    Default Tent size for 6 plants?

    On my next grow I was wondering what tent size would be adequate for 6 plants? Also would one 1000W HPS be enough or would I need two?

    No idea about tent size but the light would be up to it

    I would think a 1.5x1.5x2.2 would do the job. JMO

    Are you sure mate? Because I’ve got a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 at the moment and 4 plants in them and it’s packed in there.

    it all depends on your veg time tbh, 6 plants vegged for 5-6 weeks is no bother in a 1.2x1.2
    6 vegged for 12 weeks is just gonna be wall to wall

    more plants with less veg or fewer with more veg

    I don’t think that would be big enough mate, I veg’d 4 plants for 4 weeks and i definitely couldn’t fit another 2 in there which is why I was looking for something bigger for the next run.

    have done 8 then 9 in a 1.5x1.5 but i try and keep empty space around the outer edge for airflow so not using the full floor space
    never had a problem with 5/6 in my older 1.2x1.2 but if ur topping and doing lots of training in large pots you might as well go 4 plants but vegged and trained for longer

    8 plant grow




    as you can see yourself still plenty of empty space for airflow and light penetration
    could easily achieve the same weight using less plants but a longer veg

    if ya have the space go for a 1.5x1.5 but you'll need a 6'' L1 extractor to help keep the environment on point

    Alright then mate that sounds good I’ll go for the 1.5x1.5 then. Could you recommend a very good 6” extractor? Or would it be better if I got an 8” on a speed controller? I’ll probably need an in-line fan too right? If I do what size do you think I should get?

    Were those autos or photos? & what size pots were you using?
