i have a similar plan because that set is both mh and hps so was thinkin veggin with mh then flowering with hps like you said... does that seem to work alright?
thats good, but its always best to have two closets on the go.
cos 1 grow with vegg and flower time is upto 4 months plus. its a long time between grows.

so with the 400 wat hps i could get 6.. which was my initial plan not wanting to go too huge the first couple times. maybe time to rethink the tent haha..

yah once i get it down i could stage the other veg 2 months in so just easy rotation every couple months. and at that rate.. i will never have to buy a sack again lol

600 watt for 18 plants or less in a 5by5ft space maximum
1000 watt for 30 plants or less in a 6.5by6.5ft space maximum
but for better results its better to follow what crazy said.

keep in mind, the space given in the tent, which either if i get or not i am trying to replicate, which is 36" X 20" X 64" roughly 3ft by 1.75ft by 5.25ft.. so not sure but crazy said 400 hps 6 plants, what size? and skitz had 18 plants in 5x5 with 600 watt...

well a 400watter is ok for a 3x3 space which is 9 square,600watts is ok for 5x5 space etc but thats pushing it!its better to do what crazy said for much better results!the space you have would be very cramed for 10 plants!youd have to do a sog grow so basically just focus on the top colas which you probably dont wana do!so 6-8 max in that space will be good.and like crazy said 4weeks veg time!

start a plant 2 flower, every 2 weeks, take time to set up and get going but worth it.
im doing 2 out 2 in.
so i get a 2 plant harvest every 2 weeks.
a plant a week to smoke. all the rest is gravey.
dont rush plan what your doing, and it will pay.
plants take as long as they take.
yes, get a 400hps and vegg for 3 to 4 weeks, i you mite get away with 10 plants.
but do them in stages.
so all the plants arnt big at the same time, more room more plants.
start 2 plants into flower every 2 weeks, and after 8 weeks.
you will have a harvest every 2 weeks.

I have the 58 x 58 with 2 400w hps, with a vortex fan.
I have two issues with the highgrade tent, for one, it is made by the same people that make the homebox (or they copied it seam for seam) with some roof reinforcements missing, I reinforced the roof to hold my air cooled 400's, highgrade said they aren't available so I made my own.
the second issue I have is a minor one, but the middle zipper has no stops on the bottom and will come off if pulled down to far, easily fixed tho.

Hello all, I have a 58"x58"x78.5 grow tent in the garage, it takes up a corner but not in the way. I got it on craigslist for $300. It came with htg 600w air cooled (euro)? light and tent has vents in roof for fixture, also w/vortec fan 6", big carbon filter I think the can33. Its huge! Both mh conv. and hps bulbs. He gave me timers, hydroton, flex vent tubing bubblers, tubing, some nutes. I think I got a great deal for 300.00. The tent and light are more then that alone. and the carbon filter is like 125 new. I cant seem to find the exact tent on any website, thought it was way cool to have the light fixture vented through the ceiling of the tent, just added a desk fan and you can feel the heat coming out of other side. I am very happy with it and dont have to worry about spilling stuff in my closets now. just my .02. Oh and I dont think the plants care where they grow ie closet or tent. The tent might keep in co2 better then a closet.

Nice pics. Very full looking. BTW just wanted to add that I have tried the 4x4x2 hut without the kit and it works fine for me. Not cheap at all. Didn't get it from HTG Supply but it only ran me 100. Try looking on google shopping.
