NEW 5x5 tent

[shmittyb]

Hey waddup ! so this is all still new to me . i’m currently in a 2x4 tent with a few autos running . but i’m about to move more space and i wanna pull the plug on a 5x5 i know it’s big and a lot more space . but it’s for personal use for me and the lady and i wanna have enough to be able to give out .

ultimately i’m trying to find the best light for a 5x5 tent with the best coverage area for veg and flower ! i wanna get more into the perpetual harvest is that what it’s called ?! any help is great

What have you used in the past LED or HPS/MH/CMH? What's your budget?

Where will it be located? On it's own, in a lung room, basement?

The "best" light for a 5x5 is probably a HlG scorpion $1300

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LYZLTV5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_RN2KWHCGCPG0J5C0ME04?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Next could be the Mars FC6500 $1000

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BLFVQZB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_1JKPREBR7Z2QNQNDJ7G7

Or you could save a little money and buy
A SF4000 (will light a 4x4, not necessarily a 5x5) $600

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TXFR69M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_1YDVMJ8YNEVB2XNGS0HG

Or you could buy a 1000w HID for $200. But you will spend more on electricity + bulbs in two years to make up the difference in cost

Ensure you insulate the floor under your tent...gotta keep their toes warm.

If you are in a basement I hope you have tall ceilings. Good luck on your quest!

Above my comment you quoted, I also highlighted some of the best lights I would reccomend if you missed it.
Here is where that chart is from, it is at 6:30

Just buy some ridged 1/2"- 3/4" pieces of 4x8 foam panels from the hardware store and put your plants or entire tent ontop of that
