Thank you because I was really wondering how you set the temp on these so that definitely would have been something I asked about when the mat arrived and I realized that yes, they don’t have different settings. And that is super affordable!

And that is super affordable!Correct. You can daisy chain up to 6 and if you have all the hardware you can set each pad to a different temp. I decided against them due to the 6 have to be relatively close and I did not want to modify to extend the cables to 2 grow tents. Once I started using the grow tents I figured out I really do not need the heat from them as I actually have to use fans to cool everything down due to heat produced from the lights. There are several being sold on Amazon but Vivosun is good quality.

Vivosun is the grow tent you mean? If they have a small thing that could go on an unused bar I could block it off so the cats couldn’t destroy it at least. Most of the time they’re with me and not downstairs anyhow so I wanted to try and make a decent place for growing and *maybe* dormancy.
Jade wrote: ↑Thu May 02, 2024 1:45 am So a couple questions just because I don’t want to waste your extremely kind and generous offer if I’m not able to use it. I checked out the Vivosun tents, and they seem like they are predominantly or completely vertical type in variety. I have to check the measurements of your tent tomorrow, but I’m curious if it would be lengthy in the horizontal or vertical form? I have a lot of horizontal space (the length of the bar basically which was built as a full one) and not a lot of vertical space to work with. I never know which measurement is for height, so do you happen to know if it’s the 24 or 36? Also if I end up checking after you answer I hope it would be alright to ask for a photo or two before buying. I don’t doubt it’s a steal, just want to see what I need to buy in addition to make it functional which is mainly because I have no familiarity with what to expect there.24 wide, 24 deep, 36 high. You could theoretically turn it on it's side. It would just require you turn it the correct side so you could open but it could work that way. I believe I also have some small cable tie downs I will throw in. Good for hanging lights inside the tent. I will dig it out and take some pics in the next day or so. I have doctor appointments Thursday and Friday which will eat up a lot of time since they are in Seattle and I am 30 miles or so south. No problem in asking questions. I do not mind. Small shelves available on Amazon or you can build your own to fit inside. I have 3 and 4 rack shelves in mine that work great.
I also admit to a severe lack of knowledge about shipping and stuff between people, so did you mean that I pay 35-40 and that’s it or that plus shipping? I just need to know how much money to set aside so if it will fit I’m prepared for if you do end up finding it. Also would probably have to do PayPal or something like that. Just wanted to ask those few things and let you know what you’re working with on my end. If there’s any problems I can always try to address that. It really is a super generous offer so no matter what I want to thank you for making it.
And if it seems the tent isn't a good fit you could consider simply mounting lights directly beneath the drop-ceiling over the bar. As for humidity levels...those can be worked with humidity domes and plastic sheeting strategically hung from the edges of the drop-ceiling.

Seems with 24-inches to work with, vertical space might be a little tight in the tent. If she went with flat panel lights I can see that she'd have room for a single shelf which would create two levels...the bar top and the shelf. Wouldn't more than one shelf be too many? Maybe just a section of closet shelving sitting on a couple of supports at the ends? When you're talking about a six-inch tall pot and four-inch tall plant the actual plant/pot height starts eating up the height...especially if you need some adjustment room for the light's height. Jade, measure your bar's width to be sure you have 24+ inches for the tent to sit on...you might as well measure the height between the bar top and whatever is above it. It would work better vertically, but they work turned on the side, too. Andy's throwing a good deal out there to you, just do some homework and make sure it'll fit the space that you have available and that you can utilize it like you would want to.
As for the dropped down ceiling over the bar... Possibly future cabinets were planned for the dropped down area. Or, possibly for what you said...pictures, decorations, or maybe for lights to be mounted beneath it to illuminate the bar top. The old trailer that I have my plants in has a bar in the "great room" that divides the kitchen area from the living room area. It has cabinets above the bar which takes up a lot of the vertical space but I'm not sure how much. Get that measurement from bar to ceiling...sometimes our eyeballing things can be off a bit.
I can't remember... Are you wanting to grow *all* of your plants indoors 24/7/365? Or, is this just for germination and seedling/leaf-cutting propagation?
