Hey,
First time grower now that Canada is legal and my back finally decided to give out

Anyways I just purchased a 4x4 tent with a 4 inch fan ,carbon filter ,pots , ratchets,climate control,all that Jazz. But the only option for lights was a 400hps. It was 300 Canadian (=$7 usd).

I have never grown before.
I am looking to maximize what I can with this space.

I will be putting this tent inside my insulated garage. We get regular temps of -25c all the way to -45c. I do have a forced air heater in the garage which I usually set at +10c.

So my questions are. ...Will that little 400 watt hps be able to throw enough temperature to keep a 4x4 warm enough with the ambient outside temp 10c ?

Is the 400 even worth wasting time? Or should I just use it in a little veg tent for next go around.

And if the answer to keeping the 400 for veg is a yes .....then would a 1000hps or any quantum board have enough heat to Work?

And happy Canada day !

Thanks !

So I’m new to growing, new to the world of forums but I’ve been smoking weed for nearly 20 years and I love it!
I’m massively impressed with this forum with a lot of knowledge easily accessible and I can’t wait to start learning!
I don’t have anywhere to set up a proper grow so starting with a random seed from some “sunset sherbert”. It’s a fighter there was only one fully formed seed (late pollination I’m guessing) it popped in a day, sprouted from soil in 2 and it’s going ok so far between outside (northern uk summer 18-30 degrees) and inside in the warmest room. Really hoping it’s a female and that it will bud with this weather and my 0 knowledge and skill

Welcome and good luck. Such a fun hobby and so rewarding! There is a MASSIVE amount of information on here to help you out. I'm constantly learning too and this forum helps a lot. Get a fabric pot when you transplant it.....helps the roots out I read somewhat like topping the plant but for the roots.

I recieved a mj plant from a friend, I transplanted it in a field next to the house for security reasons. This is my first plant, I need to know how much water and fertalizer to give it! First I planted it in good soil from my garden, then I've been giving it 1 Gallon of water/day and 1x a week I've been giving it multipurpose mericle grow. It seems to be doing ok! What do you think?

Hello Roll It Up, not a new grower, just new to the site. I am on other forums, about to being doing a hps vs led side by side grow, and will be doing a log here for it starting in the next couple of weeks. Just figured I would say whats up to you all and get a couple posts in and get the lay of the land in here. Dabs away.

Hey RIU, first time grower planning an indoor grow with a 5x5 tent. Still deciding if I should go with HPS lights or shell out the extra money for LED right away? Glad to have this place as a resource. Smoke up
