What lights could u reccomend for 4 plants? With the lowest watt intake? Or maybe should I go for smaller tent for 2 plants?

You should shoot for 35 to 40 watts per sq ft of lighting with led for proper flower. A 2x2 with an 150 watt light or so

inches or centimeters? haha

guessing centimeters.

4 plants in 3 gallons for hydro, 4 plants in 5 gallons for soil.

480w true power draw high efficiency LED or a 600w HPS.

Could you post some budget compoments? Would help a lot
Budget? With LED, if its cheap. It don't work for crap. A gimmick.

When you read, "35 to 40 watts per sq ft of lighting with led for proper flower. A 2x2 with an 150 watt light or so". It's LED lingo meaning you're going to have to pay up for the real deal. Exspect a starting budget of $300USD. Then after time adding to it.

You can have a light rack that cost $500-$1000+. A dollar at a time.

Below is the basic COB pod. How many you need depends on how much light you need. Get two pods or build them. A small external dimmer driver. Aluminum metal from the store. Stuff to hang it.

Start at two pods. Get another two later and so on.
