Hi,
I recently did a simple grow, my first one, just to see the basics of growing cannabis. I planted 2 seeds of auto white widow under 200w of CFL and yielded 27g (0.91 oz) dried.
So, right now I´m planing a new grow, but this time for real, and I would like to have your opinion about the hardware that I choosed.
Right now I´m planing to grow again white widow, but this time feminized, buy a dark room 90 v2.5 tent from secret garden, a 400 w hps lamp with a open hood and a eletromagnetic ballast, a smart pot container (4 gal)(15.1L), an exhaust fan of 5"(125mm), probably a TT dual, an intake fan, and the soil would be Terra Professional Plus from canna. My objective is yield +- 5 oz (150g) with 3 feminized white widow plants.
This is my idea but if anyone have a different opinion please tell me.
Good Smokes and thanks for your patience!!

You are planning on using a 4 gal for 3 plants? I would go with a 5 gallon for each plant. Maybe larger if your room will fit it.

That will work. The plants need the air to circulate - I'd add an occulting fan. For flowering I'd add some more light if possible.
Nice job getting what you got on your first grow!

thanks for your opinions Bud Tipps and Final Phase... btw what you think about the cool tube? is it worth it? I forgot to say but I´ll use a MH lamp for veg... I think 5 gallon won´t fit, but when I buy the tent I try them

You will easily achieve 5 oz+ with 3 white widows. And guess what! you can take clones off of your plant and not have to buy new seeds! a 400w hps lamp is good for 3 plants (I use 600w but 400w is also really good). You can even use your old CFLs from last time for supplemental lighting. Good luck!

Thank´s bbyb420... I know that 600w hps lamp are the most efficient ones, so do you think I should get one instead of 400w? Do you know if the the 600w spends much more electricity than the 400w?
