Would this be too small?

Would 36" x 20" x 62" tent be too small for a 600 watter flowering 2 girls vegged for 60 or so days? I already have a small veg tent that holds 2 girls for about 60 days + the clones i get. Then i popped em in the closet i was using. Off the top of my head i would say its small but work-able. Right?! I was using a closet that was about the same width just longer however i never used the whole space. Well i used the whole closet but there was a lot of spare room to the sides. id say the light and plants only took up about 36"-40" all together in a 22" width space. So id say its workable right? Cooltube by the way so the light will easily fit inside with 4" ducting.

Oh and just so you know how i would try to make it work;

5 gal bags with soil,
2 girls flowering at a time,
vegged for 60 or so days,
No training besides topping in veg, (i dont think the tent would work using scrog with 2 plants)
600w cooltube easily accessible inside the tent,
I lollipop/trim the nodes/leaves that dont get much light,


Think that would work? I want to buy this tent because i cant use a closet in my new place. What do you guys say?

6 week veg maybe only 4 if your doing two plants. ive got a similar size area(a bit bigger) and a 600w and i dont think your going to have enough space if you veg for a full 2 months.

you got plenty of height i think you could do it just fine. but i would veg for a month in a half maybe. 2months total including seedling/rooting stage depending on how you start and 2 month veg or a seedling might work as long as its a pure strain such as afgan which vegs very slow.

I too would agree that u should be fine tho i would more think about a shorter veg time just so u haven't got to wait so long maybe. I know u mentioned not doing scrog, which is fair enuff, but what about even just doing 4 plants on a 3 or 4 week veg?? I reckon they'd give near the same return as 2 plants vegged for 2 months, but without the need to trim lower popcorn buds & have issues with providing lower/side lighting. And u've got the width to have 4 medium ones as nicely spaced next to each other as u have 2 larger size ones, i reckon. My maths might well be wrong but i think a months less veg with 4 would give relatively similar returns to ur original 2, and obviously i wish u best of luck with the whole grow whatever - certainly overall it does sound a solid & promising set-up!

i would say with a lot of strains it will work well
and veg time will be down to strain you are growing,
you will need a lot of air flow thru and the air cooled tube
the heat will build up in there,
but keep temp right and you could pull a good yeild, a lot of good dank bud in that setup

(I lollipop/trim the nodes/leaves that dont get much light) i do this l few times in veg up to a week before i flower and it works very well
i find the best way to grow
you get a lot of head that yeild a lot but for this to work you need a strain that tops well

i would grow two of these

the one i have in veg, if i needed to keep it small i would re pot and veg for 2 weeks and flower, and it would fill you grow room just right with over 7 good large dank buds on each plant

hm, I was thinking -since i usually top for 4 main colas half way through veg. Meaning from the cloner they get transplanted into starter pots until they get started and grow then i transplant into foxfarm so they get food, then around 3-4 weeks later i top and use the tops as clones. So they do stay rather small during the 2 month period until the end when they are reaching the top of my veg box (its measurements are 3' x 2.2' x 3'3" LWH Ive been doing this for 8 months or so?! give or take and its been working really well. Also Dont usually end up with super bushy plants, they usually stay pretty compact until flower when nodes start to strech out instead of up. By th way, Im using the same strains ive been using throughout my grow 'experience' That would be Seedsman White Widow and Sour Diesel (forget the breeder) Non of my past harvest has gotten over the 5' mark or rather bushy since i prune. usually around 4' mark so im not afraid of the height, but rather the length.. im afraid it will be too cramped to allow light to reflect, understand me?

I also found a 48" x 24" x 60" tent, which ill be doing a measurement test as soon as i can to see if it will fit into my closet (not moved in yet) See the biggest reason im asking this is because i have absolutely ZERO spare room besides my closet. so i cant really exceed the depth of my closet besides maybe a few inches. Thats why im stuck using these types of dimensions otherwise id buy a 4'x4'.

However since im stuck, the smaller the better so if i can make do with the 36"x20" id rather do that than have a bigger more noticable 48"x24" IF I CAN.. im pretty sure the 48"24" wont allow one of the closet doors to close.

So since you got a little better idea of how big the plants are when i flip, do you think 2 would work in the smaller tent? or should i just get the 48"x24" and call it good and hope no one notices a huge black tent poking out of my closet?
