I wouldn't recommend a 1000w light. That's ~111 w/ft^2, way more than your plants need. And you have to deal with heat, which will be overwhelming in a 3x3 space with height restrictions. I would get a 600w light for that space.Heat: With the tent being 3x3 and very short in height as well, would 1000w still be possible?
I realize heat will be a big issue, so I would use cooled hood and the stanley blower.
I cannot, have one growing from seed but I haven't put it into flowering. But I use OnaGel which comes in a 1 gallon bucket. Does a fantastic job and should be more than enough for a 3x3 tent. Smells like laundry exhaust. ()Odor: Can anyone verify/vouch for the low odor properties of Northern Lights?
If odor becomes an issue, I will build a scrubber.
Yes and they will work really well. I have a 2x2 200w 8 bulb CFL setup and I use it to get plants large before they go into the 1000w tent. I use smaller CFLs for cloning and early stages.Veg Room Lighting: The small chamber on the top of the tent can be used for mother/clone. Will flouros work for mother/cloning?
I will also veg the plants as needed in the tent before flowering.
I don't know what phenotype of NL you have, but it really depends on how branchy they are. For SOG, If they branch a lot, you'll have to lollipop them (cut off all lower branches) and that can be a pain. Personally, I like the idea of a SCRoG in this space. You could fit 1 or 2, 5-8 gallon plants in there and make a very nice canopy. Otherwise, 4 trained, 3gallon plants would be a nice option as well for that space.SCROG or SOG: Which is the most likely method for highest yield?
I have seen great results for both in small spaces, but wonder if the extra work for SCROG is justified.
I would say soil is far more forgiving than hydro in most cases, but I would also say there is no real general recommendation. It's all about how much time you want to dedicate to the task. If you want to do a hybrid, try looking up Hempy buckets, I've been using them with great results. Also, hydro won't increase yield until you've got everything dialed in for the strain you are growing. Pick what you are most interested in, gain some experience, and the yield will follow.Hydro or Soil: Is hydro recommended on my first try? Or should I stick to soil/perlite on my first run? Will hydro most likely increase yield?
I am considering these 2 configurations: DWC Bubbler, or perlite in juggs; check the links:
You're using one of those blowers you linked to? Overkill is always good but that's overmurder...
Just remember..when renting...expect the unexpected. Assume that there will be a leak or something..or that the landlord will let himself in one day when you're not home for WHATEVER reason... Not trying to scare you...just be prepared.
i have a 3x3 tent with a 1k light. also 2, 4 inch blowers 165cfm each. put ur light on at night to pull in cooler air. and a 12 inch osolating fan. no heat issues just space issues...lol
