hi fellow smokers & growers
Its my first grow Im going to do 2x (5 gallon pots) which will be a blackberry auto from fast buds & the 2fast2vast from heavyweight , I will be using a 3.6x3.6x72 grow tent with a 400 watts Mh/Hps and running a 4 inch exhaust fan 192cfm with a carbon filter and when it comes to air intake I will open the door of the grow room and get air from the air conditioned bedroom next to it.
My question is am i good to go? Thanks in advance

sounds good

I like you using the passive 'house air'

nice

keep an eye out for another 400w Mh/hps light

to double output next grow imo

good luck

Thanks for your reply!!
So would it be okay to go with a 600 watts hps/mh in this case?
Or I was thinking of using a mars hydro 600 watts but I was guessing thats not enough power/coverage because true power is about 280 watts.
And Also will i be able to grow 2 5 gallons pots in a 3x3 ?

Sounds good I prefer old school lights

all I can say about the Mars Hydro is the you tuber trashing one to a dumpster years back

600w does 4x4ftx 3ft high and one month veg real good

good luck

if you have the choice between a 400 or 600w hps/hid

go the bigger for bud but use the 400w for early veg

let the room temp be your guide

good luck

Alright I will do a 400watts from seedling and early veg then halfway in veg switch to the 600watts till harvest?
And 2 plants in 5 gallons is enough or should i add more plants in smaller pots what would u do in this setup bro?

I budget 1usg of soil each month the plant is with you

for you thats 5x2usg =10 us gallons

later you can use the 600w = the 400w should you wish?

look out for the old conversion bul;bs

rare these days just as precocious tho

cut the cost of soil by adding a lump 30% perlite to ease those roots

good luck
