Hi all,
I'm moving away from my current grow setup (BC Northern Lights Producer) to an Aquamist setup, and I want to purchase a grow tent and light. Since I'm only going to be doing one Aquamist setup (2' x 4' 20 gal reservoir), I figured I would only need a 2' x 4' Grow Tent (I'm looking at the Growlabs GL80L). Would there be any advantage to getting the 4' x 4', other than the fact I would have enough room to place another Aquamist, if desired? I have a 10' x 10' room, so space is not an issue but I'm not planning on having more than one Aquamist Setup, so I don't see the need to get a larger tent. If there's any benefit to having a 4 x 4 tent, please let me know.
All my research tells me 1000W HPS is what I should be using for a single 2' x 4' area, but other people have talked about using a 600W. I'm planning on growing probably 8 sites in the Aquamist, so I wasn't sure if 1000W would be unnecessary and I could go with a 600W. I figured on getting a Lumatek ballast and Magnum XXXL Reflector with a 1000W HPS bulb.
With all that said, is my thinking of getting a 1000W HPS setup and a 2' x 4' grow tent setup OK, or should I think about other options?
Thanks a bunch!
