well I can fit about 9 pots of 15 litre in the tent. but I have my fan on the floor which take abit of room so about 6-7.
I did modify the fan to fit in my space, and still messing with them for the last few years ..lol

If it were me I would use smaller containers and just water more frequently. But as someone else stated the 12/12 guys are better qualified than I

I have a good desktop vape. (bag type) and I ln no way conserve weed i use way more
Well think about it, when a lighter makes contact with flower it turns charred while if a vaporizer set to a temperature which won't create charring but rather a bit of browned bud, more of the THC content is conserved when vaporizing. Lighters create flames significantly hotter than the heating element of a vaporizer and this is wasteful to bud.. It's science. :bigjoint:

I've heard of a great, cheap bag vaporizer involving components of a variable temperature heat gun and a couple components from the volcano (attachment and bag), that worked quite well. But this is what I use, a vapor brothers desktop vape, was $125 for the blemished handheld model:

I know how a vape works and mines a vapir rise, much higher quality than those vape brothers and I know because I've also had one of them as well.

End of the day I smoke way more weed using my vape

I've got a tip for how to stretch your weed out, invest in a desktop vaporizer. Easy on the lungs and you will have weed for days!
Makes sense I've tried something similar, basically mixed weed with shisha flavour with double foil which burns really slow which you get high for longer and lasts for hours, but yeah sounds cool.

I have a 4x2x5 tent with a 400W HPS. I measured so I know it will fit and I'm planning on putting like 8 plants in there fairly soon after I harvest.
each in a 3 gallon smart pot with coco perlite mix. I dont see why it wouldnt work with all the reflective material.
So I say 8!
The only issue with that if vegging is the plants will crowd out each other, it'll be a jungle. If going with 12/12 then the plants, IMO, don't get big enough to cause an issue with crowding. I have a tray of 6 that was vegged for 30 days from cut and the canopy foot print is more than 4x4 and that was a week ago. Haven't seen them in a week :o but probably a tad bigger lol. I removed all my phone pics before flying but there is a pic under the Dr Greenthumb oh zone thread of mine from 12 days ago.

I don't think OP's even grow em any yet, help with that then help with consuming it, if needed lol. And yup I've heard people say they smoke more when vaping but yes it helped me smoke less for bigger bang lol.

One can't really compare the two because they are built differently, and in general we get what you pay for, the vapir costs twice as much... My point is that vaporizers like the one I use will make a given amount of cannabis last much longer than smoking it.

What makes cannabis last longer isn't in the method of consumption. I believe that's what's being said to you. 1/4 a day. Burned, vaped, rosin' it's still a 1/4 a day.

I have to chuck heaps in my vape. Once its toast it's toast. The whole idea people have thinking it lasts longer is just silly.
