Thank you for that information!! I have a small dedicated room for my veg. I have an all year 12/12 schedule so I’ve been growing outdoors, but want to go indoors to help control my environment.Start with a basic 2x4 Spider Farmer kit with their SP2000. It's a decent basic setup and will let you grow 2-3 plants from seed to harvest. That way you don't have a HUGE investment into a larger setup and aren't disappointed or find you have wasted money. Once you have a harvest under your belt, you have lots of choices. I started with a 2x4, then added a 4x4 with a pair of HLG lights. Perpetual grow. Use the 2x4 to veg and start plants, then rotate them every 2 weeks into the 4x4.
why not just get a 4x4 SF and spend less money?So I’m thinking about buying that 4x4x6.5 tent I mentioned earlier, but I’ll buy and import 2 TS-2000 as I can get those at a fair price.
would that be sufficient enough to grow quality bud for 6 plants that will be LST
oh i should of read further lol!You rock man, I can’t thank you enough! This will only be for flowering, 6 plants at a time, I won’t be staggering them. I will be growing multiple strains so the ability to adjust for different heights will be huge!
I’ll measure out my space but I’m sure I have enough room for a 5x5. I want to do this right the first time, so if I have to invest heavy on the equipment that is fine as long as I don’t have to repurchase for inadequate lighting and space.
I can get 2 TS2000 fairly reasonable, so I may invest in that and get those ordered.
Cheers!
Because where I’m at, those lights are not affordable….almost $2200 versus $500 for each TS2000why not just get a 4x4 SF and spend less money?
That is great man, and definitely what I needed to know. I definitely want ease of access to the plants because I have a horrible back and bending over for long periods isn’t very ideal. :)Just so you know though, I only suggest the 5x5 to give you a little breathing room. You can totally get 6 plants into a 4x4. It's just very tight. Right now I have 3 Gorrilla Zskittlez from Barney's and 3 Wedding Cake from Seedsman in soil, 5 gallon pots and it is TIGHT. I have them scroged with PVC and netting but it's still a mess in there, 3 weeks from harvest.
I'd build a closet out of cardboard before I pay that for a tent. 43 years growing and I still don't have one.Thank you for that information!! I have a small dedicated room for my veg.

I’m in Mexico so to get these tents and lights are very expensive because they have to be imported. So I also don’t want to start small just to have to upgrade to my 6 plant maximum as I will just have to fork out even more $$.
My veg room can start the 6 plants without issues but want a tent and sufficient light to flower them.
If I wanted to go to a store direct, this is what I could get for around $800 for a 4x4 setup, just not sure of the quality.
I was thinking about a DIY, but it’s only me and im not very crafty. I was thinking of the tent because it seems easier to control the environment. I haven’t done cardboard before, any issues with keeping humidity levels, or how the cardboard gets effected with moisture in the air? Seems like a future mold issue, but I’m not sure as I’ve never done it.I'd build a closet out of cardboard before I pay that for a tent.
Perfect!! Thank you for the recommendation! I do have a local store that sells the tents for about that price and look very similar! They do have a 5x5 in stock for around $160US. Think I will get that and order these lights.Ohuhu 48"x 48"x 80" Hydroponic Grow Tent with Observation Window & Tool Bag, Mylar Hydroponic Plant Growing Tent with Durable 600D Oxford Cover for Indoor Plant Growing, Gardening and Germination https://a.co/d/fOlO3jz
A cheap Amazon tent is fine. Just get the size you need. But some economical duct fans and filters. Don't splurge on anything except the light.
4x4 or 5x5 and 4x8 are my favorite sizes of tents.
I never used it - and I never paid $5,900 for a tent. I just use a closet or a room in the house. Just need a fan, a light and exhaust.I was thinking about a DIY, but it’s only me and im not very crafty. I was thinking of the tent because it seems easier to control the environment.
