Hi, I’m planning on starting my first ever grow I’m going to purchase 2 small tents, 0.6m x 0.6m x 1.4m. What other equipment would people recommend me to use. Lights? Fans? Etc...
Also how many plants should I grow in this small space I was thinking 2 or just 1 a tent to maximise the yield.
For a tent of that size, a 450w lamp would be plenty. You could get a fair yield with a 250-325w. As far as the number of plants, that depends on how you wish to grow them. (I'd try 4 plants) I would also say your limited to strains that would reach no taller than 120-130cm. Most of the posters on here think in the imperial system, not metric. Remember you will need headroom for the lights even at the highest you can hang them, and then you cannot let the plant tops get too close either.
You would need to go with about a 4" size intake duct, with a fan pulling air thru a duct going into a tent opening on the floor, and a 4" duct coming out, top or topside of tent, and a fan to pull it out, 4" inline fans work the best. And a small fan inside the tent that rotates to blow across the plants.
You could go with smaller pot size and grow 8 or 10 auto feminized plants in there, and just grow big center colas. There are lots of ways. The smaller the number of plants, the more work you will do training and messing with them. It's up to you.
You will most likely be growing plants that are 70-100% Indica with your height restrictions. If you are located in Europe, I can recommend a few good banks that I've used for years, haven't been disappointed. Led type lighting is by far the most energy efficient, just go by reviews on the lamps you research. :cool:
