Ive got a tent same height but 10cm wider & its a decent size. Thats perfect for 4 plants m8. Id get a 6inch RVK tho for extraction & put it on a SMSCOM Hybrid fan controller if you can stretch the budget, that will help control your environment dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unity Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I spent 150 on a pair of mine, you'd prob get one for about 80. It's the Lumii digita. I started a thread on here asking for advice on a decent one, and received several indications of the same model. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedwarUrgain Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Regarding pots for seedlings, Just found 100x 0.5ltr fabric pots on fleabay for a whopping £1.79. This might be a dumb question, but are fabric pots ok for seedlings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unity Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 be fine, for a seedling a pot's a pot - so long as it has drainage. they won't be in them long enough to worry about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unity Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 (edited) that is insanely cheap tho Edit: I get my pots from b&q, they are pretty cheap, and reasonable.

unity Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 i think i found them...they look like little white net pots? if the same removal could prove tricky, check how much tiny plastic ones will set you back from your local garden shop, i'm assuming you don't need 100 awesum gerbils btw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right with that area you may face some heat issue from the 600w hps. My advice as others have said would be 1- A dimmable ballast. Typically can be dimmed to 250-400-600w and 600sl (super lumen 10% more so 660w) 2- A cooltube or air cooled hood. You've got your extraction set up so you could expel more heat with those type of reflectors. The best choice would be both but one would do the job What size extractor are you using mate? All the best Mark.. Edited October 30, 2018 by Dinafem-Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H + H2O Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I use those white pouches to start off in, they root though them just fine no transplant required. A 250/400/600/660 switchable hps light can be got for just over £80. I used one in the same size of tent as you intend to and switching through different growth stages is invaluable imo. Good luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
