Ok.. Hey everyone the list of items i currently have include a DR100 Dark room tent that is about 3.3'x3.3'x6.3' ... 3x3 basically... I have a bunch of LEDS.. We are discussing my flowering room so Ill only include the equipment that will gointo the flower room. I have a 120W LED Triband panel two 2700K 50W CFLS and one 10.0 CFL UVB bulb. I have a 250W HPS and Agromax bulb that has about 32000 Lumens at the bulb..

Thats about 2938 Lumens per SQ foot.. Without considering the LED's (dont use lumens) or the CFLS

Watts per square foot is about 54 if you consider everything included.

I have all of the necessary venting equipment and everything else needed. Would you say this is plenty of ammo to go to war well equiped or should i attempt to bring in a 400W HPS instead of the current 250W.. Or would it be to big for the area? I am currently attempted to get HTG to swap the 250W for a 400W Electric since i have not used it yet.


Looking for opinions.. what would you do with this space and do you think this is enough ammo to go to war or should i go back to the bunker and try again?

I would stick with the 250 watter that you currently have. I think that light you have is more then adequate for your set up.

ya the 250 is plenty and you could throw those cfls in for the flower stage, just to kick it up a notch. as far as lights go you have plenty of ammo. other things you might want for a small space is square pots and some good intake outake fans. what other ammo do you have? soil seeds nutes

Yes i plan on throwing in the UVB and CFL's in during flowering.. I also have a 50W All blue LED and 50W Triband LED i will use somewhere.. more likely in veg and clone chamber but not sure.. lets not worry about that .. sticking to flowering here:hump:

Lets see... As for fans i have two 170 CFM inline fans to blow through the air sealed/glass sealed 250W HPS Which will be a complete independent system from the exaust of the tent.. it will just blow right through the tent and be vented out of the room never mixing with the air in the tent * AWESOME * :blsmoke::blsmoke::peace::joint:

As for the exaust fan its a The GrowBright 6" Inline Fan uses 110 watts and pushes 424 cfm of air, flange size 6". that will be paired up with the CAN 33 filter.. dunno how i will set that BIG BOY up.. 23 pounds and its like FREEKING HUGE.. had i known that i would have never got it.. i hate to think of hanging that thing up inside my tent and sucking airout ( best way) but i may have to do it reverse because that damn thing is HUGE..

For medium im gonna start with Fox farm Ocean forest in pots.. i have tons of different size pots and also 1 and 7 gallon grow bags.. i think thats what i got atleast..

I have Gen hydro liquid nutes that i could possibly use.. the 3 pack whatever they are i forget.. I also have Foxfarm 3 pack.. umm big bloom tiger bloom and grow big plus the three soluable additives open sesime chaching and ummm.. beasty bloomz i think? Yea anyway... I also have a TDS meter to check nute levels ( i think that will work) tools and well i cant think of anything else.. Is there any other peices of the puzzle your wondering about?

whats the best way to go about useing a 250Wer like this in this kind of space " 3'x3'... how many plants would fit max? Indica indoor kept pruned or condensed somehow.. i guess..


Oh yea Seeds.. Well i only have 2 of each of the following.. i figured 2 would be good incase i FUCK up and lose it ill have another shot to make that mother for clones.. I have .....

2 Barneys farm G13xHaze
2 Barneys farm Blueberry
2 The Church ( barneys farm?)
1 AK47x Low Rider
1 Pure gold (free)
1 Blue venom (free)


On order i have 10 White widdow ( WOW EXPENSIVE CANT AFFORD IT YET)
also i have 10 Aurora indica , 4 papaya and something else.. i dont remember

I do not have square pots unfortuantly .. how many round pots do you think i can fit and actually... how big of pots do full size plants need? Like 12 inches? I HOPE

evrything sounds good to me man. i think you could fit 3 plants in your tent. i would grow the ak-47/low ryder (isnt this called easy ryder?) and 2 others. your space might be a little small with that light, cuz i think you want it a good 6in+ above your plants(not sure cuz i like to use cfls myself). the ryder would be good for this kind of space and with the other one or two youll just want to top, lst and flower erly

i would use the foxfarm soil and nutes, as almost evryone who uses them has great results.

did i miss anything? any other questions?

You really think i can only fit 3 plants in a 3.2 foot by 3.2 foot space? Man i was kind of counting on making 6.. Are you sure about this calculation.. are 12 inch pots big enough for full grown plants?

You gotta keep in mind that 3.2x3.2 is the space you have without equipment. Remember that your space gets smaller as you add stuff in there. And yes 12" pots are good you can even go 10" pots (converts to 3 gallon pots I think) if you want to fit more then 3 plants.

3 Fucking plants?!?! that is such garbage.. man what would be better a SOG style and get a ton of small clones and 12/12 them right away or what? 3 plants sounds like a fucking major buzz kill

i said 3 plants cuz i was thinking ahead you could fit more smaller plants. def more if you had more than 1 easy ryder seed. put the pots in the tent to see how many really fit, i didnt calculate anything i just figured 1 plant per sq foot. id say grow 3 including that ryder and take clones from it

I can't comment on SOG as I've never done it. Maybe a more experienced grower will shine some light on this with an answer. If you're insisting in putting a bunch of plants in there then I'd suggest using grow bags. I know you have 1 gallon and 7 gallon. Get a size adequate for your space to fit the amount you desire unless someone else has a better suggestion. You'll have restricted airflow with to many plants in there though.

anyone else have an opinion?
i dont think i would do the low ryde with your other plants to begin with just because it is a shorter plant and you might have a hard time keeping your 250 the right distance from your plants and you dont want your low ryder to stretch out on yah, also is your low ryder autoflowering because if it is its gonna need a different light schedule i do believe auto's usually run ruffly a 20on 4 off through out the entire cycle.. thats just my 2 cents i could be wrong :blsmoke:

yep it is an auto flower variety so that wouldnt work well. I am thinking about doing Bio-Pots now.. dunno how many i could fit but we will see
