No problem. I am in Canada so 4 plants is my limit. I have tried a 2 / 4 and a 5 /5, ended up settling on a 4 / 4 as it seems to foot the bill. Here is my humble little grow that is just finishing up.

Sorry! Wrong thread! I'm in the tent-size section looking to size up. My bad

I would say dream about getting pounds but when awake shoot for just raising healthy plants until harvest. Don't get caught up in the numbers, only in making healthy plants. They will weigh what they weigh and in time you will gain skills that will allow you to get good yields.

Wow. Maybe read my threads and responses before discounting what I was saying. It was obviously a mistake. No one is trying to sabotage you. Good luck starting out!
Wow, if I assumed things by people's screen names....

Looks good man. That's what I want to try and build my first grow up to. When changing your smaller pots into bigger ones, how many plants did you hold in one pot?

My bad. Apologies

Space and # of plants have an effect on yield but the light you get is the biggest factor. You can only grow so much bud under whichever light you get. This is when it's useful to tell someone to aim for 1 gram per watt but expect less their first grow. Totally arbitrary yet fairly accurate. What light are you looking at, specifically?

One pot for one plant, you don't want the roots competed for space. Just takes time to learn bud so being here researching is a good start. What are you planning for lights, fans, and filtering? What nutes are you thinking of? What medium, soil or coco?

I've been told to mix the soil with Coco. I'm planning on getting organic soil. The led lights I was looking at something starting from 500-600 watts, any recommendations on brands? I'm just researching on her for filtering. Any suggestions?

Thanks man. So should I plan on getting the more expensive lights? I've been looking at some led lights 500-600 watts. Any specific brands that you would recommend? I'm from the UK

It's all a matter of budget. I run an HLG 600 in my 4 / 4 and it does amazing in that space. I prefer the AC Infinity fans, a 4" will do, a 6" will do much better and be much quieter. What are the ambient temps and humidity of the room you are going to use? That will tell us if you need heating or cooling. Does noise matter, there are much cheaper fans but they tend to be noisier. There are alternative lights through places like Alibaba that can be purchased for half the cost of mine and do very well. I would also pick either soil or coco but that is me. There is a UK light shop advertising here called @LEDGROWSHOP.CO.UK , they have been good to people here. Perhaps talk to them about what they can do for your budget.

Cheers. It happens! Let's move forward! Hope the tent works out.
For what it's worth, I got that nickname MAAAAAAANY moons ago in my energized, unrestrained skateboarding youth. It just stuck. Oh, the rebel days...I rock New Balances and Zip vests now, Lol. Almost 40. Can still bust some stair sets. The physical payment when I fall is just far greater.

So I've been told to do higher humidity during veg growth then lower humidity during flower growth.
I've brought a timer where it sets the temps every 12 hours.

One thing to consider is the importance of matching a lamp with your tent. Tents are cheap and going one size up won't cost much more. However, covering that extra area with light will require a lot more watts to reach the same intensity you're getting in a smaller tent.

A 4 X 4 tent is almost 1.5 squared meters. If the estimated yield from the seed description is 450-550g, you could pull almost 675-825 g's or roughly 1.5-1.8 lbs. Note - the descriptions might put a rosy number on days to flower of 60 days but count on it being at least 70 so take it for what it's worth.
Tip - Learn the biggest problem (pests, humidity, heat) growing in your neck of the woods & strive to prevent that problem. An ounce of prevention is worth 453.59 grams of cure.
