Thanks! I’d been stalking around a bit before and after starting the seedlings figured I may as well just join! 2x4 being tight - would that result in buds getting buried and not growing to full potentials? I found a thread about making a diy tent for cheaper than most cheap tents that I’m eager to try, if I do it’ll definitely be made bigger, likely 3x3. @DIYMan has a good thread going.
My lighting budget is fairly thin, I’m trying to keep it under $150 for lights. This being my first grow I’m eager to see my plants flourish, but also want to keep investments low until I can be sure I’ll be able to sustain this for more than the summer. I’ve read a fair number of cheap grows using CFLs and super small cabinets, and think that if I can squeak out a bit more space and lighting power for just a few dollars more, may as well.
