Hi guys / girls .. sorry if this is a mood-killer.. Need an opinion as to whether i'll be alright with 2000w + 400w lighting for my grow in a flat where i won't be using any other electric? I gotta get the equipment sorted in a couple days so i need reassurance!! Its on "off-peak" key fob meter thingy.

Also if interested I'm planning to do 2 2x2 tents with 1000w each flowering little clones on 3' x 3' flood n drain tables.

Will be starting a journal soon i should think for this which would be my first real grow.

Any comments / advice welcome from anyone.. thought id squeeze this in here. Thanks!

I think in a flat you'll be pushing it. But that's just my thought. There's people on this thread that will give u a better answer. Let me know when your journal is up and running I'll follow your grow.

If it helps i used to run about a 2500W grow (lights,fans etc) in a flat alongside normal electricity usage in a flat n it was fine, only time anything popped was if the washing machine got put on whilst the grow was on.

You put my mind at ease for the night! Now all i gotta do is work out these tents and their fan sizes! for 1000w per tent.

Thanks for the input.

again i may be able to help here lol, most ppl with a 1000W go for roughly a 5x5 tent, 6"fan n filter for exhaust and something like a 4" for putting fresh air in lol

This may possibly be the stupidest question ever but im sure you mean 5 x5 ft? is this the standard unit of measurement for all tents when they are being sold? I thought something like dr240 was 240cm x 240 cm or something... 5 x 5m is huge for a 1000w surely? and if you mean 5ft x 5ft what is a tent model you would suggest that is available in uk? i dont know any sold as 5 x5?!

the dr240 is 2.4x1.2. its the one i got, ive got 2x 600w lights in there with an 8" rvk fan. i think ive seen the 2.4x2.4 but for the cash you'd be better off getting 2x 2.4x1.2 tents. you shouldnt need an intake fan beacause the extractor will pull air in as long as you have inlet pipes. i wouldnt think 1000w is enough for something 2.4x2.4 either mate. just my opinion tho

I reckon the 2.4x2.4 u could get away with 3-4 600ws, the 1000w wouldn't cover the area IMO and if u went for a few 1000w u could have a few heat issues or maybe not cos its fuckin Baltic outside

Perhaps 2 x dr120s with a 1000w each would be the way to go. Think most run 600s in them but they are a perfect size for a 1000w. I would agree with mrt, no point in putting a 1000w in a xxl tent 2.4 x 1.2 unless on a light mover as the coverage wouldnt be great, far better off using 2 or even 3 600s in them for max coverage. Morning all, cuppa tea then im off down the greasy spoon for some breckie, hank marvin.
