Hey - The last few runs I have done have been very large - and now I want to set up a small garden at home.
I am thinking of getting a 1mx1mx2m tent with wilma 4pot drip system. I will use Canna nutes as I know them well, and will work this in the small cubes and sit them in teh pepples with a tiny amount of Vermiculite to hold a bit of water.

I will be growing Euforia as I have access to cuttings from a good reliable mother.
7/8 weeks, 17-20% THC and generally goes one stem with a hugh Colas.

I would like a 600w light, but have been advised a 400w - anyone know why??

Right - for this size set up:- (I am putting my asumtions in brackets)
How long to run the water (To come on 20 minutes before light and keep on for 70% of light hours)

Heat - 70-100
Humidity - 25-35 whilst flowering
EC - 1600-2000ppm whilst flowering
PH - 5.6-5.8

Thik that covedrs the basics - any other hints to get this baby set up good please let me know

Thanks

so let me get this right.....

you have had a few big runs. and now you want to setup a home rig.

you don't know why someone told you to use a 400W instead of a 600W light.

you make no mention of cooling. wonder if this could be a concern?

What type and how big were your first runs ?

What were your harvest yields ?

Be carefull there are bad tents out there now and 100 heat ? Let me know how it goes.

The size of the tent is why you only need 400 but I would cooltube a 600. That's just me though.
