WOW......22 looks an no help or advice...this forum is getting bad all these professional growers and no 1 can point me in right direction....THANKS
 
I would love to help u out, but i dont use grow tents, and/or LED's sorry, cant help u out; but im very sure that someone will be able to just hold on for a few. I use HPS and i pull on average 3-3 1/2 ounces per plant using soil
 
just a :bump: for AFN Brother konehead if anyone has done a grow something like this he could use your input, thanks all.
TOKE OUT:smokebuds:
 
Hey there konehead. There are several factors at hand that designate yield. Big room, lights and pots don't always equal high yields. In a 5x5 you could fit a lot of plants. I don't know anything about those LEDs but you could put 3 Blackstar 240s in there and haul ass. :D Use 3 2-3 gallon Airpots and grow 16 plants. An Oz a plant should be do-able, there's your 16. But like I said it also depends on other environmental factors and of course personal skill, determination and know-how.

I don't use HPS or MH, so I can't say a whole lot. I know they get stellar results. But they create a lot of heat that I would just prefer not ever deal with. I can't see myself ever using those lights. I use T5 and cfl and will be upgrading to LED by the Summer I hope. :D

Oh and by the way, the Autoflower Network is in no way 'getting bad'. Most all Mods here also have families and jobs and general life outside of AFN, so sometimes it takes a while to get seen or responded too. I do apologize for that, but it was brought to all of our attention earlier and I JUST got off work. Here to help! :thumbs: My 2nd job.

Good luck on your ventures. :D :smokebuds:
 
squid is right. try to avoid mh and hps if you can. heat issues and high electric bills arnt good. I'm currently in the same boat as you trying to figure out what lights to use. but I know I want to stick with led and maybe cfl if I have to. I have a bs 240 and was gonna get a few more and do like squid said but I got a great deal on another led so I'm going with it.
I know I'm kinda rambling but my point is that you should try to stick with led/cfl if you can I belive it is the way of the future so why not be ahead of the game.
 
thank you all 4 getting back an giving me advice.iv been looking at complete tent setup on monstergardens.com with 1000watt air cooled hps in there premium package looks like they have everything to keep temps down if i go with air cooled light..i figured if it doesnt work out ill just sell light on ebay an order some more leds from hydroponics hut ...iv done couple led grows but from what iv seen mh&hps grows the bud looks alot more greener and better in my opinion..
 
You should be ok on temp with the air cooled light just keep an eye on it and don't have it too close to the plants. Are you gonna use led with the hps? If you are then you could get a 500w hps and not worry about heat or using too much electricity .

Not knocking HPS/MH AT ALL. But from all the LED grows I have seen on here, I see more density and more resin in the buds. They just love the LEDs. :D
