Hello everyone,
I recently purchased this tent from Amazon at a great price but there is a mismatch with the lighting. This tent is 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep so in total we have 8 sq ft; according to common knowledge the optimum lighting for any grow space is 50W per sq ft so a 400W light would suit this space perfect since 8sq ft X 50W = 400W. The tent has 4 inch holes all throughout for ventilation and exhaust. Searching through out amazon and other websites for a 400W MH/HPS I could NOT find any cool tube or anything that had a 4 inch fitting, seems as though all the 400W and up cool tubes and reflectors have 6 inch fittings; so now I have a 4x2 tent with 4 inch exhaust holes but no 4 inch fitting 400W light to go with it, unless I make the 6 inch cool tube somehow fit with the 4 inch exhaust holes in the tent. Someone needs to inform the tent making people that a 8 sq ft tent needs at least 400W and they do NOT come in 4 inch fittings. Would anyone have any suggestions as to how to proceed or know of any 400W+ cool tubes with 4 inch fittings or maybe make them fit into each other somehow? Thanks for your time everyone, please don't be shy with your thoughts, sharing is caring.
