      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.

                  Lmfao, if I could put this stuff in its own dedicated room I would.

                  It’s a means to an end, but I don’t expect someone with your grasp on things to be able to comprehend that.

                  Your question was easy, I answered it, but you apparently didn’t like the answer. It’s great that you found someone else to explain to you what you could have easily educated yourself on with a 5 second google trip.

                    ? What’s up with the aggressiveness level

                    What about finding a dedicated room to lay back in? Smoke some of that tent weed in it, come back chilled out

                    I can see that you think you answered the question

                    Also hey you’re not forced to answer anything

                    You should however understand that you’re going to leave people perplexed when the question is “why is a tennis ball yellow” and you reply “to play tennis”

                    And considering that it took you 6 posts to give such a reply I feel like you should 1) refrain from being mean to anyone and 2) avoid claiming to have a higher grasp of anything compared to anyone

                    But that’s just my personal tip to you
