Looking to upgrade tent size suggestions?

[Smokenpassout]

I been usuin a 2x2.5 for year. Never exceeding 4 plants (very tight). I have a bought 1000 watts led light and a 4”
fan filter. Looking for a bit more room but to re use my lights and 4” carbon fan filter. Should I go with a 2x4 or a 3x3? I imagine Id need to increase airflow going any larger than that.

What light do you have?

4x8 sounds right for you 4 or 5 large plants a side, 500W per side.


Unless it isone of those 100W (1000W) lights, then you can just use a small tent

My 5 x 5 with 700 wall Watts using an AC Infinity 8 inch inline going outside works for me.

The scorpion far red?

Nope, I run spiderfarmer sf4000 (450 watts) + King (250 watts) all drivers inside tent. Runs no higher than 80 degrees.

Nice but I only need space for 6-8 plants.

3x5 its almost double the square footage of a 2x4 and doesn't seem much larger.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but its reality. Your 4 kissel H380's are not 1000 watts. As @MtRainDog replied in your other thread, they are 90 watt blurples. Forget equivalent watts or anything other than ACTUAL watts.

They have a poor spectrum and terrible distribution with most of the light focused on a small hot spot in the center, it's shown about 4:25 minutes into this video. Others can better advise, but I'm thinking maybe 2.5x2.5 coverage with those lights.

They each draw 90 watts but put out the rquivalant of a 250 watt light. But if you want to say they are actual 90 watss ok. I have been able to flower 3-4 girls easily. They have a blurple as well as a red blooming spectrum. The have a nice spread at 12-18” over tops.

You'd do much better with better lighting. What's the metric for saying they put out the same amouny of light as a 250?

Ok I can always get better lights. 250 watt equivalent is a guesstimate at best. I do get good results with them.

You'd get better results with better lights, I don't want to call them trash, but they aren't very good.

What kind of lighting are you running?

 

[Nope_49595933949]

In my 3x3 Veg tent a Diablo board with a 200 watt powersupply turned down to 140 watts and an HLG scorpion rspec far red in my 5x5

I've posted twice now and deleted both posts as I feel I've misunderstood something .

So just let me ask you.

Are you using 4x 90w lights in a 2ft x 2ft space?
360w?

I just looked into those more... What did you pay for them?
