Good luck. It’s always a learning process. Patience is key. Lots of good and often conflicting info here. I think conflicting because occasionally people are misguided, but mostly because there’s lots of right ways to do it.

edited to add: 3x3 is a good size. I’ve supplied myself with enough weed to smoke wastefully and to cook abundantly for the past two years with that size. I’ll admit I long for a bigger tent now, but 3x3 is good. 300w would be a good upgrade potentially. Have fun, dude

yeah that will be easy thats pretty much where i was before added a humidifier, ill have to get a small dehumidifier for flower tho.
What do you think of this one? I might get it its automatic water exhaust and it's pretty compact
My point is to automate as best as i can without sacrificing results so this guy is pretty big and will hold for a 2 week vacation possibly

thats pretty nice and the price is good for the size.. I keep a pretty close eye on my plants now I dont plan on going on vacation or anything, so my plan is to just keep an eye ask for help if i dont know whats going on.. try not to do too much or give them too much and yeah its just a learning process right now. I'm trying to automate it as much as i can but im still figuring out my environment as well. I aim to keep the kPa in veg around 0.7/8-1.0 and 1.0-1.2 in flower.. we'll see how it goes.

I personally think its too low of a kpa in our homegrowers situation. 0.8 kpa is very humid and since we don't have lab equipment and procedures It could very easily do more harm than good as in facilitating powdery mildew, molds, insects and more. I am running 1-1.1 veg and will flower at around 1.3-1.4. My take is that 10% more humidity could maybe promote a 10% increase in yield but that doesn't outweigh all the problems it could cause and potentially loose all harvest. That's me tho bro do your research g
