Working on developing my first grow room. Here is what I am thinking?
Dark Room TWIN Grow Tent - dimensions are total 4ft X 4ft x 7 ft with one room being 4x4x5 and one room being 4x4x2.
Space: In my basement with a 4 foot ceiling. Planning on laying twin on its side so height would be 4 ft tall, depth is 4 ft deep, and width is 7 feet wide.
Lights: hanging t5 flo lights on the sides of the tent rather than on the top, allowing for as much height as possible.
as an example, using the 4x4x2 room: hang two 4 ft/8 tube 400 watt flo lights on two sides of the room. adding the below CFL socket adapter to hang from the center of the grown room and dangle in the middle of the room while surrounding this CFL socket with 3 or 4 plants. The CFL should add anywhere from 250 to 500 watts. approx 1000 watts.
Pots: planning on using square 3 gallon pots.
1) Is this too much or too little lighting for the small room?
2) comments on the 4 ft ceiling?
so confused on the CFLs. I am getting different answers from many different people. can you use only CFLs throughout the entire process?
Eventually, I will add and move into the bigger room and start using both rooms either as one veg and one flower or two flower rooms.
Starting slow.
Thanks for all your help!
