Hello all. Here is my setup
2 x 3 x 4.5 Tent
165cfm Filter
4in scrubber
184 total cfl watts from 8 bulbs
2 48watt t5 bulbs (left them in there after germination and early veg)
Temps are around 78 - 82
2 plants in 3 gal smart pots (some version of girl scout cookies and MK Ultra)
I just flipped them to 12/12. I was waiting until I could get my Hps but they are getting too big. This grow started in august. First grow for me. I understand that I will not get the quality, nug size or yield that I would get using an hps bulb. But I also understand that I can get some descent quality using cfls.
Is 184 watts from cfls and 96 watts from t5s sufficient for a 2 x 3 x 4.5 tent? My one worry about adding more bulbs or watts is temperature control. I probably skimped too much on the fan. 165cfms through a scrubber is barely holding at 80. I can get the outside temps around the tent lower, but that is my last option outside of getting a new fan)
thanks
