Need help separating Veg and flower room

Okay so here's what im working with:
3'x3'x7' tent
600w light
6in inline fan
growing in soil.



I have recently decided it would be much easier for me if i had a separate veg and flower tent. The problem im having is deciding what wattage to use and the size of the veg tent. Im pretty sure im going to go with a 400w MH from HTG supply,unless anyone has better ideas for lighting, but still unsure of the tent size. I was thinking that maybe i should get a bigger tent and use that for flowering and then use the 3x3x7 for veg, or should i just stick with 3x3 for flower and get a wider tent (The veg tent will be in the garage).

Thank you

Going with 2 tents will always be better because you can save time with a dedicated veg room, which will cut down on your flowering time and allow you to have a perpetual harvest.

Vegging plants are much smaller, so you use a smaller tent to veg and a bigger tent to flower.

There are many things to consider if you're trying to make the smartest decision:

1. What are your goals?
2. What is your budget?
3. What power is available to you?
4. What space is available to you?

These are what we need to know in order to give you the best advice. Plants double or triple in size when flowering, so you can plan with that in mind.

I would say my goal is to have a perpetual harvest, and possibly a mother so i keep having clones.
and my budget would be middle-of-the-road.

I dont really have a lot of power, that is why i was thinking of a 400w or even T5HO, but from what i've read t5's are mainly good for seedlings and clones.
I have some space in my room and some space in the garage, if it goes in the garage i would get an open reflector just because it gets freezing.

Would that be enough for a veg room?
i still want the plants to grow quickly and from my understanding t5's have slow growth
