I was about to clean up the fridge for another winter grow but im undecided if I should spend a little cash and purchase a complete tent setup. The spot ive got in mind is a little small so im thinking of 120cm X 120cm X 200cm (47.2 inches x 47.2 inches X 78.7 inches if google is correct..lol) with a 600w.

Heres the kit if anyone is interested http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262932127003?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=561934861800&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT for $419 aussie

The tent ( GroCell) seems to have a few OK reviews (not many reviews at all to be honest), and I understand its not a Gorilla. Just got back from a cruise and lost a good work contract this week so i dont want to invest to much.

My questions are..is a 600w good enough for this size and would i get 4 or 5 plants in?

Apart from a floor pan for spillage what else (if any) would i need to purchase? I have additional timers, PH and water meters..humidity and temp gauges and a small - medium circulating fan.


Should i be concerned about anything in the kit?

Thanks in advance.


*Edit..it comes with a floor tray.

I started with a tent the same dimensions and a 600w, the edges of the tent won't get the best light but it will work just fine. You could scrog one plant to fill that space or put 25 small ones sea of green style, all depends how long you veg them. The only thing with those kits is usually lots of cheaper parts get thrown in to make it appealing as far as cost to the consumer. From what I've seen usually the ballast in those kits is where they skimp the most so be careful.

Those eBay tents are perfect. I don't have to spend 800$ on a gorilla tent. When u get it do a light test. Have someone seal it up while you're inside it and make sure no light leaks. If minor light does leak just use duct tape( though it shouldn't ) anyways you will have to get some sort of outtake fan. eBay fans work fine. If you don't get the fan it will be impossible to keep the humidity and temp right. As long as you do this you will be fine. The biggest problem I run into with tents is temp. Have a oscillating fan going all times and a good ventilation and you'll be golden !
