Seems contradictory. Are you using crap lights? I veg in that range and I get monsters.

yea shit lights plus i got a 2x6x9 room right now in my bedroom closet nothing special this is only my 3rd grow they are getting better and better over the grows though i fix stuff over time. got better lights coming in with the tent so imma just run that. lots of heat/air exchange issues as well thus why i went with a tent as well easier for me to fix these issues so i can just prop up the tent next to the window. this is my 1st full indoor grow so im waiting to see what i get but thus far they are the nicest of my grows.

i just lack space got to keep the tent in my room as well otherwise i was looking at a 4x8 tent. have to deal with a half bath as well otherwise i could run 2 4x8 tents easily. im fine with 3 plants or less though size doesn't matter too much for me right now i get more buds then i use per harvest to easily last me a while. pretty much i just save up and barely smoke

A room with fresh white paint works wonders lol

yea im tired of white and painting though our house used to be white we just renovated the kitchen ourselves and entire living room and my parents bathroom. that was a rush job though my dad wanted to finish it incase my mom passed away and we did. he works as a contractor owns his own business well it was with my mom but he is the only worker in the business so pretty much i was forced into it since i was young that is how i know how to do a lot of house work if things need fixing. i know he knows how to do some electrical stuff and plumbing but he never showed me how.

Im in a 4 x 4 ive run 4 and up to 12. But u can do like 64 in a SOG. Depends on what ur doing.

im not planning to sog since i currently just buy seeds atm in the future i want to mess around with cloning and seeding

SOG when you plant a bunch of seeds and flip them to flower quick.

yea but eh cost of seed is the issue. if i seed my own no problem but currently just buying them and various strains i don't like to grow a lot of the same strain i want to grow different kinds just to try the different buds

yea if i get another tent it'll be on the cheaper side but i already bought the gorilla tent wasn't that bad tbh. i'll probably buy a cheaper tent if i plan to do perpetual grows again but had to stop that just due to lighting issues since the way i did it was unrealistic for quality and yield.

Oh yeah gorilla tent is always qualified but price is so high, i prefer the cheaper one marstent but quality is not too bad, i can buy 2 with same money. tent is not the key factor for growing, i think it the light play a more big role.

i just didn't want any light leaks. growing in a bedroom closet with huge light leaks strains my eyes. really doesn't help that my computer is up against the closet and my bed as well. at the time i had the money to spare as well but now that things have changed i do regret spending any money in a sense even on the lights.

I have an Apollo tent that's about 3 years old and one of the corner connectors rusted and broke through a few months ago. Just using it for a drying room now so it doesn't have to hold much weight. Picked up a Quictent to replace it and I think it's even nicer - picked them because they're one of the few tents I've seen that offer a 2x4 that's 84" tall and I've had problems with plants growing into the lights. Only downside I've seen to these cheapish tents is after taking down and setting back up the Apollo through a few moves it has developed some pinhole light leaks throughout.

nice. im still waiting for my fucking tent it's been almost 3 weeks i think since i ordered it. it's been 1 weeks since it said it "shipped" but when i track it then order number just says it's in Santa Rosa california for the past week in "pre shipment" if my lights get here before the tent that is kind of sad imo because the tent is supposed to get here first due to pre assembled/testing on the lights taking longer to ship it out.

idk wth this company i bought from is doing they are supposed to be a reliable company though gonna wait until friday and contact them about the tent. they told me the lights should ship out early this week.

Got to know that gorilla tent maybe in my future list once my mars tent broken one day lol .

Apollo & mars tent i know it made in China,but dont know if they're from same factory, since i heard that mars has their own factory and do OEM /OED for their buyers, that a girl from mars company told me, and the latest news i got that apollo not decide to sell their tents in future since their boss is more likely put his investments in other new industry, another reason i heard is that the costs to make tent get increased alot then in past few years, they thought they couldnt make money. so I was lucky never have a chance to work with Apollo

Do not buy products from China directly unless you hope to purchase bulk orders, the shipping is slow and sometimes when parcel arrivels damage, that costs money and time. if must purchase chinese item , it's better find a supplier who has overseas stock, that can help save a lot time, also it's good for return broken item and take care the warranty.

the company is located in texas. i just find it ironic how they send me a tracking number with 0 updates for an entire week. from past experiences they never do this unless the item is actually being shipped but it states "tracking sticker created; waiting to recieve item at USPS"

i am pretty much just banking on them shipping both the tent and light i ordered from them at the same day if not then something is wrong. to me that makes the most sense to do because of how i ordered the items which was 1-2 days apart. basically saves them a lot of time and money instead of shipping both items separately. to me that is the only logical reason why the tent is taking so long to get here with 0 updates as usually when they are driving packages from state to state they do give updates every check point thus why this one is fishy.

i don't buy directly from china either my bank often stops any transactions going through out of country and it gives me a headache because then i can't access any funds until i get it cleared up.

4x4 would be good for 3-5 plants, if I had my time back I would have went 5x5 tho, just for the extra space for fans and humidifiers and stuff

I would have done the same I have to say

how many plants? It would be decided by how big you want to grow the plant. During veg stage, it is normal to grow 9 small plants in 4x4. In flower, normally 4 plants is the choice. 1 to 2 for bigger plants. Hope this is helpful.

yea it seems like they will fit 4 plants in a 4x4 decently for the size i want. this next grow im going on 2 plants only might cut it down to 2 plants from now on trying to save up money to buy a new car soon so less money for growing in general. might have to start taking clones or seeding more plants or something.

I have same feelings as your experienced.

Ya i went with Apollo tents, i liked the look of the Gorillas and the Secret Jardins, but not at those prices.

Got mine for 180 cad shipped ...Gorillas were 400 i think

I spent the extra cash on lights and seeds lol

Click to expand...

I feel ya there, it was either get a secret jardin 4x4 or get two 3x3s off amazon and save 80$. So i ended up getting the 39x39 mars hydro 1680D mylar and the vivosun 600D mylar32x32. The vivosun was acctually higher wuality construction than the mars hydro and 90$ cheaper.
