hey guys,
A side from my outside grow, I was thinking of growing something inside but not 100% sure. I was looking for a simple set-up that could be assemble and disassemble, therefore looking at 2 ideas.

#1
3 - All-In-One Indoor Garden Package 4x4 Grow Tent w/ 1000HPS
all connected together so 12x4
48 sq/feet should be good

#2
3 - Silver Hut 54" x 54" x 84"
1 - Light Rail 3.5 with the extension
1 - 1000 watt hortilux w/ 6'' silver star reflector with a 400 cfm inline fan for ventilation

Now my question:
- What set-up would produce the biggest yields?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
JR

Well, i go with the setup that produces the most harvest using the least amount of power, even if its more expensive to set up initially. You dont plan on having a veg chamber? If your looking for good continuous yields adding a veg chamber to the system would be more worth it then having a giant all in one chamber.

I'm not worried about the power uses, just thaught of the light mover as another possibility for a set-up. Going with 3 lights should I leave the tents seperate or connect them?

Thanks

Movers are meant for better coverage over their intended area (fills in shaded part)
So if a 1KW does 10f^2 then with a light mover you should still only do 10f^2. But will get better coverage of the area.
(10f^2 is just an example)

its the area where you start your seedling or clones and keep them under an 18/6 light schedule before you flower them under 12/12, and its worth it if you want to get your plants big before flowering which equals bigger yields so yea.

thanks for the info guys.... could I leave them in the same room and when they are all ready change the lighting? One of my friends told me a good way to make them flower is to go from 18/6 then to 8/16 and going 12/12 until the end, is this right?

The setup with the hortilux 1000 and lightmover is your best bet.

Thats exactly what I run and I manage to get over 2 lbs a grow.
