Hey all,
I would like to seek advice on some issues, I am a first time grower and been researching all different aspects of a tent, but it seems the more I read the more confused I get; one thing I am sure of is to start growing using soil.

** Space wise I got lots of space; I have a vacant room that is 20X20X14.

** Power consumption won't be an issue, since I run a generator 24/7

** I can't dig any vents or holes in my walls or ceiling so a tent is required

** Humidity in general is very high here

** Looking for a setup that can allow me to grow 10 plants and have the highest yield possible

______________________________________________________________________________________

Where I got confused:

1) Determining the size of the tent or grow area, so I can provide the proper spacing for the plants and maximize the usage of light.

2) some tents I came across by provide two or three compartments for different stages (veg, flowering); is it advisable or should I go for 2 separate tents, any recommended tents.

3) Lights, is there a maximum limit I can go for the watt/sqf or the more the better

4) LED or HPS or HID, I've seen the duoloux 600 and the KIND K5 XL 1000 but then I read reviews and some ppl mentioned they are just advertised properly and nothing special about them. Any recommendations

5) Do I need to worry about full spectrum or not for different stages or will full spectrum be good for all stages.

6) Do I need a CO2 generator?

running a generator for power consumption is often a very costly option, which could really influence your setup choices

ten 1000 watt HPS bulbs with 10 plants could harvest 20 LBS if done correctly, but that's easier said than done

I got no choice, where I live the power is very bad and we run gens in all cases... it's provided by the company that I work for anyway...

Good point, I'll get a stabilizer for that ty..
also magnetic ballasts are better for any voltage fluctuations as well
just don't get digital ones..
may want to invest in a solar system, growing via gasoline or diesel is expen$ive as hell
typically 2-3 times the energy costs as a traditional electrical setup
diesel is what you want for sure..
those are pricey too
