Multiple tents or single tent

[skittles4321]

From your guys experience , which style would you prefer if you were going to set up an indoor grow . 3 separate 5x5 flower tents with a 630 cmh in each Or a 5x10 with 3 630 cmh lights. Just looking for advice or any experience you guys have!

I run perpetual so I have multiple 4x8s and veg tents. If you're planning to run one huge run start to finish then might as well just use one. Easier to control the entire room then a bunch of separate ones

I would like to run a perpetual also ,I assume heat would easier to deal with in separate tents , is one reason I ask , is cramming 3 light lights in one tent very difficult to manage.I have a separate veg tent , and would like to flower about 15 plants at a time I wanted to veg 15 together and put 5 in each 5x5 tent . If I didn’t do that , I figured I could do 15 in the 5x10 with 3 lights. But was worried about heat problems coming up ! If you were looking to flower 15 plants at a time in perpetual , would you split your flowering tents and share a common veg tent, or use one large flower and one veg tent.

I personally would use one large flower room and separate veg room. It's actually super hard to control the heat in my tents when I crank the lights up to their full 2kW. I run closed loop air cooled hoods and need a 6 inch extraction on the tent as well to keep temps down. Bigger room more area for the heat to diffuse and easier to control in my opinion.

Have you used cmh ?thats my main concern they are open, no air cooling

 

[Zoonotic6988]

Nope I have not. That's why I would be worried in such a small area. I can't even run both @ 600 watts each without the air cooling.

I don't use tent's. I section off rooms and use black/white poly, mylar.. Not bragging but even one plant in a 4X4 tent seems crowded. To ea His/Her own though.

What kind of cooling do you prefer ?

Central air Brother. Multiple oscilating fans though. My other op is a stand alone and it takes constant monitoring.... I'm in tx and the mornings are 40f and afternoons are 70f. Fkn nerve racking.
