I want to start a discussion about small tent grows. Obviously thats kind of vague so Id like to break the topic down into a three main areas of focus... lighting, ventilation, and grow style.
Maybe sharing some of my current thoughts would help get this going...
In this particular situation the grow is contained to a 2×2.5×7 gorilla tent. For lighting my initial instinct is to use 2 2' 4 Bulb T5 for veg and 400 dimmable hps for flower. I am planning to use an aircooled reflector and its the only thing that I dont already have from previous grows. It has been difficult locating one the allows enough room on both sides for duct. The smallest ive found is 22 5/8 between the ends of the flanges. Given the tent is 30'' the long way and the ducting will likely be 6" that should be interesting??? On to ventilation, which is driving me crazy. I would love to suck air through a carbon filter hanging above the light then through a 6" inline and blow the air through the reflector and out of the tent. However im wondering if this would be ok. The air coming through might be warmer that ideal but given the small space, minimizing equipment is a goal of mine. Finally as far as growing style whats most attractive to me is a variation of sog with 4 plants per square foot in 6" square pots flipped to 12/12 at 8-10" tall.
Im interested in opinions related to heat and ventilation, as well as other growing styles besides sog that could be used to maximize yield (maintaining quality) in such a small space.
