hey this is my first grow on some angelmatic from the ministry of cannabis. i have them under a 150 watt HPS light. i also have a small florescent light for side lighting. i hope thats enough light. i have a vent pumping the hot air out of the light and i also have a fan blowing around the room. any advice is welcomed.

the side lighting isn't needed. you have enough for two small plants, but what i would recommend is close up your grow space and all the HPS light will get reflected back onto the plants

yeah, you have many options. you can build something or buy it. ie. build a frame and add your own store bought mylar, or you can't purchase a mylar grow tent

mylar is better, but you want to put it on something, unless you get the thick kind. the poly can be a wall itself.

i've never shopped with htg but good find

I bought some of those blankets off of amazon, like $12 for 15 blankets or something like that, but their a little bit of a pain to get up, like a previous poster mentioned, the best thing to do is attach it to something then put that up. For instance you could get a couple pieces of plywood, tape the mylar blankets to those and make a small room/closet/box or whatever w/ them.

i have a few more question, since my plant is an auto flower should i use a timer? right now i have it on 20/4. ive heard that you could just use 24/0 on auto flowers is it true? which is better and what should i do with the lighting when it starts flowering?
Thanks

if you are going to use a 24hr ON cycle then no, but if you want some dark time, yes you need one. i have autos at 18/6, i feel like they used the dark time to really use up the energy they've absorbed. you also want to keep the same light cycle throughout the entire grow
