Outdoor grower here, starting indoors op and thought this would be a great place to ask this.

My question is so far to start off it's just a 5x5 tent and I was planning on using 16 sq. ft. of that space with 1 plant/sq.ft

I plan on throwing them straight into flower after 2-3 weeks rooting/vegging under a SOG.

I'm not sure if I should run a 600 watt or 1000 watt for this sort of set up. Suggestions?

Are you growing in a 5ft tall tent...600 might be easier to control temps and rh in that small of environment with the 6er

Great, thanks for the help guys!

What do you think about just getting a 1000W and making using of the dimmable ballast, seems like it could save me a penny in the long run?

I thought 1000 watts would of been overkill myself for a 4x4 area, but just wanted to double check with some of the more experienced guys.

Lil' expensive for just a reflective hood :{

Maybe I'll be able to find a used one somewhere.

Yea i hear you , but i honestly would recommend these hoods because of the quality of craftsmanship and performance(they can also be used with a 1000w bulb), sometimes spending a lil extra turns out to be worth it in the long run. Good luck on your grow.

Thanks, appreciate it.

I'll have to check it out more, it's MH/HPS conversionable I'm assuming, correct?

I can attest that this logic certainly applies to grow tents as well. I have pin holes all
over the door side of my original tent. I am buying Gorilla tents now.

No worries 1kemosabe. It's actually called a Bakfiets, well in The Netherlands it is. Basically translated it means bike with a tray, lol. It comes from a company called, wait for it.....www.bakfiets.nl :)
This is the one we have, https://www.bakfiets.nl/modellen/cargobike-lang it's called a cargo long. Cost nearly 2k euros but we decided not to have a car since we live in Amsterdam so it's a no brainer. You then buy what they call a "tent" to sit on the cargo tray which gives the wee dudes rain and wind cover.:)

We love it and wouldn't be without it. I can get the dudes from a-b as fast as a car. And I can even go to the garden centre for supplies when needed...as fast as a car. Driving is a PITA in Amsterdam. If I need a car I rent one. Reminds me...anyone needing a garage in Amsterdam I have one for rent lol.
