Advice on 2x2x2m tent, lights + extraction

[BigDub]

Ok I have in mind either 3x600w or 1000w for flower.

I already have a 10” gorilla acoustic box 2500m3 fan would this be acceptable for the job? Would 400w MH still be okay for veg or should this be upped to 600w ?

Also have an 8” acoustic box fan (1500m3) and a 6”rvk L1 ( 720m3) that could be used for intake.

Plan on having 10 plants, not sure wether to go with autos, or photos.

What size pots would I be best to look at?
Would be growing in coco

I would think more like 8 Photo's, give your self A little run for the plants to bloom out. But maybe 10 Auto's. JMO

Thanks bud, will take all info on board. I’ve got most of the equipment. Not even 100% if I’m going ahead with it, im just doing some research

I had an 8" RVK pulling from 3 tents...1.5x1.5x2...900x900x1.8 & a 600x900x900...all getting negative pressure so your 10" box fan will be fine, as will the 8" for an intake...I would consider getting a controller for the fans though as more control over a large environment. My 1.5m is still packed away but the RVK is now on 2 tents at half power

400 MH until they're a week old or so then switch to the 600

I had 10 plants (photos) in the 1.5 but it was maxed out...got a bit carried away with myself

Sorry forgot to mention I’ve got a big sms 8amp hybrid and the variac DIY one I built following mr Budlightyears guide.

I have option for either 400v double ended bulbs or standard ballasts, is 3 lights enough or should I just put 4 in?

All good then

A single 600w will cover around 1.8m so 2 would work but more light...more growth (and more electricity consumption) so...
