ok guys please no flaming ok i only ever grown 1 plant under light it was greenhouse white widow under 125w cfl it went ok around 1oz dry weight so i was thinking wanna go bigger but nothink to complicated well what i wanted to know i got room for a dr120 i would only put a hps in there as i will have a seperate small veg room would you recommend a 400w hps or 600w?

i would probably try grow somethink from the white family to start with just my preference and i will keep a mother in veg so i will probably veg long ish like 6-8 weeks also how many palnt would you say i could safely fit in this tent at that size?

sorry guys and last question i got greenhouse seeds fem white widows but what others are your favourite white strain guy thanks in advance barnzy

I would roll the 600... a 120 is about 4x4 so you would be really stretching a 400 thin, especially if your wanting to veg for 6-8 weeks. A 400 is not going to penetrate very well... just my 2 cents... oh and spend the little extra and get a growlab 120 :) I consider myself a tent junky.. I bought my first one about 3 years ago... after a coupleb different makers and models... nothing but growlabs for me!! Good luck

I would go with 3 gallon containers. And if you are going to let your plants get that big, go with a 1000w if u can. Much better light penetration and better yields. What are your plans for ventilation? And if u plan to veg for two months, I wouldnt go over 10 plants, especially if using a smaller light

I have a 1000 watter in mine with an air cooled xxxl reflector. c02 and exhaust on separate timers. Never gets above 80 pulled 1lb off 7 plants last round. Had ph problems though so I should do better this round. I have 6 white lightning plants one week in and I did alot of training. Nice even canopy. The dr 120 is closer to five feet square btw.

hi and again thanks for replies i was looking at getting a kit somethink like this http://www.greenshorticulture.co.uk/Grow-Tents-353/Dark-Room-Grow-Tent-Packages-485/Dark-Room-DR120-Grow-Tent-Package-1215.asp i dont really want to go above a 600w cos if i got a veg room too im a little paranoid and wouldnt want the electric bill to flash on the radar . yeah i was thinking i could fit 6-10 max dont want more id rather 6-8 nice sized one . the widows dont grow too too big any how but nice size and 2-3ft tall

ok so im thinking more like 6 weeks now but widows grow short ish so i would trim them to be well bushy and i was gonna keep a mother so i can have a constant flow so say when one lot been in flower say 3-4 weeks take clones from the mother and leave with her so there ready soon as the others are out

Five square feet?? try 16, as 4x4=16. Where did u get 5 from??? the dr 120 is 120cm x 120cm, which is approximately 47.25" x 47.25
