Hey guys so I’m working with what I got and didn’t expect to get 7 babies to hatch when playing around. So now that they are growing I am taking this very serious. I have a 3 x 4 tent

Send a follow. So we can help each other out

a 3x4? Never heard of that before..... 2x2, 3x3, 2x4, 4x8. Never a 3x4......

I really like the 315 cmh for the 3x3 tent.

Are those feminized seeds? Im guessing not which means you will most likely have to murder half of them. Maybe more, maybe less.

Yea honestly I have no idea. Just hoping for the best.(I hope not) But they look really nice lol

tent is 4x3 or 3x4 ; it’s pretty cool 2 compartments with removable center piece and tray use one side to veg and germinate

oh yeah if you keep it separated thats a 3x3 space perfect for a 315 cmh.

Oh man, that's enough space at all for that many maturing plants. Lol. If your strapped for cash you can go to ledgrowlightdepot.com and order a light and new tent and do the whole buy now pay later with sezzle. And you want at least 400-600 watts for that many plants.

Maybe half will be male. You could always grow to about 2 ft tall in veg then just flower them bitches. If ya aren't all that serious about it and just want some smoke.

Oh dear..

Don't think of it as light per plant, think of it as light per square foot of flowering space.

Roughly speaking, if the flowering space is 3x3 some options are.
450w of cheap led
320w of good led
400w of hps
315w of cmh

The "oh dear" was for the light you linked.

If you use something like that then look at the actual power consumption of the light and not the title in the advert.
Aim for 50w per square foot.
A 315cmh would be nicer.

No males create pollen which ruin your females and you get shitty bud packed with seeds.

Could run lights 12/12 their whole life. They stay nice n small that way, similar to the average auto as fast as i can tell (ive got one going right now)

That’s a good idea. How much have you gotten out of it ?
