So, I've just started 2 white widows auto flower in a tent from spider farmer which is quite small but should allow me to apply some LST grown under a 100w LED provided with the tent. However winter is coming and I am worried about the cold temperatures. Looking at faily highs of 20 Celsius and lows of 7. I'm inside so the reality is that they probably won't drop that low, plus I am using the top room which has slanted windows causing somewhat of a greenhouse effect.
I now want to get other seeds! And obviously my current tent is not going to be enough. I'm thinking another 2 white widows (not sure about mixing strains, maybe someone can advise?)
Option 1:
Buy another tent and put the light in the existing tent making it 200w overall (the tent comes with all the necessary stuff needed, only soil and medium needed) purchase A 400w HPS and then run the top extraction into the LED powered tent causing hot air to enter (obviously this is where the question of mixing strains comes in) but the HPS would also heat up the tents. Then the final extraction would be from the second LED tent maybe using 2 carbon filters with the two fans and use only the ducting to cause a natural flow effect. Tent cost is 310 euros plus 90 euros for the HPS
OR
Buy a bigger spider or Mars hydro tent for 4/6 plants and either a HPS or one of their 300 or 450w Leads and use my current 100 placed around the tent as I will be using LST
I am edging for a bigger tent with a HPS but would like some thoughts.
As I already have all the gear I could just use the equipment and only need to buy the tent and light which would be around 150 for the bigger tent and around 200/300 for the light.
The main factor in this is heating! How much would a 300 or 450 watt LED heat my tent? Especially as I would be going into flower in the coldest month! Haha (lows of 9 Celsius highs of 18 in the day.
Would the greenhouse effect make much difference
Would Leads heat my tent up?
Would a higher position in the house where heat rises up the temp?
Thanks in advance!
