Thinking on how I want to do next grow and with what

[mikeyd4286]

I am goin to start some new plants for my next grow. Not sure what I'm goin with I do got a couple choices and a friend is bring me some his seeds he grew . I'm thinking my viparspectra p2000 and two my 100 wat lights and make a 4x6 maybe grow room in corner and line with aluminum foil or line end to end and have light 4ft long or do one hundreds next to the 200 to make like a square so I bit to figure and I'm thinking I want to go living soil or go dig some up from the timber and see wat to do with it . Options remarks insults donations and free bacon all welcome thanks a fat old man

Is 400w enough for such a big tent? And maybe some red light for flower?

I don't know it's enough I started with a hundred wat light got 5 them cause they was cheap then bought a vistaspectra p2000 and I've not been doin to bad I'm still on flowering with the p2000 and they looking good so I thought why not add two one hundred watt and make a room to grow couple in

A simple rule that actually works:

≈ 30–50 watts of actual LED power per square foot of canopy
(≈ 320–540 W per m²).

More detail:

30 W/ft² = enough for veg or low-intensity grows.

40–50 W/ft² = strong flowering intensity for most modern LEDs.

With high-efficiency LEDs (Samsung LM301 etc.), you can stay closer to 30–35 W/ft².

I could add 2 more 100 wat led and 2 80 wat boosters if I could afford the electric bill hahahha

How fast should it grow cause i planted this thing 9/20 so its small for its age right ? It's under a 100 wat light same kind I been using the last year . And I just transplanted it in the five gal . Started in solo then a 1 gal then in five I think the first month

i’d say a bit small for 2 months but not terrible really considering the pruning etc you been doing which is should back off some and let her grow,..

@mikeyd4286 - Post a picture in about a week so we can see how it's doing.

At the start u said u was going to line the room with foil do NOT do that get some panda film or Mylar way better or just paint the room flat white? foil will cause hot spots

AAAWWWWW LOOKIT HOW CUTE!
A little short and fat but Cyndi Lauper did ok!

 

[ForestSpirit]

The most important thing is to turn the foil inside out, because otherwise it might be too showy and no one would like that. In any case, find a fine mesh and try to make it look like mylar by running a cloth over the foil.
