Greetings everyone. My first grow crashed and burned badly, so were on to round 2. My first grow was plagued by heat and humidity as I’m growing in a metal shed attached to my carport. It’s going to be in a 2x4 tent. I have upgrade the soil to FF Happy Frog. They will be in 2.5g pots. I’m using bagseeds. Light is a Crx Sunny 240w qb led. I will be sealing off the area the tent is in and insulating area from the outside. I have a dehumidifier and I need be I’ll be getting a small AC unit. 190 CFM fan with 4in ducting. Also two regular desk fans in the tent for circulation. I use rain water for hydration. Seeds will be going right into 2.5g pots and stay there more than likely. If I get that far this time, I’m thinking I will try to top once and LST. Maybe just one or the other. I’ll start a journal once everything is up. As always any constructive advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Well that’s depends on your budget, I’m a proponent of saving money so I’d say wait until you can/after harvest. I’d just recommend flowering the plants earlier than later, don’t want them getting too tall and the plants in the center getting the light. Cause 2 plants with good veg time in that tent is better than 4 in my opinion.

Try to find a second hand 315 cmh setup that would kill the space and if you mount the ballast remotely will take a decent amount of heat out of the space. My first big tent was a 2x 4 as well and in there I was running a quantum bad boy T5 and it worked fine

For this grow I’m probably going to roll with what I have now. Realistically I’m planting 4 only plan on ending up with 2 with potential males and diseases, etc. We shall see how this one goes.

Just a heads up. Ran into some issues I attribute to rain water. Under l.e.d. using rainwater I ran into a cal/mag issue. Didnt realize how much calcium my tap was bringing to the party until i cut it out in an attempt to keep chlorine off my bennies. Maybe in moderation or with cal/mag it would be doable. Good Luck
