As of now ive figured everything out for my first grow. Was gonna do the 27"x27" tent with the HLG 135w V2. But now im considering the 2’Dx4’W tent. That way i can grow two different plants. So looking for recommendations for lights that would cover 2’x4’

Couple questions sixpack. Do you use autos or photo? How many plants can you maintain in that size tent and whats ur average yiekds?

I overstuff my grows. I have more plants crammed in a small space. My first two grows were autos, my grows since have been photos. My first two grows with autos, which was about 12 plants total, produced about about 9 months supply of herb for my wife and I (about 21 qt jars). I never weighed the final product, but given that we went through about 2oz per month prior to growing our own, I figure it got me a little over a pound. My third grow was five LA Condfidential photos that I started outdoors and finished indoors. I had a lot of insect problems. I got six jars of weed, plius a jar of coconut infused oil, and about 10ml of concentrate, which lasted about 3 months. I figure I had reduced yield becasue of the bug problems (mites, aphids, and gnats) but the potency was a big step improvement over the autos. I just harvested six Maui Wowie plants, that I scrogged. This time I battled white powerdy mildew, but I dont think it had an overall negative effect on yield and quality. I got 9 jars of weed so far and a jar of coconut oil extract. I am very please with the quality of the high. I have a bunch more branches in the fridge that I will dry and make some concentrate out of. This will more than bridge to may next harvest in March when I pull down my three goal leafs. My goal is to continually harvest every 6 weeks. https://ilgmforum.com/t/first-time-grower-mistakes-white-widow-auto-indoor-soil-400w-hps-400wmh/16354/83 https://ilgmforum.com/t/2cd-grow-indoor-soilless-400mh-400hps-white-widow-auto-colorado-cookie-auto-pineapple-express-auto/16961/27 https://ilgmforum.com/t/3rd-grow-outdoor-veg-indoor-flower-5-la-confidential-fem-soilless/24769/16 [image] 4th grow, ILGM fems Maui Wowie/Gold Leaf/Cali Dream/Chronic Widow three-stage perpetual grow attempt, indoor, soilless Grow Journals Hi @fano_man The roots are above the soil because when I moved them from 5 gallon to 10 gallon pots I tried out a hypothesis that I would leave some of the top of the root ball above the new soil like and that the root ball would “sink” as the new soil settled and maximize the amount of space the plant would have to root out. My hypothesis didn’t pan out. Things settled, but not how I was envisioning it may. The result is the raisedroot ball that does look bonsai-ish neat. Your right I got …

Man those are awsome results! I was going to do autos but from my research i think what ill do is plant a few and see what survives. Probably do 2-3 plants. I got so “in my opinion” lucky my wife doeant even drink. So its all mine lol i smoke about an ounce a month. So as long as this harvest keeps me till the next ill be a happy camper

And to answer your original question, a 2x2 plot is good aveage space for one plant. I currently am more at 1x2.

@Sixpackdad do you by chance have a journal going with those 4 QB132’s? I’m really excited about starting on this soon and am just interested in reading more about this light or results from it.

[image] 4th grow, ILGM fems Maui Wowie/Gold Leaf/Cali Dream/Chronic Widow three-stage perpetual grow attempt, indoor, soilless Grow Journals @Sixpackdad. Absolutely. I may use at 50/50 water again but I’m nervous to do that after seeing what happened last grow. v This is my journal. I’m also in the grow off although my plants are just babies and won’t go under them for another six weeks. My Maui wowie clones are currently under the QB. I’ve only had that QB light in play for about 2.5 weeks since I built it.

@Sixpackdad. My sincerest apologies on ur journal. I missed that part. :v:

@dbrn32 sorry to bother you again lol Would 2 of these( QB304 QUANTUM BOARD & SLATE 2) be better than 4 qb132w boards? They say that can be powered up to 150w each. Also I’ve changed my set up. Was going to do a 2x4 tent with the 4 QB 132w boards we discussed. But I’m going to grow in a different closet (wifes choice lol) this one will fit 3x3 tent. Any ideas?

Could do the 4 132w QBs in a square pattern. Just looked up the sizes. They would fit.

Lighting question. So indecisive lol
