoors.

I am not sure but I would think as long as there is some space (dead air) between the plants and the mylar, the plants would be ok. Use it as a sun shade? Make sure the mylar is between the plants and the sun. If not, you will have a solar cooker.
