          The silver stuff is Oxford fabric covered in Mylar, it’s what the tent is made out of.

          The strings are from my light hangers.

            That wasn’t the question, but at least now we know we’re calling it a tent

            Yeah the question I was asking is what’s the tent for?

            When normal people grow tomatoes they don’t put their dirt in something fancy like mylar we go for clay pots, this is unusual to me

                But what is the mylar tent for? What does it do? Is it for water? Is it to hide it? Is it for heat? For humidity? You could’ve gone for a clay pot, does this provide benefits compared to a clay pot? Is it that you just followed a tutorial and use what they used? First item in the gardening section?

                It’s a simple question

                  The tent is to grow in, like a room or green house.

                  It’s a very weird “simple question”.

                  What would a clay pot help with…? You don’t grow cannabis in clay pots anyways.

                    Man that interaction weirded me out, I thought my question was easy but seeing how you took so long to get it and you’re still not really answering the point of it, I imagined I was totally off base or asking something that was so obvious that you couldn’t possibly imagine that this was my question

                    In the end I asked some gardening discord and lots of people were instantly quite helpful and got the question straight away and it turns out tents are not ~super great for much of anything and the reason people buy them is a lack of understanding and a recent marketing push in the us for them

                    For anyone that doesn’t know, google pictures of indoor weed plants, you probably won’t find OP’s setup with a tent.

                    So yeah I don’t know - I’m not even cherry picking there genuinely wasn’t a single result

                    So maybe you’re clueless and trying to hide it or something but in any case, super strange interaction.
