Hey all, new member/grower here seeking a little bit of advice from the community here.
i am currently running a small 4x4 tent with one 300w GalaxyHydro LED, and i have four autos in 5 gal pots under it. I'm only a week into veg, and they seem to be reacting well (no real basis for comparison though), i know the 300w will not take me all the way through to completion AND have decent yields.
My first question: Should i buy another 300w, a 600w, or should i move to a 600w MH/HPS?
I have plans for future expansion if i can develop my green thumb... i have two rooms available (one for both stages of growth), one is 150 Sq Ft (14 Sqm), and the other is 200+(19+ Sqm). i want to make the most efficient use of my electricity costs, but also maximizing my yields. i plan on running normal photoperiod plants so i can take advantage of cloning. i may have delusions of grandeur at this point, but it cant hurt to make plans now, so i can have a rough estimate of the financial investment needed to pull this off.
Second question: should i just build tents inside the space, or use the space as it is?
I'm sure i will have more questions as i progress my skill/knowledge. My ultimate goal is to hit the ground running when the eventuality of legalization becomes a reality, as well as having the best medication for myself, and my patients.
Attached is a pic of my current auto @ day 7, any input is appreciated, i thank you for your time.
