Since im doing it in an extra bedroom I have a little bit of space to work with. Im only using a 4x4 tent and one 600 watt mh/hps conversion light. Plan on ordering 10 fem seeds..not sure which ones yet. I have an inline fan at 165cfm sucking out the hot air through my cooltube. I've used a 400 in the past but never a 600. I want more yield and better buds! Help me out someone because im not trying to invest a whole lot of money.. I mean I already have the tent, the nutes, the containers.. What else is there besides tlc..
I really would like to know anyones SECRETS they've learned so I do not have to go by trial and error, and can think of that person as a mentor.
Thanks for reading this if you did btw..

Seriously, if you had a 400 watt, you would be wishing you had a 600. I recommend a vented cooltube for heat control. Oh, wait....that's what you are doing. Cool.

Mystery, let me first start off by saying, YES. i've seen people do thousand watters in that space(cooltubed) you will be perfect. theres a cat on this website that harvested close to a p in a sq meter(3x3). check it out https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/252796-3-x-much-1-tent.html

you should do alright, how many plants ru tinking of growing?? i have a 4x4 tent with
two 600watters in there with air cooled hood of course ( small sun systems 2) they
work good for a small area, i run my hoods hooked up to each other, but right now i
run them one light on one light off and switch them every hour because of temps,
but i also have about 50 small plants on a 4x4 tray
but soon i will be able to run both at the same time..the 600watters work very well i
used to run a 1000watter in there the 600s are the way to go...meangreen.

in my 4x4 tent I run a 600 lumatek in an eight in cool tube off ebay auction for 60 bucks with shipping! From HTG. Anyway I also use an 8 in fan to keep airconditioning costs lower and I exhaust right out the room fast or it heats up in no time. I also have another 4x4 tent with a 400 lumatek and a 6 in fan and a 6 in cooltue that I use as a veg tent. I am going for trees as I am medical. Hydro dwc looks to be the best but I am in soil for now.

Just one more question...
how long did it take you to set up your weekly harvest...7 weeks I'm guessing? a set of clones every week? sorry for the noob question...i want to dial this in for sure...

well once a week i take 6+ clones, then pull the best rooted 5 from the ez cloner and put them in
to veg, take the ones from veg and put them in to flower,i still have a few weeks to
fill her all the way up should take about 8-9 weeks, the clones is the hard part.
some get weak and i tosh them so
make sure u take more then u need and just tosh or give away the rest..when it full
ur still under 100 "plants"
