veg tent for 3x3 flower area

Ok guys, so going to be running a 3x3 flower area under scrog with maximum of 4 plants depending on veg times.
On this i want to make things a bit more time effective, so im not waiting 3-4 months before i have anything smokeable between each harvest
i was thinking of having a slightly smaller veg tent which i can start my seedlings/clones in and veg/train them to a decent size well i have my plants flowering in the main tent. so hopefully when my plants are done flowering ill have new plants ready to go into the 3x3 in which i can just veg just another week and train into a screen a bit then flip. Leaving the veg tent empty for the 3x3 harvest to hang dry in a sealed/controlled environment.

I have already made some silly decisions in which was just a waste of money but you never know it might come handy in the future
I bought a small 50x50x100cm tent for £50 and a 75w 3500k quantum board from invisible sun led
Upon setting up the mini tent i realised....i got no chance of fitting a 3x3 scrog harvest in there...and if i do, it will be too crammed and risk ventilation mould issues. Which im not willing to risk that considering the effort and time that goes in to getting to harvest to begin with. + i wont be able to veg plants too big in the 50x50

in which i've just bit the bullet and purchased a 75x75x130cm tent which i feel will be pefect to veg a few plants and dry harvests.
Only concern now is do you think that the 75w qb will be ok vegging 2-4 plants? or will it be too weak? all plants i grow are lst'd and topped throughout veg so they stay short/bushy.
and what do you guys think of my decision with the 75x75x130 for the veg tent?
the qb going in the veg tent

I like around 15w per square foot for veg (with good led) and your slightly under that.
I don't see it been a problem at all.

75x 75 seems a good size veg tent for feeding a 90x90 flower tent.

thanks man, was worried if it was too weak i'd get stretchty, horrible plants.

If you're scrogging, you could get away with a single plant in a 3x3 (unless it's in meters). Personally, I recommend the Mars Hydro TSW 2000 for a 3x3. It's a 300w and perfect for 3x3. Your 75w will probably work fine, of course, but you may have trouble getting full coverage while trying to get it close enough to the canopy.

thanks for the response bro, yeah i could get away with one plant but i prefer to do 2 atleast as it saves time on vegging, and i like strain variety. as im currently trying to grow out some expensive genetics to find that amazing pheno.
in regards of lighting Maybe down the line i could add another 75w qb to it.

I would make a shelf in that veg tent and use the top to veg and bottom to root/clone also would do a SOG style . 4 plants per sq feet 36 total in flower ! The main reason people lose money and time growing . Is because they spend shit ton space ,money and time for a handful of plants in 5 gals that barely hit 2 oz each of that spending 4 months to do it smh . Now days I have a mom clones readily available and stack much plants I can per table on a drip to secure yield and spending no time vegging . In time someone spent vegging 4 plants for 4 mth for 4 oz I’ll get wayy flower with half the time . Food for thought good luck

Drip system the easiest and simplest to but together . Simple 1/2 poly running to your plants then 1/4 tubing to feed each plant individually with 1gp emitters (save your back) message me if you need help with irrigation

i see what you're saying bro. sounds like a good idea man, but im in the UK and dont really feel comfortable running 36 plants. My paranoia wouldnt be healthy for me as if i was to be caught it wouldnt go so well in my favour as much as what 4 plants flower 4 plants veg 8 total would be.

I asked in another post if more plants would save time on vegging. Seems logical to me, but the overwhelming response was "no".

yeah personally i would like to do 1 large plant, but i couldnt sit there and smoke 10oz+ of the same strain, half the time i get bored of a particular strain after i've smoked just an ounce and need something else, so variety is key for me. But i can see the argument on how more plants doesn't necessarily mean less veg time, as i notice bigger the plant= bigger rate of growth.

I agree, I don't even smoke anymore, I just love the plant, but after you get used to the strain, it's not nearly as gratifying.

Yes unfortunately plant count matters.
1-9 is personal for your own consumption unless they have evidence like 100x 20bags ready to sell.
over 28 and they don't need a set of scales to say you are producing with intent to supply, doesn't matter if they are 6" plants or 6ft.

was just told on another forum iswell apparantly in the uk even if you stay under 9 plants, having 2 seperate grow areas (one flower one veg) also places you in a danger zone in the eyes of the law...don’t know how true this is but few people on uk420 suggested this was the case

If your busted your busted .. I use to let fear control my count 12 years ago 12 years not a single visit glade I didn’t waste time and money with long veg times and larf. Was just food for thought good luck
