4x8 Tent Setup

[Ghetto Grower]

I needed advice on how should I setup a 4x8 grow tent. I have two air cool hoods and was wondering should I use two 600 watt HPS or two 1000 watt HPS???



Also should I go with eight plants in coco vegged for 7 weeks topped multiple times in 5 gallon buckets?

or

Should I go with 18 plants in coco vegged for 4 weeks in 3 gallon buckets and let them grow naturally?



Any advice will help

Please don't cross post the same thread in multiple forums.

I'd go with two 1kW bulbs, assuming you have proper ventilation, A/C (cooling) and adequate electrical requirements in the vicinity.

How many plants ?

 

[spek9]

If it's your first grow, I'd keep the plant count low, and just use basic LST methods. This will reduce any frustration if a problem crops up (ie. less management).

On the other hand, I prefer to grow as many as possible all at once

I personally like 600's better because they are slightly more efficient than 1000's.
