Hi

So first time grower here, after flipping through some threads and posts I have sort of decided on what I want my first set up to be. Just wanted to post it here and see if I am on the right track or if I am a total idiot.

Because of where I am growing I would need a grow tent, so I have picked out one (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HYDROPONICS-...ltDomain_0&hash=item3a70b51766#ht_2955wt_1141) or the solahut 120.

The process I am planning to use is with bubbleponics, stealth hydro to be precise. I figured I would order this kit: http://www.stealthhydroponics.com/product.php?xProd=2 while upgrading to the dual spectrum II

I plan to grow two plants, but I realize that these bulbs may not be enough. If I ran them both at once would that work? Or should I buy one more vegetative bulb and one more flowering bulb, using two vegetative and then two flowering at each respective stage?

Thanks in advance, and if I am way off please don't be too arrogant about it! I am totally new at this and still trying to learn. Thanks again!
 
No on the tent. White pvc lined tents are prone to what is called "off gassing" google it. Can kill your plant. ALWAYS stick to 100% mylar tents. I do like the bubbleponics system though. Good choice with that.

Awesome man thanks so much, thought it just had to be reflective. Appreciate the help. Take care =)
 
Any comments on the lighting? Would the two CFL's that are included in the setup be enough to support 2 plants? Or would I need to purchase additional lights? Thanks
 
I would go with a 200w(actual watts) cfl bulb.

Something like this. I would have suggested a MH bulb but honestly, I don't think they perform as well as cfl's in veg. Definitely would want a 400w+ HPS in flower. I've been using a MH to veg for 2 years with mixed feelings about it, my first grow was all cfl and IMO they do a bit better, I'm going to go with that for my next grow then switch to my trusty HPS for flower.

MY OPINION LOL: about the lights, rule is 100watt per plant, if you got 2 plants, 2 CFL 100watt actual lights will do you nice for veg. once into flower, 1 hps 400watt or 600watt like mrshim will be good!
