Hi I'm new here not really sure if I should have started a new thread or not???
Basicly I've got almost all my equipment except a light and I've just ordered some seeds!! I'm going to use a grow tent measuring 80 x 80 x 160 it seems to me that it is good quality, I'm not sure what light to use though I was planning on going LED bit this is to expensive. I've found a 400w HPS bulb ballast and reflector for �55. Or exactly the same but the 600w version but for �65. I thought more light more yield but as it is fairly small I don't want the 600w to create o much heat, which would you guys recommended I use? Also what size pots would you guys have your plants in just before harvest? I've been reading online that you should have them in 12 gal pots weeks before you crop, 12gal pots seem huge or am I just being stupid, I would have thought 4 or 5 gal pots would e big enough?
Any way cheers for reading any help at all will be much appreciated!!!
