OddNut Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Get yourself bigger with the light, bet a 250w hps would be fine if you have that head space more bud and most likely give a lot better flowers then the 100w also probably cheaper. saying that I’ve never used led so I might be wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donkeybong Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Here’s my opinion of limited experience...... The thing for me is, it’s a very small foot print with a lot of height. IMO, split into 2 levels with 120w of LEDs feeding 2 plants on each level would be perfect. A single plant in that space is going to look quite lost and if you do use the height it’s gonna be a struggle to get the light penetration whilst using the footprint to its maximum. You say you don’t smoke a lot but TBH when it’s cheaper it goes quicker and you can always just stop growing for a bit until your supply dwindles. Im using a 40x40x120 tent with a shelf midway, 1 plant per level with 60w of quantum board each, I’m not using all the space of the footprint but it’s not really big enough for 2 plants per level either. Short and bushy = Tight dense nugs using the footprint to its max to get the light hitting evenly Thin and Tall = more popcorn than your local odeon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi mate, The tent has shelves that are removable, so i can always blank a section of the tent off. Tent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora Ruderalis Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I do 30cm x30 cm. Its possible. I also have lots of headroom. 4" fan themostatically controlled. 150w hps. Lots of probes. Mountain air filter. 15cm square pots. 30cm high. I do a minimum of four plants per sq ft. I prefer a big growroom in miniature. As opposed to a small piece of a big grow room. Its economy of scale really. Your space is more than ample. Kit it out right. Spend bulk of the budget on filter and air. Lights are useless without the air. Filter, controller, fan. Then a lamp. Small spaces often benefit from more than one plant is my mantra. But i could be wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distracted Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Carbon filter in the loft is fine, just blow into and mount the fan directly on it, keeps the noise remote and the whole run in negative pressure until cleaning 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wanna be a Debbie Downer but its small for the space 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't wanna be a Debbie Downer but its small for the space As this is my first ever grow obviously I don't know much about it all but why would the light be too small if its hanging just 30cm above the plant? They state it's good for 60cm x 60cm flowering. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for just one plant it should be fine at 3000-4000k for veg and flower 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 His cupboard is 65cm wide not 120cm the migro will do fine 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budjam Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 Hi all Thanks for the replies. I can still change what light I get yes but I think when I initially looked at the DIYleds for sale on this site they would have been too long for my tent / cupboard? 60cm wide.. Unless I was completely looking at the wrong thing? What is the latest and greatest ones he sells? Bit of a minefield in there for noobs.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the QB that he has on offer - Quantum Board v2 135w - it’s only 34cm wide. I grow in a 40x40 tent so it’s perfect for me. Latest tech. He can also assemble for you if you put a note on checkout 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash_cannon Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 @budjam run two or three on this bad boy in your space easily https://www.diyleduk.co.uk/product-page/135w-quantum-board-v2-kit-dimmable ask @diyleduk to assemble (checkout notes) what seeds are you going for? Mephisto would be good small UK autos for your space - pick a nice indica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flash_cannon Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I think @diyleduk will tell you that COB is older technology than QB’s - possibly not as bright leds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
