Single plant under 315, should blow up pretty good if you can keep temps in check. You usually see them in larger space.

I had mine in the exact same size tent and had a problem controlling the heat so I had to move it to the closet with my LEDs are my CFLs I had no problem with the heat inside the tent

Yesss its sooo hard to keep this tent cool. I have it in this closet that has an a/c vent in it, so i shut all the other vents in the house and blast it! Haha @dbrn32

I use LEC/CMH and they are far cooler than most HID’s depending on if they have Ballast attached or not?

I have the one where its not attached but how much bigger are they with the ballast on them? @Donaldj
@JaysGrowRoom thats such a great looking plant👍

There are a few tricks HID growers learn over the years and one is that anytime a ballast/heat source can be kept out of direct grow space you are that much further ahead 
It is less to do with the size and space it takes even digital they radiate heat mine are about 95f

@mgolden1313 yeah I topped this when it was at 6 nodes, cleared all foliage below so all energy went to the new nodes then waited till each cola had the 4th node coming out then topped it and cleared the middle node of each side and that’s how I mainlined this plant
I know that’s right
Here’s an update: I changed my resivor it was 2 weeks old and i didnt get ah chance to set up the plant so i just kept it. I added some 1/2 tsp of cal mag., some photosynthetic bactiera (just to try it out) my Ph is at 6.0 I used the seedling levels on general hydroponics. I need ah ppm tester but that I feel like that can wait
