Being rectangular u can do a run with one light and plug in the second 135 with ur profits and be killin it
Yeah I need to save the money first, I can afford a single qb right now. I was going to buy it soon and toss it in my 2x2 just let the vipar sit a bit.
Then order a tent, toss the qb in there and soon after get another qb. I'm sure 1x 135w qb won't be enough for a 4x2 area.

If you're that broke, just use a T5 fixture. You'll get far better results with it than you will the half-assed LED's.

I have a 2tube 2' HO t5 fixture with two 24w 6500k bulbs in them but I use that for my seedling/early veg plants.
If I spend any money on lights it's going towards the lights I want. I can afford them but I guess the absolute need for them isn't urgent. I only grow 2-3 plants max at a time right now anyways. I need something more taller than 48" more than anything, which is why I'm upgrading to a 4x2 tent. I'll probably buy a light in two weeks when this fastberry harvests, then the tent the week after and another light the week after that, then get 4-8 plants going at a time between both tents and keep it going perpetual.

Yea a couple, maybe 3, 135s will do the trick in a 2x4, or u could go with 2 260s and light that bitch up like the 4th of july

Then go back to the T5's. You should never have bought that piece of shit Viaspectra if you already had a good T5 fixture.

If you're going to improve and can afford it, do so. All you did was thrown money in the fire place and burn it.

You're NOT going to do 4 to 8 plants in a 4 x 2 if you have even the first clue what you're doing. Two plants will completely fill that little thing.

If you're not getting between 4 and 6 ounces PER PLANT MINIMUM, then you're growing too many plants without enough light.

I had the viparspectra first after running into problems with seedlings, I was recommended the t5 after I already had it. It's only 48w... it works good for the first 4 weeks for seedling/veg plants then I put them into the LED tent because they seem to get a little too big for two small lights? I was told not to use T5's for flowering in general and if I did I would need more tubes/wattage. And they're good for veg because you can get them so close without burning it's good for tight node spacing and little stretch.

and no... I meant that many plants between the two tents and yes I could run 6-8 alone in the 4x2 if it was a sog in 1-2 gal pots. Seen it done easily by my buddy. But I intend to do 2-3 plants in the 4x2 and build a scrog. If I'm trying to get 4-6 oz per plant yeah it would be 2 plants maybe 3 plants TOPS filling a 4x2 and letting them veg for a long ass time but I don't plan on doing that exactly either not saying I would exactly. I just had different plans, but always willing to try out new methods. What I'm currently doing now I guess.

Wow.

That's about the most completely wrong shit I've ever seen.

I wish you nothing but the best of luck. You're definitely going to need it.

Lol alright buddy. A good friend of mine runs a 4x2 gorilla tent with his own built samsung led strips. Grows 8 plants in coco in I believe 2 gal pots as a sog. Not sure what seems impossible about that? Seen it with my own eyes and many other set ups just like it that people posted on here. I have two 3gal pots and one 2gal pot in my 2x2 and I've done four 2gal pots in my 2x2 lol. So I'm not getting what point you're trying to make by saying "That's about the money competely wrong shit I've ever seen" lol. Alright I suppose, but thanks anyway.
