first timer 2x2 tent with autos i need some help

can i use 2 600 hps lights or 1 1000 hps,and how many pots u think and what else do i need like fans and other stuff any tips thanks and are the cool tube reflectors good to use

can some1 help me with this pleez????

In my mind 2x 600hps or even 1x 1000hps seems a big much for that small area, i would consider a 250hps or 400hps (that has an electric balast), some kits come with a MH and HPS bulb, nice kits.

400 hps is top's for that space, i would maybe even go 250w.

thanks guys for ur info ,cause i got a friend and his tent is only 1xx1x2 and his using a 600 i thouht that was too small i think il go with the 6, so isnt true that the more light u got the better yeild from it is this true????

Are we talking metres or feet here? I think there is some confusion going on.

Either trolling, or well...


250W HPS will effectively cover a 3x3 growing area. Your just creating excess heat when putting that much wattage in such a small area. What is the average ambient room temperature outside of the box?

im talking metres here ,sorry for confusing u guys , so 2 metres by 2 by 2 so any ideas since we got the tent size sorted ??

go 2 600's then

what bout 2 1000 or is that too much cause the other guy said minimum 1100 watts for my size tent??

2x2m is a big tent. You could even do 4x600 if you can vent it.

2 600's would be better than 2 1000's cuz of the power you will be using.

yea u would most likely need 2 1000's for 36 sq ft. 2 600's would do but 2 1000's would do work. like dwc rebel said the power usage would be up there!

so if i used soil it would be the best for the power usage ???? do u no if 2 1000 will use alot of power???

umm. yes???

haha yeah i that you were talkin feet.

Is this grow power restricted or stealth cause a 2x2x2 tent with two 1000w hps plus all the extra electrics isnt very stealth or micro

well i think i need 4 600hps or 2 1000 hps what u think is beetter for electricity or is it the same ??

x2 1000w=2000w
x4 600w=2400w

1000s are cheaper and use less power. not the same though

well what u think i should get ??? and do u think the tent is a good size i could fit at least 16 plants yea
