hey all im pretty new here and have been reading a lot as it is my first grow,im still unsure about lighting as im not sure which to use but ill do more research soon! anyway the tent i bought is 2 metre (h) 1.2 metre (w) and 1.2 metre (d) im thinking of growing white widow and was wondering how many i could fit ?? would really appreciate yer thoughts guys thanks
It sounds like your tent is equal size to one of the ones I use. I can fit three in there comfortably if I plan to grow them in there from clone to harvest. I also use a 1000 watt setup in it. Some people might say thats a little over board. But I must say I have had awesome luck with it! Hope this helps! Good luck with your grow!!!
hey thanks a lot,you think white widow would be a good strain to start with?? my budget is flexible and am tempted to use similar to your watt usage,roughtly how much could i expect from a yirld grown properly with that much power and would it cause much heat problems?
I also have the same size tent, and I also use 1000w HPS. It's not overkill at all imo. It's perfect! As long as you have good 6" inline fan for ventilation and AC in the room heat is not a problem.
well thats confirmed it im gonna go with the 1000 watt,all the reading is v helpful but to hear what people are doing with the same space is great! just one question,would it drive my elec bill up like crazy? i was also unsure about sizes of fans etc so a 6" inline one it is,you reckon i should get same size carbon filter? thanks a lot guys,really glad with the help
You just have to match your carbon filter with your fans CFM rating. For example if you get a fan that has a 400 CFM rating, you have to get a carbon filter that matches. One that has a rating of like 350-450 CFM would be good, etc.
