He isn't going to run two tents and do well. Single grow/tent cmh with steady climate is the best all round option for him atm. People can afford to be fussy these days.. badly grown hps won't cut it, nor will perpetual weed grown under insufficient lighting and climate.
You must be one of those people who never learned how to use a HPS correctly...
What does this mean?
It means a lot of people dont understand what it costs to run differant appilances or things like tvs and speakers. I know how many watts everything in my house costs to use and i use fans not air conditioners. Lights instead of heaters. I see people with 2 air conditioners in their house and automatically know their bill is higher than mine. My bill is under 100$ a month. Average for the area is 150-200. Up to 400 in winter is very common here. People just dont manage the temps and draws of the things they have ive found
This is pretty true, and a relativly recent change. The majority of accounts are less than 2 years old and in that time the led crowd has taken control of info shared purely by sheer numbers of posts.Peeps can say whatever, all advice on heat and light is lame on this site. Until then the only answer is cool the room you have your tent in, if electric is like 2bucks a kilowatt hour then obviously ye be Fuct
..Not trying to be a dick. Can you explain to me why you think wind is unnatural to cannabis?Most of us can grow but collectively we havent quite cracked it, i can only hint at that a part of our info here is wrong.
Our inlines got dialled down as all but the lightest winds force transpiration and this is alternate to the transpiration we want. One question was 'was wind natural or not to weed plants', turns out its not. One formulates a conclusion that extraction need only be for heat removal and at that level the plant has more than enough Co2.
I definitely disagree. A leaf rustling breeze is very helpful in many ways. Wind may not be the right word, but still air is very bad for them even if temps are not a concern. Bud density, oils, an stems all take hits of there is not enough air movement. All that leads to less yield of a lesser result.Most of us can grow but collectively we havent quite cracked it, i can only hint at that a part of our info here is wrong.

Wind is also necessary to prevent bud rot in some natural environments.
Right, I know I've grown plenty of 3-5 lb outdoor plants in pretty windy conditions. Windy enough to shred tarps. There's a point when too much wind does hurt you and starts stunting buds and breaking branches, but your not really going to hit that simply with large exhaust fans... ever visit a nursery where they have fans built into the walls that are over 5 ft wide making true wind?
Then the answer must lie in what happens if grown in a stagnant air environment, does a leaf die or does it cling to my alternate conclusion?
Having grown with and without fans, every single time the plants have been better with moderate airflow. I've gone so far as growing in completely still air conditions in cabinets 2x4 ft. They grow fine, but not as good as with moderate air movement.

I give clear limits which come from cited work on the subject of 0.3 - 0.5m/s.
I don't give a monkeys if you are growing with 400W or 4000W hps, Inefficiency is inefficiency. Unless you are growing hps vert cage the tech is unjustifiable for home growers other than budget growing or a stepping stone. The rest are people like you who don't want to move on and that's fine.. but don't try to make hps out to be the front runner when it isn't. Other than vert the best you can do is a stadium effect but 1/5th of the lightW, maybe more is still wasted. If outside temps are already a challenge you are not only wasting 1/5 light W you are also wasting added A/C or fanW to take care of that wasted light W. Cmh still suffers to some of the above inefficiency but the spectrum and quality increase off sets it far more and is one of the reasons hps is unjustifiable other than above exceptions. But that's cmh vert aside.
Id believe more if this site was clear on its science, until then i can point out inaccuracies and hope that one day this is cleared up.
Just as I thought, you never learned how to use hps.. I could point out where and why your wildly off the mark, but i don't think you'll even understand..
