NEED HELP! first timer

@Wannabe would use it for a 4x4? Or 3x3? Also is VIVISUN a good brand for tents?

You want 40 to 50 watts per sq ft. So that would rock a 2x3. Its 40 watts per sq ft in a 2x3. You could probably do 3x3 because the techs good. Vivosun are good tents.

You can get the 4x4 tent and cover a 2x3 area. Leaves plenty of room for fans and whatnot.

So with the above I should be able to get a 4x4? How many plants would that cover?

If you got two of those it probably would flower a 4x4 @Bunnymalo well 4 total. It will veg a 4x4 just fine.

Marshydro ts3000 about 400 bucks and will flower a 4x4 great. I have had great sucess with these lights and so have many of my buddies. It is also a qb style light but no building.

With blurples and MH/HPS this is true. With the latest tech LED’s the metric is closer to 30 watts/square foot.

I would suggest simply looking at Horticulture Lighting Group’s website. Sorry; can’t link it here, not allowed.

I don’t like the driver they include, which is probably a good portion of the savings. Otherwise as long as the leds are what they say, probably not a bad rig.

@Myfriendis410, @Wannabe I purchased 260W QB V2 LED Kit From HLG and I bought a 3x3x6 Vivosun and was wondering if you had any suggestions for intake with filter for a good price?

I use t6 infinity Cloudline. It’s powerful and quiet enough as an exhaust you won’t really need an intake. It’s a bit more expensive but my tents bigger so I’d recommend the t4 for yours should suit you well. Use it for exhaust and if you really want an intake grab another. But I’ve used my t6 for 24/7 almost 100days non stop still running fine. I’ve used cheap fans and won’t recommend any.

@Wannabe So purchase a t4 exhaust to get air out of the tent? What about for fans? How many should I get? I want to have at minimum 3 plants if possible

Yes to get that old air out. You’ll eventually achieve negative pressure. This sucks new air in. Intakes only really necessary if it’s unusually hot or humid etc. I exhaust using a duct out my window. It’s not necessary I just would rather have the air out of the house. You can buy window duct kits and all you need on Amazon. Without the exhaust you’re screwed. You can easily grow without intake. Just maintain 76 to 84 degrees.

I use a big circular oscillating fan at canopy. I use an oscillating tower fan below the plants hitting the lower areas. I have 2 clip one. One oppositey tower fan supplimenting air flow. Lastly I have a clip on way up top blowing air around. Gets my lights and everything up there.
