im thinking about just buying a small tent for inside my room and turning the clset into a clone area. whats the best size hps bulb that would work in a 2x2 box? and another question how many plants is optimal for this tent? i would be greatly pleased if i could get away with 4. oh and it will be a hydro grow


here is the tent i was looking at

In a 2x2 box you'd struggle controlling heat above 400w of hps.

400w will allow you to grow 4 plants that don't exceed 2.5ft tall.

Anything taller than 2.5ft and lower growth on your plants will suffer due to very little light penetration that far down.

I'd get this one if I were you.

That way you don't run into height restrictions depending on strains. I run a 400HPS in mine. Lollipop on the taller ones..
