Second Grow - Garage tent setup advice

[Brothercrow73]

Hey,

Second grow is about to start. I changed from a 315W HPS to 305w MARS Hydro TSW 2000. I have a 3X3X6 tent with carbon filter and a couple of fans. I’m did 4 reg photoperiods last time and filled the tent so this time I’m still only going to do 4 Autos- Cookies and Cream. plan on using ProMix HP
in 5 Gal fabric pots and using 1/4 strength of Fox Farm nutrients with a SCROG i built for the tent. Any advice or comments are appreciated!!

I started with that same setup. (tent and light) I think 4 autos in there would fill it up nicely...without being too much. All depends on the strain though. 5 gal pots will cover the entire footprint of the tent.

This is what it'll look like... (Old pic, but you get the idea. Looking back, there is a lot wrong in this pic.)

So what’s wrong with it

Absolutely nothing with the lights or tent. I started small to get my feet wet and figure some tings out. Check the link in my sig to see my setup now.

Looking back:

I'd have bought a Cloudline T4 instead of the Vivosun vent fan. (I ended up buying one later to upgrade, so the vivosun was a waste of money.)
I had the sidewalls of the fabric pots too high. (I later cut them down...should have used more medium)
That PH soil meter is garbage. (bought the good digital one)
I should have had domes over the seedlings for the first 4-5 days. (This is how I do all my plants now)
