Hello Guys i have read many posts and i will be a grower! First of all i have already buy Candy Kush Express (Fast version from Royal Queen Seeds) and one other Cheese (60% indica-40% sativa) all seeds are feminized photoperiod. Also i took 80x80x160cm grow tent with Biobizz Light mix. Before i start i need your help about lights because i dont know really what i need to my plants. i am thinking about HPS lamps because i dont have money for led panel. Is it good idea to choose HPS lamps for my plants ? How many watt i need for my space and what else do i need to get started ?
I also have an indicator of humidity and temperature.
Thanks for your help !

For an HPS you’ll want a 400w or 600w. Either will work for your space. Obviously the 600w will give you more yield than the 400w but also will throw a little more heat. You’ll need an in-line exhaust fan to pull off the heat along with a hood to distribute the light and allow for the ducting to be attached. Add a carbon filter at the end and you’ve got a stealthy setup.

Thanks for your answer!! One more question do you think that CFL lamps is it better for my space? I think for high temperature. In CFL lamps need I to use the same watts?

Youd be better off with led ..the heat is minimal and means you can run a smaller quieter exhaust...a600hp will be tough to cool in summer
