    Default My 1st grow tent

    Hello guys, sorry i have been away for so long but these past few weeks have been erm well very stressful to say the least.

    Anyway due to a change in circumstances i am now no longer able to continue with my plan of having my 1st ever grow in my closet. I have been searching the forum and internet and have noticed alot of you seem to grow in these grow tents. These seem like at the moment they would suit me perfectly. So my question is what grow tent would you recomend? I was hoping to grow with a 400w duel spec hps bulb so would be great if there are any good quality tent kits?

    Please please help me out guys i am so excited to begin my grow

    hello novice , I rock a dr120 Secret Jardin 1.2x1.2x2m, ticks every box for me , you get what you pay for,... first tent kit i had was bollox and cheap came with tt fan which are shit!! stay away from tent kits buy separate they are all value bollox,.. when i turned the light on it was like a xmas tree load of like pin holes in it..sent that straight back. but find the dr120 Secret Jardin good quality and a good buy ...

    I run a 600w hps , with 6" extraction , 4" intake , with dim-able ballast for the hot hot summer where i can turn down to 400sl or up to 600wsl pending on the weather,, the zip is the loudest thing in my groom lol atb on your decision.. but buy cheap you will bye twice!! trust me

    Thank you man, i totally agree about staying away from the cheaper end. I always say "cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap". I will look into your recommendation man .

    Oh by the way how many plants do you grow at the one time in the dimensions you have described? Just i was originally planning on only growing one plant as it is my very 1st grow but now considering two.

    When you guys talk about cheap set ups, are yall talking about CFL's as to MH-HPS. The reason I ask, I have always bought cheap, and I have always gotten good products. Right now I am in a 3'x3'x6.5' tent with a 250 watt MH-HPS, and it works great, Around $75.00 for the Tent, and $100.00 for the light's and ballaist. Before then I was using a 4'x4'x7' tent with a 400 watt HPS, but the cops stold that one. Remember no matter what anyone of us think, all ballaist are made in the same shop in China, so regardlest of a name brand or not, you are getting pertty much the same thing, in the off brand name. good luck and happy growing
