GROW ROOM QUESTIONS

Hey guys im looking to get a grow tent the one i want is 48" x 48" x 78" i was just wondering how many plants could i fit a space like that . Would it be how many pots i could fit ? I plan on using 5 gallon pots i was thinking somewhere around 6-7 plants ? Let me know what yall think im going to be using a
A SlimStar 4 Foot 8 Lamp High Output T5 Fluorescent light set up how am i doing so far ?

That light won't support large plants. If you want to use it, I suggest you use smaller pots, say 3 gallon,put 9 in there(3x3) and SCROG them.

What type of light setup would i need in that type of area for 6 large plants im trying to get the highest yield possible for them i said 6 so they will have some room to bush out and not crowd each other . Im guessing im going to need a hps lighting setup but how many watts ?

1000W.......600W if heat is a major issue at first....probably best bet is too grab a 1000W digital/dimmable ballast if you can afford one? Then turning the light down when/if heat becomes an issue? My 2 cents! I know a few experienced growers that use a 1000W in 4x4 area. Run 6 plants in 5G pots and give her a whirl! My tent is 3x3x5 and I run a 250W....with 5-6 plants, that's prob too many...but I have light(250W HPS) very close them and seems too work well.....GL my friend!
