Hi everyone, to get right down to it im purchasing a grow tent its 4x8
I want to make sure I have everything i need before I move out of my house so when I move into my new place I can set up right away...
I want to use a cool tube thinking of 1000w or two 600w ? Im moving into a lil town house I dont want the electricity bill to be above average I am a lil paranoid I obviously dont want to get caught and my girlfriend is tripping me out.. Also for that area how many plants you think I can grow?
Money isn't a huge concern im willing to invest for my tent, just dont wanna get caught....
Any suggestions on what else i can throw in the tent, carbon filters,fans, etc etc...
I wont be using c02 this first grow so im up for anything but that right now I am a newbi I haven't grown anything before, I want a decent size setup and grow... Im not looking to sell just wanna smoke alot without having to pay ridiculous prices...
Any help or suggestions I greatly appreciate I keep reading all your threads, and when i have all the gear ill deff. make a journal...

1000 watts is a lot of heat but 2 600s will make even more heat. The 2 600s will cover more area but you will have to have some really good ventilation to cool those. I would recommend an 8" (around 600 cfm) centrifugal fan with intake and exhaust both outside. You will need a medium to large carbon filter to control those odors. The number of plants you grow depends on how long you veg for, what system you grow with, and how much of that room you intend to use for flowering. Sounds like you are in the planning process, good luck to you!

If you plan on runnng this grow for a while, you might wanna consider 2 smaller tents for clones and mothers.
