new grow going to start just need advice

[easygrow]

hey , im am going to start growing in my shed , its is insulated has air vents already in so air can pass threw the shed and air it .

i want to grow in a grow ten preferabley 60 x 60 x100 or 80 x 80 x 160

i was wondering what sort of lighting i could use are two 150watt lights better to stop heat spot ? i want to grow 4 plants as cheaply as possible but also still get a good smoke :jointsmile:

if any one has any ideas or can help on what sort of set up i could use to grow would be very helpful


Thanks Easy .:rasta:

Are the measurements of the tents in centimeters or inches?

[easygrow]

oh sorry mate they are in cm ,

Yeah you should be fine with the two 150w in the smaller tent, but I would run a 400w in the larger one. :hippy:

ok mate what sort of set up would you use in the smaller tent, as in what 150 watt lamps would you use what other stuff would i have to buy to make four plants grow well but as cheaply as possible ? thanks easy

For 4 decent sized plants I would go with the larger tent. Use a 400w MH for veg and a 400w HPS for flower. So I would recommend getting a switchable digital ballast. For the fixture, I would use an enclosed air cooled hood(or even a cool tube would work).
For the ventilation a 4" exhaust fan with a passive intake. Two smaller oscillating fans inside to move the air around and promote stronger stems.
This setup should produce some nice buds for you. :jointsmile:

I know that this seems expensive, but we are talking about having a good controlled environment. This is very important.
There are ways to start cheaper, but I think you will find out that over time you will spend more trying to dial in your growing environment if you start cheap.
In my opinion spend a little extra now to save you some later.

If you do run the smaller tent, a 250w digital ballast should do fine. The rest stays the same.

Welcome to the boards, and happy growing. :hippy:
