Hey there

I’m wanting to start growing, iv been reading a lot for tips & tricks of the trade & iv decided on a 2m x 2m x 2m jungle room tent with 2 1800w COB LED panels. How many plants would I be able to feasibly grow in a tent this size & what size pots are the best to go with?

I would grow 4 plants per 1m2 in 15-18 ltr pots as long as you have access to all sides of the tent.
But you could grow up to 9 plants in 11 ltr pots per 1m2 or 16 plants in 6.5ltr pots.

I could complicate the situation with SOG or Scrogs but keep it simple for your first grow.
If your trying to light up 2m x 2m make sure your lights are as actually enough and not just named 1800w.

Cool, ok, you wont be able to light up 2m x 2m with those lights I'm afraid.
Go for 1m2 per light and reinvest once you have your first crop.
I use 720w of quality cobs (which epistar are not) in a 4x4 and 570w of Quantum boards in another 4x4. Both are pretty efficient and that's the point of LEDs. Which is why I asked about yours, there are a ton of cheap ones on the market since Cobs became popular. :cry:
