Okay to say this briefly I have three spider sf-2000 which of the dimensions are like 25.5 x 10.5 x 2.5 plus I have a blurple that I don't really use but slightly shorter so in total have four lights can I get a 4 by 4 tent and space all of the lights... Or is a 4 by 4 tent really just made for a 4 x 4 light

Can I put multiple lights in one tent basically or do I need to get a light that is fitted for that tent

I just don't want to have to get 3 2x4 tents in order to utilize all my lights which now that I say that doesn't sound like a bad idea but still any insight on this guy's? 3 2x4 tents or one big tent

I'm a closet grower and I had a very long closet 2 x 11 lol so that's why I went with narrow lights in the past...I also thought of getting a 5*8 and just buying one more big light to add to the rest...idk what to do yall
 
3 tents....that way you can be in different phases of growing at any given time and do a perpetual grow.

3 7 gallon living soil pots would be my end of grow capacity what you think ?

If I do earth boxes I can only fit one....if I did 5 gallon pots I could fit 4 but I feel like 7 gallons may yield better plus my soil recipe is for 70 gallons or soil so that 10 pots in total

I do like that idea one seedling/clone tent, a veg tent, and a flower tent

I also got that 4th blurple led 300 watt
 
if ur cycling plants rapidly in small tents you're not gonna wanna be involved in living soil pots or earth boxes. you're gonna want to focus on a high turn around concept with multiple tents. if you did one big tent you could do the living soil earth box thing...but i would rather recommend to a new grower that you get good at growing and maintaining the cycle and then move on to an earth box concept when you are better at maintaining a plant for yield throughout it's life cycle. Then you wont need multiple tents and will do just fine with one tent to supply ur needs.

Flourescent fixture for seedlings and clones will suffice. 5k bulbs work well and can get led tubes too. Use most powerful lights for flower and medium power for veg. I prefer bigger pots myself but this means less plants. Earth boxes l know nothing of. But sound like a good idea. 5g will take a plant all the way to end.

I'm stuck on the organic living soil right now without a doubt that's where my heart is right now I'm stepping away from synthetic bottle nutes...could I not throw all these lights in 3x3 or 4x4...what I'm worried about is spacing and having enough room too for ventilation my de hue is the shape of a big ass cube so I wanna have lil extra room to fit everything
 
Is there even gonna be a place to hang three lights that's my biggest worry because I don't have the tent to really see

I Kno just want to be efficient with what I've already got....tell me what you think


4x8 tent and 4x4 light and I can line the other lights up I'll have around a foot of space left on the end which I like to have a little room to move around not all jamm packed plus I need a little room up top for my ducting

I'd go smaller but I want a longer tent kinda like my closet 2x11 instead of a square tent

If they had a 2x 8 I'd buy it lol 3 x 8 would be dope too
 
still cant flower separately, one tent means one cycle at a time...just want you to know
but yeah 3 spiderfarms in a 4x8 would play fine
