Not sure what the difference between a hydro and soil tent is, maybe there are more places to run wires or tubes through (???).

As for the size of the tent, you have to figure that growing from seed you will need at least 15L containers, preferably 20L to finish your plants in. If you want to go the clone route you can get away with smaller containers, but you will need a separate veg area for the mother plant and clones where you can keep the light on at least 16 hours a day. That way you can keep a mother for a long time. So you will need to find the containers first and measure them to see how many can fit in the tent. Square containers work better to make the most out of the space. With all that said, I think the 80 x 80 will be plenty big enough. The smaller one might be OK also, but 140 is pretty low and will be a pain to maintain such a low canopy.

For vegging regular seeds, you can go from 4 to 8 weeks depending on how much room and what strain. In that time frame you can also take clones and then flower the mothers. Then while the mothers are flowering you can veg the clones, then repeat once you harvest the mothers. That way you can harvest every 2 months or so. But that means two grow areas and might be a bit much for you. You can always just buy seeds and grow start to finish from them, figuring about 4 months in between harvests.

Many options to think about! :jointsmile:
