Hey,

I'm looking at the 36x20x63" grow tent. I am going to do autoflowers (mephisto) and most likely soil, but am looking into coco. Never grown before so this will be a first attempt. Looking at lights, it looks like I could do either the 120w or 240w QB LEDs. Looking at kingbrite. However, it seems that with that kind of height, light burn can become a real concern. The QBs are adjustable but just looking for some expert opinions. Should I go for the 240w or the 120w? Is the 120w more than enough for that footprint for 2 maybe 3 plants or would the 240w work fine too?

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hey man, Good luck on your grow yeah you can just have a couple plants in there and I would go with soil and stick with the 240 light because you got a dimmer mode.and get you a 4 inch exhaust fan 190 CFM You can get it pretty cheap on Amazon is where I got mine. My tent was to small 24x48x72. If you get a bigger tent I recommend vivosun! No light holes on mine

I use a tent that size for a mother/clone tent.
Although it does work well for that, I'd suggest a larger tent if you have the space.
I have done bubbler buckets, soil, and coco in random closet grows and most of the plants will occupy a 2x2 footprint.
I'd plan on 30 watts/sq ft of canopy as a minimum(I'd shoot for 40).
A good reference would be a 120-watt QB/plant.

My tent is the exact same size I believe and I run a Phlizon 1200 watt full spectrum LED (250 WATT ACTUAL POWER DRAW) I have 3 plants in there now and it is really tight, matter a fact one of them is in a much smaller pot than the other two only way I could make it work. Very possibly could have done a lot better at the LST and containing the size but live and learn :D

I have 3 bubbling buckets 2 super Lemon Mac and sour Tangie so I’m having a competition bet! Soil vs Bubbler. For a hundred bucks for the biggest yields

This was a Sweet Seed Dark Devil auto I ran a few winters ago in a closet grow.
Almost 5 oz of the weirdest, red-sapped spewing weed.
I always get better yields in hydro/coco vs. soil.

Should I go for 2 plants in 3gal pots, or should I attempt 3 in 3gal pots? These are all auto flowers but still, 3 seems like it might be pushing it.

Is it the AC Infinity Cloudlabs 632 tent? If so, I can share my experiences with this tent. Nice little tent for its size.

I flowered two little Hempy buckets in one. Ran out of room, quick. That was with some serious LST to get an even canopy and to fill the tent. Had no issues filling it.

With that said, you might want to just throw two plants in 3gal pots for the first run. Then base your next run on your experiences. Or run all three and figure it out laterbongsmilie

Well the one I was shipped was nice.

A few very minor leaks in the stitching here and there, but nothing to worry about it. The poles are nice and sturdy.

The controller mounting plate is great and fits perfectly with their controller. Idk why this isn’t something more tent manufacturers are doing.

I bought this tent to fit a specific spot as an additional flower tent. It serves its purpose just fine for two plants.
