1st grow with secret jardin

hi, im new to this website and new to growing, i just bought a secret jardin and got a 250 W metal halide light which i will switch to a sodium when flowering starts, the grow tent is small, only 60 x 60 cm (24 x 24 inch) base and 140 cm (55 inch) high, im using soil, at the moment i got 2 auto red dwarf seedlings in it, but was wondering if anyone could give me advice, the plants have to be short which is a shame as i have wonder woman seeds which i wanted to try after, but if anyone has any usefull advice on how many plants they think i can grow and anything else in general that would be great, thanks

Well, I would not go more than 4 plants on a 250w, Flowering your plants as soon as possable should help keep them down, also have you thought about LST`ing (Low Stress Training) your plants to keep them short?

how do i LST them? and what kinda height can i switch to 12/12, the red dwarf i got going now are autoflower so they not a problem but they dont yeild much and i want to put 1 Wonder Woman in there next time and make it not much bigger than a couple of feet tall

how about topping them and then topping them again?

Well, 1st you dont want to top if using LST, you want only 1 main cola.

Search the forums for LST Tutorials, Read this :

Keeps any plant half hight by bending the roof around in a circle while growing to save height.

If you find this helpfull +Rep

Using a 30 X 30 closet with a 2' X 2' table. Had a 250 MH/HPS in there until I put the LED in today.
Worked fine. Some heat issues in the summer though. That's why I'm trying LED.

How many plants?
I've run 9 in converted 1 1/2 true gallon waste baskets that were modified for use. They were FIMed, and Fimed again and grown straight up.

Can run 2 with heavy FIM, LST, and defoliated to the max. if you let it run and train in veg.

Comfortably I like 4,, 3 is even better.
All boils down to the style you want to use. Anything over 2' heigth with heavy cover you'll be wanting to add a CFL or 2 down low at pot level.

Pictures of the setup are in the beginning of my "personal test grow" at the bottom.
You biggest probs will be odor and heat. When you go for fans / filters, do youself a favor. Go overkill with a big filter and a real blower combo with a speed controler. You'll save yourself a lot of grief if you do.

Well wonder woman will grow big so i think il top it as it sounds easier, i cant get pics on here through my phone which is annoying

Well im not worrying about heat as its england here and i my home stays quite cool even in summer, odors not too much of a problem either, i got a negative ion air purifier, my plants dont smells yet as they just seedlings right now
