I’m building a HPA(high pressure aeroponics) grow system for 2 tents. Veg tent is 4x4 and flower is 4x4.
For the 4x4 veg tent:
I want to light an 18-gallon rubbermaid container, which will be my cloner (10-16 small clones). Also, I will have another 18-gallon Rubbermaid container for vegging and to hold 1-2 mother plants. This will have spots for 6-8 plants (most likely 6).
For the 4x4 flower tent:
I will have an 18-gallon Rubbermaid container that will hold 4-6 plants.
I’m stuck on the LEDs. My budget is $800 total between the 2 tents. I want the 2 best quality lights I can get with the $800. I have in and out fans for both tents.
A few questions:
What do you recommend? (Please don’t sell me your company’s light. I’m looking for growers’ honest opinions about LED lights so I can make the best informed decision.)
Should I go with a bigger light in the flower tent and a smaller in the veg tent?
Originally, I had a G8 450 w/90w flower booster for the flower tent and a G8 240 for the veg tent, but after digging around on RIU, I’m reading that I shouldn’t mess with them and there are far better options in 2019.
I have a lot to learn still, but I will be sure to log everything I do, including how I build HPA system so that people can learn from my mistakes and success.
Crossing my fingers for help! Thanks!
