Need help with lighting please.

Planning on getting this tent. http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Grow-Tent---Mother-Keeper-51.5-x-22.5-x-48.5---Silver-Lined.asp#. It's a 4.25' length X 2' width X 4' height. Right now i am stumped on how I'm going to light this tent. I dunno if I should go with a 400w 600w or even 1000w. I just don't know!

Any help or ideas appreciated. Thanks!

depends on how much electricity you want to pay for. but i think the 600 would do just fine.

i would use that tent for clones or a mother plant. its designed for a t-5 light or use a bunch of cfl's.

you may be able to get by with a 400 watt in there, but would probly be more hassle than its worth. if you wanted to put an HID in a tent, you should have went bigger.

what are your plans for the tent? veg., clones, flowering room. mother room, or a grow from start to finish?

you can make that for under $50 with pvc and panda film.

I'll be going from start to finish. i currently am running a dr60 and I realized i could easily grow in a tent of this height. I used LST and I have sooo much height in my tent that will never be used, but width on the other hand I need some of that .

I have been looking into that currently. Just gonna see what supplies my local hardware store has. Sometimes I just like convenience. My only issue I could see would be getting close to a full seal.
