  • Hey guys so ive decided to go with some royal queen critical feminised seeds, gonna be growing 2 under a dual spectrum 250w hps (master blaster from the uk off ebay) , i want to know is 100x100x200 tent too big for two plants and a 250 hps? i could go for a 60x60x140 tent or even a 80x80x180 tent i just want to know which one will be the correct size,
    would that area be too much to cover for that light? , i cant switch it up to a 400w because i plan on using the one light through the whole grow and it would just cost too much, I will also be using the scrog method for this grow to optimize space. So basically all i want to know is that is the equipment list ive listed good enough for the two plants (royal queen critical) and is a 100x100x200 grow tent too big for a 250w hps?
    Thanks guys

100x100x200 is not too big for a 250 watt but you will need good ventilation

We trust you are talking centimeters and not inches, so for our American friends this would be about 3 ft x 3 ft by 6 ft tall, correct?

I really appreciate the reply Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde, . yes to correct that error i am indeed actually talking about centimeters haha, Now this attached link is what i will be hoping to buy http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250W-HPS-MH-Lamps-Magnetic-Ballast-Reflector-Grow-Tent-Dual-Floor-Hydroponics-/310845747553? . I plan on using a 250w MH bulb for the first 4-5 weeks of vegging (i have changed my mind and am going for white widow) and then switch to the 250w HPS bulb for the remaining 7-8-9 weeks of flowering. Now i belive that that tent dimensions are as follows: L90CM W50CM and H160CM, do you believe that those tent dimensions will be alright with a 4" 100mm tt fan with about 2 metres of 4" ducting and a carbon filter? , and will that light be powerful enough to give good coverage to the whole area of the grow tent and also will them two plants fit in this tent

Please reply soon and kindest regards :)

to be honest not sure what a 4" 100mm tt fan is, as I think in CFM's
You may want to do some search on this site for ideas, but I would think you need a 4 inches inline fan just to move the air, then a fan for your carbon filter

Wow that was a quick reply im impressed! from your observation do you believe that it is safely achievable to grow 2 white widow plants under nice tempatures, with that size tent and them nutrients? , i am worried that that tent will be too small for the plants and that the scrog will fail what do you guys think? Thanks so much for the reply really helping me out!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
the 100mm tt fan is 167mh/3 (airflow)
Ill be using 18l pots

yes, 2 plants would fit well

too many questions to answer as there are so many variables, you need to do some homework then ask specific questions
