Thinking of buying this kit for £240, how many plants will it fit?

I am in the US and I can only picture things in ft so excuse me for this explanation and breakdown...your tent is of a very similar dimension to mine...mine is 4 ft long and 2 feet deep and 5 ft tall...the one linked is 3 ft long 3 ft deep and 5 feet tall...so you have a foot of depth I have in length...I think depth is better, so your tent would be better than mine in the way of distribution for plant number I think, but I can squeeze in enough pot room in flower in 3-5 gallon pots to do 6, but that is really pushing it...I like to do 2 or 3 medium sized plants...but I can't transplant into final pots until right before flower, or I won't have room for clones taken and what have you in veg...so I have a lot of plants in veg, all manner of plants as well, but in flower only a couple...that way they aren't all squished up and light starved...you can put more plants in a space and get a similar yield as if you had just grown 1 or 2 plants larger, it is a preference thing...I can't seem to settle on which I like best...so I do medium plants with a small thrown in every once in awhile for fun and just to see how it turns out...I flowered a 6 in tall clone and it looks great...it is like a big cola, but instead of growing out of another plant it is growing right out of the ground. I really like it...it makes me want to do this more often...I may or may not take pics...I mean I will take some, but sharing them is a hairy issue with all the malware warnings today

ya know what it is actually a little bigger than that...at 1.2 m it is closer to 4 ft long and deep...so it is just better than mine totally...anyway, you should be able to comfortably flower 6 plants in there I would think...if you did them the exact way I do my plants...so, you will have to play around and see how many you want to have in there at a time really..

Not too shabby! Need a oscillating fan..prune pot's and fert's but SWEET Not sure of the exchange rate (USA)here but really nice..looks like magnetic ballast but I have no problen with that to start but you will want a luminark adjustable ballast at some point.....As for plants sog maybe 64 and scrog 6-8 and for 30" plants (Large) 2-4each..Also depends on growing media....weather DWC or Hydro or soiless/soil...I grow this size but in homemade...heat was an issue for me and I installed A.C. 5000 BTU 99 dollar's american..but yield's are awesome..Hope this help's any question's ask me!

and I know is that in the US you can usually buy the stuff separately and save some money...I am not sure for the UK though...

Thanks for the info mate, I'm gonna go with 6 I thinks.
 
I have the exact same tent. Well, with at the same dimensions at least...

I was able to fit 6 plants in there initially, but they got too big, so i had to take 2 out, so basically it was good for 4 plants from start to finish....

You could probably fit 6 plants in here if you were going for a SOG.

hope i helped. :)

dont buy that kit mate the filter is a cheapo shit 1 and the fan isnt good enough for a 600
Your an experienced grower so I should probably listen to you. Although its in the UK and the general temp is usually lower. What starting package would you recommend?

Thanks

I bought one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYDROPONICS-4-EXTRACTOR-DUCT-FAN-CARBON-FILTER-KIT-/270806707378?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item3f0d566cb2#ht_2361wt_1270
The fan worked fine for my 400 watts, I couldn't say if it's good enough for a 600 watt. The filter is still in use, for about a year now in a 1m x 1m tent. and still doing the job.
I'd agree with del66666 to get a quality fan though. The one above was a little noisy so I put it in a lagged box, which muffled it a bit. And I'm not sure if it can take being on 24 hours a day like a quality fan could...wouldn't want to set fire to your grow with an over heated fan eh?

Well its how much again u said 250 pounds or do u guys use euros too? Oh or r u in aussie. Well anyways thats around $500 US give or take right? I got a tent about that same size here in the states for only like $100, and my light for like $150 400w electric dual balast & both bulbs. But I just think if u shop around and get ur stuff urself instead of the kit u might get some better stuff and save a couple bucks. Like they had that flowering nute r u even sure if its sumptin ur gonna wanna use. I just think ppl sell kits like those cause they get cheap stuff and make good money off it, kinda like those ppl who sell da lil 4oz bottles of FF trio on ebay and stuff like that.

Thanks for the reply, i'm in the UK and just worked it out to USD,
240.00 GBP =376.417 USD
I know what you mean about adding crap in I might not need, but I kinda need everything, apart from the nute they give maybe.

Im a lil confused on this, iv'e read a few replies where people in the US are using a 600w without ANY extraction at all :\ and since we live in sunny old england... it should be better still
