Indoor What to get?

[AutoToker]

So I already have a tent setup right now, and my plants are about to flip to flower next week (My auto is already nicely flowering xD). I want a full tent of photo's and a full tent of auto's, but won't set the other tent up until next week when its flower time.

K, about to figure out what I need for the new systems, and I'm not exactly sure which systems to choose. I haven't been in the game long enough to know good brands of lights and ones to stay away from. I know what I need for the spaces I'm using (Growers Bible ). I just need some suggestions on the lights and tents to get.

- 95% have my mind made up on my 4x4 tent. Air-cooled 1K HPS. Am I going to run into heat issues?

- 15% sure on the 2nd tent. 1 x 600W vertically, or 2 x 400W horizontal. Take into consideration I already have a digital 400W HPS kit made from iPower. If I use my current 400W HPS, I will be replacing the bulb with something nicer, I've seen some 400W lights that say they put out 60k-65k lumens.

- 100% Sure I will use my 440 CFM for my 4x4 with most likely a Phresh filter rater for like 550 CFM.

-40% Sure of using my 4" 200 CFM Carbon filter/fan. (It was used for 1 1/2 grows. A new bulb should fix that.)

- 100% on what size of tent I need (3x3)
- 0% of what brand of tent companies even sell that size, i've seen just a few.

You only waited 24 minutes to bump your thread?


The kits are nice but you really want a name brand ballast preferably with a good warranty. They are all mass produced in china and you never know which one is the lemon. Skip the dimmable, just another thing to break and ruin bulbs. The reflector is not as important as the ballast. You should be able to cover 4X4 with a 1000w and 3.5X3.5 with a 600w. As for bulbs stick to name brand too. Hortilux are quality and I believe they make some with extended blue so you can use a HPS through veg and bloom...you can anyways plants are happier with blue light though.
