First post, been lurking a while. I'm getting ready to set up a first ever grow (the schwag plant i stuck under fluroro tubes in my college cupboard don't count
)
Looking forward to posting the journal here, but i'm stuck and any advice much appreciated.
I'm setting up in an attic in the south east - it's going to be cold. And i need to be able to dismantle it quickly if need be, which means using a grow tent. The best tent size for the space I've got is 0.75m x 0.75m x 1.2m. That gives me almost 6 sq ft, but not much headroom.
My question is - will 400w be too much, and is the height of the tent too low?
So far the plan is: 400w, 2 plant scrog with NFT (to keep height/maintenance down). According to my maffs the plants (and me) will benefit from the extra light. Obviously i'm gonna have the extractor on 24/7, with fans blowing inside too, and i figure it's going to be cold outside...
So yeah - 250w or 400w in that situation? What do you reckon?
cheers
