Hey,
First time grower now that Canada is legal and my back finally decided to give out :(

Anyways I just purchased a 4x4 tent with a 4 inch fan ,carbon filter ,pots , ratchets,climate control,all that Jazz. But the only option for lights was a 400hps. It was 300 Canadian (=$7 usd).

I have never grown before.
I am looking to maximize what I can with this space.

I will be putting this tent inside my insulated garage. We get regular temps of -25c all the way to -45c. I do have a forced air heater in the garage which I usually set at +10c.

So my questions are. ...Will that little 400 watt hps be able to throw enough temperature to keep a 4x4 warm enough with the ambient outside temp 10c ?

Is the 400 even worth wasting time? Or should I just use it in a little veg tent for next go around.

And if the answer to keeping the 400 for veg is a yes .....then would a 1000hps or any quantum board have enough heat to Work?

And happy Canada day !

Thanks !

1000w hps will do the job growth and heat wise. It will probably be that hot you will need to put it in air cooled hood most of the time.
Have you looked into cmh
400w hp will not flower the whole tent
 
Yeah they are cooler I’ve got one I run all three (cmh,hps/my,cmh) I talk to heaps of people on here about cmh. These are mine under a cmh 6 weeks old been training the shit out of them I don’t have much height.

Little guy is Durban poison in a 30 gal and gorilla glue is the big one. Just fed them some good tea! See how they go now....

Hey where did you grab that tent kit from? Good price!...and I need to start sourcing one for October. Wifey not opposed to an indoor tent so its go time!
 
So I’m new to growing, new to the world of forums but I’ve been smoking weed for nearly 20 years and I love it!
I’m massively impressed with this forum with a lot of knowledge easily accessible and I can’t wait to start learning!
I don’t have anywhere to set up a proper grow so starting with a random seed from some “sunset sherbert”. It’s a fighter there was only one fully formed seed (late pollination I’m guessing) it popped in a day, sprouted from soil in 2 and it’s going ok so far between outside (northern uk summer 18-30 degrees) and inside in the warmest room. Really hoping it’s a female and that it will bud with this weather and my 0 knowledge and skill 8)

Welcome and good luck. Such a fun hobby and so rewarding! There is a MASSIVE amount of information on here to help you out. I'm constantly learning too and this forum helps a lot. Get a fabric pot when you transplant it.....helps the roots out I read somewhat like topping the plant but for the roots.

I recieved a mj plant from a friend, I transplanted it in a field next to the house for security reasons. This is my first plant, I need to know how much water and fertalizer to give it! First I planted it in good soil from my garden, then I've been giving it 1 Gallon of water/day and 1x a week I've been giving it multipurpose mericle grow. It seems to be doing ok! What do you think?

Don’t overwater sounds like too much too often.
 
Hello Roll It Up, not a new grower, just new to the site. I am on other forums, about to being doing a hps vs led side by side grow, and will be doing a log here for it starting in the next couple of weeks. Just figured I would say whats up to you all and get a couple posts in and get the lay of the land in here. Dabs away.

Welcome Bro check out big perms journal he is doing hlg v hgl side by side what led you running.
 
Penetrator XB200 from Hydro Grow Led, along side a 400 hps hortilux, separate cabs, both 3x3 ft. I am someone that normal rocks 1000hps, but for reasons am finishing a t5 round... Cabs for side by side are being built, and log will be started once light arrives, perhaps sooner. All organic btw, we still brewing quano teas over here. Should be a good show, most likely will be running deathstar for this run.

some pics for you for now, first two are the current mini t5 run(organic gg4) and last 3 were some things done under 1000w. Still getting used to the site here, figured I would start with that.

Hey RIU, first time grower planning an indoor grow with a 5x5 tent. Still deciding if I should go with HPS lights or shell out the extra money for LED right away? Glad to have this place as a resource. Smoke up

Welcome mate, I’ve got a 5x5 wish I could of afforded led for mine at the start I’ll be buying something, led for it soon. Check out bigperms journal for a good look at led setups.
 
Hi everyone I have a question. I've spotted mold on top of my soil and very little on one or 2 of my buds. I've removed the mold from the top of the soil. Should I do anything else and what could I use to drop my humidity
