Bigger tent
Keeping my electricity costs down is most important to me I feel. Just gotta find a good deal on led light. thanks though
Really? I would have to disagree and believe I can grow four in a 1.2x1.2 quite comfortably so long as I buy the right strain and take my time learning.
You may prove me wrong of course so no judgment here.
Down to you... one plant is less hassle... no competing for space. Cheaper to set up. I grow my plants 3 foot then flower.Really? I would have to disagree and believe I can grow four in a 1.2x1.2 quite comfortably so long as I buy the right strain and take my time learning.

Note that when you buy seeds you by genotype not phenotype...so you will end up with a fucked up canopy with multiple plants

Thank you for the wishes, i wish you the best of luck as well 
Another thing i would add, temperature and humidity is equally important as everything else, maybe even a top priority in my opinion.
Nothing worse than mold and bud rot! I think everyone would rather have a small yield of weak weed but healthy, than a large yield of moldy and rotten weed
Personally i have to install a complete AC unit from scratch, and get a good dehumidifier because the RH is 70-80% here next to the ocean. This will double my initial costs and up the electricity bill, something to consider if you need it as well.

Research AC units mine has a dehumidifier built in. May cost more but might be worth it.Thank you for the wishes, i wish you the best of luck as well

Humidity here currently goes between 50% - 60$. I have an ac unit but no dehumidifier.
Will the humidity rise a lot in the tent then? Due to the heat and watering/spraying?
I'll look for a secondhand one.
Cheers
Cool I have one that will do exactly that I reakon
How about this tent? Can the tent be budget as this one is over half the price of the better looking ones?
I can fit this size easily so figured why not for the future, I can still start small and move about in it easier.

Wow thank you, this looks much better and within my budget. I've got about $1000 - $1500 NZ.
Gotta get my seeds out of that too.
How many plants could I get under that light btw?

Honestly you can fit 6 in a tent that size, even more with experience, but from a quality standpoint I wouldn't go over 4. I think if it where me with what i know I would get a 7-10 gallon and grow one or two plants. You'll get the same volume because you'll let the tent fill up just the same but you won't over do the light. Remember this isn't the best choice in lights, it's the best light for you budget, so there's gonna be compromises. This light is better suited for a 3x3 so consider that. the veg area will be fine but the bloom area is 3x3 not 4x4. People will tell you different but trust me one good plant beats 4 mediocre plants any day. You sound new to indoors so keep things simple. One or two plants 7 gallon, or one plant 10 gallon. Focus on a strong root system. and make sure you cut out the bottom 3rd of the plant. Make it look like a lollipop. use LST to control the top canopy and keep it even. Using Advanced nutrients means you will not have to worry about PH as long as you stick with the rest of their nutrient line. They are designed to work together. If you splurge on more than the base nutrients go for Tarantula, Piranha, and Voodoo Juice in the 250 or 500 ml bottles that way you spend less and cover your whole grow during veg. As time goes and you save money grab rhino skin to take you into bloom and add B-52 or big bud. Lastly add overdrive in the end of the grow and flawless finish when your ready to flush. anything outside of the base nutrients are optional, but I would grab molasses and add a teaspoon every other feeding and toss in a teaspoon of Epsom salt every other feeding, the two replace cal-mag and bud candy. If you buy anyone else's nutrient additives you'll want to keep an eye on PH. Veg that baby till it reaches half the height of your grow space/tent before flipping to bloom. try not to defoliate too much, the fan leaves take in and process light and help the plant along. Don't water/feed everyday, skipping a day or two causes the roots to grow looking for water causing the plant to grow. Once you plant is taller than the bucket start bottom feeding, meaning you pour water/feed into a tray that the plant pot sits in. This will keep the top of your soil dry and discourage gnats. Watch how much you water, if your water on Monday and there is a puddle of water in the bottom tray on Tuesday you'll have root rot problems. Also make sure you add pellets or rocks in the bottom of your plants so the roots don't sit in water. About an inch should be fine. A fan will keep air moving and strengthen the stalks and branches. Be patient! Hopefully some more experienced growers will take what I just suggested and tweak it to help you more.
Absolutely brilliant my friend, you have taught me so much in not too many words, but enough to make it clear, just what I needed.
I feel way more confident moving forwards now.
I will keep an eye out for further advice and do some more research.
Cheers brother, have a good one and God bless man.
