Hello everyone! First of all i'm sorry if my english is bad. It's illegal to grow cannabis in turkey, even i'm using vpn to connect this website. I read forum actually for a long time and learned many things so thank you very much from now. I need comments about a grow tent setup. It will be my first grow and after some researches i decided to create my grow build as;

1.5 meter x 1,5 meter grow tent
1500w king plus led
9 pieces of 3 gallon pots.
Carbon filter, fans
Biobizz ph up and down. ( 6.5 ph i will try to set)
Biobizz allmix
And all other things which is needed ( i have a long list )

I need to harvest at least 500gr dry yield.
Do you think it's possible?
And i will grow autoflower big nugs fast from seedsman.com

I watched and read already hundreds of hours to make it better and still researching.
Thanks a lot again for your helps. I hope i can get my mission with 500 gr of dry weight :)

I’d agree, 800-1000 watts in a 4.5x4.5 tent should have a solid shot at pulling 2lbs from a number of strains imo. As for those crazy yielders I’m not sure I’ll let Renfro take that :)

You need a proper light to flower that space.
The 1500w name is just the number of diodes multiplied by the max wattage of each, it doesn't mean anything.
Its actual power is 260w , it will veg good in a 3x3ft , slower in a 4x4, bit too small to cover a 5x5 (1.5m x 1.5m)
When it comes to flower it might light up 2x4 at the most, more like 2x3ft. If you stick to that footprint your buds should be reasonable-good.
If you try and flower your whole space you will end up with stretched plants and airy buds that don't develop properly.

Bottom line is you need more light. A 1000w HPS would be the cheapest option, along with an air cooled hood.
Otherwise you need at least two more of those lights, possibly 3 more, by that time your already spending a massive chunk more cash than you intended and you may as well learn to build a far better light for less money.

Also might be worth looking at 630w cmh lights, though im not sure it would fully light a 1.5x1.5m , it will surely be far cheaper and better than buying 4 of those LEDs.

If you stick with just what you have now then if your lucky you might pull 140-280g, though its difficult to say since autos will do what they want.
Just remember stick to the 60cm x 120cm footprint, or you will have a lot of crap you cant get rid of.

Thanks a lot for your comments and i understand that light should be better but when i have more electricity use police will knock my door for sure because in turkey if you use more then 1000 watts in your home for 18/6 schedule electric bill comes higher than normal so they are investigating what is happening in your home. That's why i already bought this led to keep myself away from jail for 2 years :) i can buy and install one more of this light or equal to it but 1000w hps? Can't do that :)

Understandable.

Consider this then, grow photo period plants and not autos.
That way you have your veg period which requires less light but longer hours, 18/6.
When you switch to flower (12./12) increase your lighting, so you will be using more power but less hours of light.
Rather than running 18/6 for the whole period and been drastically under lit.

You still need more light if you want to fill more than 2ft x 4ft of your 5x5 space. But 4x4 is better than nothing and you can still pull plenty out of there.

With that king plus LED look into a strain called Mimosa. I have their breeder cut and it makes immense logs. PLUS it's a strain that likes the lower light levels. Some strains want a LOT of light, like Gorilla Glue for example. The mimosa prefers a little less light. The cut I had definitely had indica characteristics, it will need some defoliation just don't get crazy with it only take big fans that are blocking buds, it gets purple calyxes in later flower. Smoke is pretty fire too. ;)

Ok i will search for that. Also one more thing. Before i could buy from dinafem and few more websites but they are not shipping to turkey now. After some research i understand i can only buy from seedsman so.. let's stay at 3x3 closet what about it? I didn't buy grow tent yet. Only light came after 10 days with cargo so i'm open to advises. Sorry again for bad english :)

If you're planning to put a tent in your 3x3 closet, just make sure all the dimensions fit accordingly. Otherwise, a 48"x48"x72" (4'x4'x6') grow tent would work* well for 4 - 6 plants.
If you're dead set on using the King Plus, at least buy another one and hang them side by side. You can get pretty good results with that set up.

Just remember you will also need room for ventilation (extractor fan, carbon filter) and oscillating fans inside the tent. This is a MUST for quality bud, and to keep everything under wraps.

Best of luck!
Cheers
