i was looking through ebay...the cheapest 600w dimmable i found was 125 quid. i feel very lost....seems like im the only one buying overpriced equipments. im in the kingdom, where is it possible to get cheap equipments for the same quality??
try 3 counties.........expect someone already said that...ah well

The amount of plants doesnt really change temperature but the big 600w light will so you will definately need some ventelation in a tent that size
tbh, i wouldnt go above a 400 in a tent that size, especially at this time of year. ive been usin 1.2m x 1.2 x2 tents for a cpl of years now and ive tried 600s,400s and even a 1000( that was like living on the surface of the sun!!!!). if ur dead positive about using a 600, then ur ambient room temp outside the tent must be low, remember your tent is black outside and WILL ABSORB HEAT, so like i said if ur using the 600 ur probably gonna need a cold inflow of air via a 4" fan and ducting(more expense, both to buy and run). why not just try a 400 this 1st time, if u find its sufficient then great, if not when ur harvest comes up , either store it or selll it. u mite wanna have a look on e bay(i know sum ppl are against ebay(paranoia!!!) but ive used it to buy full set ups like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-2m-GROW-TENT-KIT-600w-LIGHT-FAN-FILTER-HYDROPONICS-/280688086756?pt=UK_HomeGarden_Garden_PlantsSeedsBulbs_JN&hash=item415a504ee4#ht_2432wt_982
and never had a problem......well ive had loads of problems but it was fuck all to do with ebay and more alcohol/charlie/scottish thing. the lads in here can vouch for that. get a cheap prepay credit card and send it to a trustworthy friend/relatives house, its all discreeetly packed mate.

Time to crack open the beers! I told myself just last night no more drinking on work nights and no more cigarettes, cigarettes i'm a day off, but well, i'm just back from a very very good meeting, as of next week :) life is about to get rather good.

if you planning on doing 4 it will be a tight squeeze in that tent... you'd have to keep your veg time down as to not let them get too big.. or alternatively try 12-12 from seed like del rolls :)

i think a 600 would be overkill in that tent too as some people have mentioned.. a 400w would be fine in a tent that size.. i have a dr60 and wish it was bigger (that's what she said)...
3ch has a dimmable 400w for £90 i think.. not too bad.. but yeah either stay 600w and go for a larger tent or if you set on that size then maybe look at a 400w - IMO...



This is amazing info man!! Never though about it. Share more, I want to listen!! Thanks man

For comparisons sake, i hav extraction through the roof, and my cabinet is essentially the same size as that tent except instead of 60x60 it's more like 55x220 but also over 2 meters tall, floor to ceiling, that cabinet get's as warm as it needs to be, and it's not quite a popper summer yet.
