in a 2x4 grow tent how many 3gal soil pots could i fit comfortably with autos?

also is my carbon filter supposed to be on the inside sucking air threw it or outside getting air push outwards of it trapping the air?

also what exactly is foliar (sp?) feeding? and why is it important?

also might as well hit you guys up on your opinion of this light im pretty sure im gonna use in my rig:

Welcome to the Network, Space Pope. Glad to have ya. :D

You can fit around 8 or so 3 gallon pots in there I would think,but you'll need much more light than one of those cfl, not sure how many you were planning though. Those lights look fine, you'll want a blue spectrum 6500K bulb for veg especially. That link is for the warm 2700K, they are more for flowering, but I suggest a mixed spectrum of both throughout the grow.

Either way on the carbon filter, but works best IMO when inside the tent pulling air through the filter first then through duct and out of the tent. When all sealed with enough power from the exhaust, it will create negative pressure for a passive intake of fresh air through another opening, usually the long back flap in tents.

Foliar feeding is spraying your foliage(leaves) with a nutrient water solution. It is necessary for life, but has its' benefits. Some growers do and some don't. Search 'foliar feeding' in the search bar up there and we should have a lot of info on. Or the home page, I can't quite remember.

Take care. :D
 
I have 2 of those light/fixtures. Realistically, you can only grow 1 plant under one of those.
Filter goes on the inside, sucking stank out of the tent.
 
so would i be okay doing 4 plants in that size rig realistically? also to chime back on the light, it says 650 watt equl. so i thought that be ample for that and i thought auto grow under any light, so i forgot to mention this is gonna be a value opp with the GGT be ridiculously priced, i figured the cFLs would save money both in power in heat sig.
 
Still not enough light really for 4 plants. You could do four smaller ones under two of those lights probably. The equivalent isn't what to follow sadly. The actual watts is 150 it says.

And yes, Autos will grow and flower under both spectrums, just better if you have the particular ones IMO. They have got some heat on em, but not like HPS or MHalide. :D So that's good. And cheaper too. :thumbs:
 
i think ill have to jump over to the section, thanks alot man
