Advice for newbie setup 120x60x160 !

Hi everyone! Im new to growing, and Im looking for some advice on this setup I have imagined.

My space at the moment is somewhat limited, but what I want to acheive is having two seperate tents, one for veg and one for flowering. The reason for this is obviously so I can acheive a good "flow" in the production, moving from veg. to flower continiously, using clones. My grow medium will be soil, Im looking at 3-4 weeks veg stage, and 6-8 weeks flowering. Strains will vary, but I will start off with Big Bud and White Widow. Grow method Im thinking SCROG will be the best, but Im open to advice/other suggestions here.

• Secret Jardin tent 120x60x160 (cm) for flowering, I have not decided on a light for this tent, but Im looking at 400w or 600w, looking for some advice here. Is 600w too much for such a small space?
• Secret Jardin tent 60x60x160 (cm) for vegetation stage - now here Im looking at 250w - is that sufficient or do I need more power? Also, will there be significant odor from the veg. stage? Im thinking, do I need a filter for this tent aswell?
• Other equipment will of course be: fans, filter, refelctors for the lamps, thermostat, ph meter, nutrients etc.

What do you guys think about my plan? If I do everything right, what yields can I expect from this setup? I appreciate any feedback and advice that can help my first grow becoming a success..!

I don't know of ANY strain that finishes in 6 weeks and 8 weeks is pretty rare. Your flowering tent should be double the siz of your veg tent, because the plants will double in size during the first two-week stretch. I would go with 400w in the veg and either two 250w or a 600w in the flowering room. Are your tents already lined with reflective material like mylar? Definitely SCROG or SOG. Smell from the veg room wont be very strong, but some odor control like an ONA can may be neccessary. Make sure you are running plenty of ventilation. Good Luck!

Hello Rusty, and thank you for your response

6-8 weeks flowering is pretty normal from what I have read, but I could be wrong? What do you recommend?

Ideally my flowering tent should be a bit more spacious, yes, the width is doble (120cm) but length is the same (60cm) and that is all I have room for, unfortunatly.
What would be the ideal number of plants for my flowering space, with a 600w light? Im kind of worried about the heat though using 600w, as the height of the tent is only 160 cm. Yes, the tents are lined with reflective material

ya what strain are you growing that takes 6 weeks? Are you talking about 6 weeks from 12/12 flip or from flowering? and also are you going by the pro's in 100% perfect growing condition lab flowering date or going off someone who has growing said strain / clone before? I guess technically you can cut a plant down whenever you want.

i would scrog them no more then 4 plants in that size tent imo

Thinking about 12/12 flip from flowering. Im just referring to what I have read about growing in general, not a specific strain. I am aware that the time differs with the strain though.

Thanks! Thats what I was thinking myself, 3-4 plants max

4 good healthy plants in a SCROG or maybe 6 if you do little LST bushes. My plants take about a week longer than the seed bank says they take. The first few batches took almost 3 weeks longer, but Ive cut down that time through trial and error.

I would skip secret Jardin.
I have a 90 and I think it was overpriced for the quality.
Plastic corners and poorly fit ceiling cross bars to hang equipment.
I will go Gorilla next time I think.
Shop the tents don't be sold by SJ....
just my .02
happy growing!
