So basically this plan is a few months out at least 3-4 I figure the more times I beat a dead horse and run through everything in my mind I may come close to only missing three or four things come Poppin day. Basic jist of this situation and I'm pretty set on the size . Looking to run a 2x4x6,7 one of the gorilla lites . The best way for me to start is the realistic goal . I don't know dick about maximizing yield and I'm not doing this for commerical or any money making reasons actually quite the opposite. Been partaking for sixteen or so years and I'm tired of getting middlemanned for inferior quality product while at decent prices ,I know the highest quality and best representation of the strains , medicinal value and quality of the flower is coming from the people who love the plants love pheno hunting love growing and knowing the plants . Bottom line I don't want inferior representations of what awesome strains are out there. Again realist the first 2-3 maybe 5 times I'l probably grow bootier flower than them but I'm a good learner and a great listener so anyway . The goal is to grow 2 plants close to optimally for personal use to get me out of the rec places and after a large inital investment to get setup hopefully save on flower a year .
So my plan is
Again I got bills to pay I'm not buying Chinese lights but I can't justify over 1000 on two plants just learning my girl will have my nuts in a sling haha.
2x4x6,7? Ggt lite
2 girls trained ( terribly at first as I learn I'm sure or maybe decently after having three months to study ) maybe scrog maybe just lst and topping gotta see what life is like for 2 in that area after pots and lights
Probably living in either regular parts or smart pots not positive yet
Medium ( I have it jammed out in my mind after research rather not debate )
Now as for ventilation half the world seems to think 4" inline something like a vivosun through flexi duct to a carbon scrubber living outside ( open to suggestions on not break the bank friendly brands ) the other half thinks 6 I think I don't know because I haven't done this before any experience ? Either way it'll have a controller for speed and be pulling passive intake through a unused flap until I'm less broke but yes controller so I don't get imploding tent
Now the monkey wrench expensive part bane of my existence lights are dumb expensive I get it . I don't want to go with hps or CFL I would rather have r the ease of a quantum board or Vero situation , don't wanna argue just where I'm at draw wise at the wall safety piece of mind for me
Now with 50sqft being optimal for flower and below that within reason for veg I would be at 400 watts now that's optimal which I get is a thing but given the profile of the tent 46" across inside to work with ? If I'm lucky unless I go full diy which really isn't my jam at this stage of the game and being it's to save money I'd prefer the ease a warranty gives . So my options at this point are the hlg 320xl which being 80 shy of the full 400 puts me at 40sq for flower at full on ( any experience with this ?) Or the 4vl from timber which at 42 and some odd inches across and 120 bucks more would be a tight fit both on the budget and the tent real estate .
So basically does any of this seem reasonable for my needs ? Should I just bite the bullet and get the full 400 watts pay almost 600 for a light have a warranty and a nice shiny package or try to wing it with the QB 320 and save 120 bucks and hope it does the trick and I don't end up buying the other 80 watts 2 weeks into flower anyway ?
Just struggling
