tent and light question

K guys I want to get a smaller tent for veg so I can have a nice rotation ...my question is how good is hydrofarm 125watt cfl setup and how is this tent http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-x32-x63-...0523299?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item20e4611da3

thanks in advance

to me that tent is to small . how many plants are you doing ? I strongly suggest a t5 set up for lighting . some thing like this . these lights are the best for florescent . http://www.ebay.com/itm/Deformable-...8974864?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item2c802cb610 and it will fit that small tent perfect . keep in mind you might have to get a small vent fan to vent the heat even with cfl . also keep in mind you don't need to keep veg plants total dark . when the lights are out , if you do 18/6 or just do 24/7 mabe you don't need a tent I don't know your set up . but I have looked at a lot of tents . my opinion a tent is a tent . looks ok to me hydrofarm makes good things

I live in a duplex and have kids....I have a 4x4 tent already ...., also have fan set up also , I want to run an 8 to 10 plant rotation

Yep, that is what I do. I have a 32" square x 60" high tent. It has a 177cfm axial fan on top, a 250 CFL light, and pulls fog from a fog tub, outside of it, to keep the RH around 60%. (very dry here.) Still that tent can get hot, so I have it set so it can pull from an A/C if needed, also.

How good is not the question. How good are you? It is an art that take practice, especially in rotation. The 6 week bloomers drink water like crazy, The clones drown if I am not careful to be very stingy with their water.

Such fun, but better equipment, like in golf, doesn't make you a better golfer.

Golfing and growing are skills for the use of any equipment. I spend years on the courses, with just a putter and a 5 iron to learn the skill.

Defiantly go with a larger tent, and HO T5 lighting for veg. Rotation does take some practice, I always have plants in veg, some flowering and some ready for harvest. The trick is to keep notes on what stage everything is in.
