If your budget is wide open I'd check out the Growcraft X3. The 330 would be fine for that area too, but for $100 more you can get the 500 just in case you want to turn it up ever in the future. It could also go in a slightly larger area. I'm just the type that would get the 500.

Yeah lighting - raid the piggy bank - get a budget down and shop for some proper lighting.

Growing your meds properly will pay for itself.

Look into GROWERS CHOICE. An roi-e420 would be very good in there. Measurements are 34 3/4 inches by 34 1/2 inches. Not sure if it would fit.

2.875 is wider than 2.67, so no, it won't fit.

I would look for a light that is more than what you need, that is adjustable, so you can back off the intensity, and if you need to, you can increase it. Also, you need some sort if c02 supplementation. They use it up faster than you'd think.

Would c02 supplementation mean products like this? I've never used one, but believe they would help indeed: https://www.amazon.com/ExHale-Homeg...la-425365112339&ref=&adgrpid=69086828116&th=1

Those are bullshit and won't do a damn thing. If you aren't in a sealed environment and every run is already perfect there's no need to run co2.

They do work, you can measure it, I've used them a few times in tents. For the small tent they are using it will definitely work. And I don't know if you missed it, but no, his plants aren't doing good, they definitely could use c02 supplementation. Plants need it, especially under LED indoors.

Terrible information

Fat Rambo said:
How so? Explain in detail. And before you say the bags don't work, have you measured them? Keep in mind they weren't being used as a comparison, they are being referred to for his small setup. It's the cheapest way for his tent

I did a month long test all data logged on a pulse pro, bags never added a single ppm of co2 over the test.

This is all bad info.

@Fat Rambo

C02 is not going to fix an unhealthy plant.

I don’t supplement co2

please advise why I should

Agreed, but it doesn't look sickly, it looks underpowered (lights) which they will be getting more lighting power, and with that comes the need for what? C02? Nutes? Yep, the whole 9 yards.

I agree, and its all worth a try. The CO2 bags are cheap so I have no concerns trying one out. I'll try a gen of grow with both new lights and CO2 and another gen w/o the bag. That way we can scientifically deduce if both help.
Of course there are other variables, but these two are easy to control.

They are useless.

You just crossed a line! Bud!

another one to ignore. It seems like a lot of well-known members know everything about everything. Let's see a picture of their perfect grow. That is if they grow at all.
