I’m looking for some guidance on this topic. I have a 2 ft wide 4 ft long grow tent that I prep all my seeds in, early in the year. I had 3 cannabis plants in their among vegetables I grow and it was way overcrowded. I transplant all my plants outside in spring, weather permitting but I want to get a new tent for next year. I put my cannabis in 3 gal pots and they usually are in the tent for about a total of 2 months give or take. I’m going to be doing 4 cannabis plants next year in 3 gal pots and I want to know what size tent I should get. I don’t need anything too big because they’re not in there for very long. I also wanted to see if someone had recommendations of a light for this new tent. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Would this tent be for Veg only?
Correct. Early veg
Heck…. You could get away with fluorescent lighting in a 4x2
But I think I would go with an AC Infinity 3x3 and an HLG 135w BSpec kit and an AC Infinity 4 inch fan
AC infinity total with promo code growcast15 would be $168
Light is on sale, also for $168.

Thank you for sharing! Your pot size seems a lot larger than what I’ll be using though. I should’ve clarified too and said that 2 of the 4 plants will be autos. My plants were a lot smaller than the ones you have. Here are some photos. Either way I appreciate the insight. image|375x500

Thank you for the info! I’ll give them a look. That’s about the price range I was thinking and what I ideally want to spend.

They’re 5 gallon pots… but yeah doing two autos will also make a huge difference. LST have mine bushy

One of the MOST important things I have learned here is lighting , I am on my second grow with the first being started with a cheap amazon light . After advice that I got here I upgraded to a Horticulture Lighting group QB series and the plants took of . Now with my second grow started using this light the growth is almost double in the same time frame . Your total yield will increase substantially win win > Give them a look .https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/collections/kits.

After @NeoGroR recommended HLG I looked them up and did some extensive research comparison with other grow lights and I was really pleased. They’re definitely the best option at my budget. I’m looking at the 135W QB V2 Bspec right now and another 4x2 tent.

I would go no smaller than a 3x3. I have a 2x2 but it is very hard to maintain the temps and control everything, plus there isn’t much height.
I also have a 4x4 and that would be the best for a small personal grow to be able to control everything. I’ll link the one I have!
I’ve also built my own tents to my own specifications and it’s super easy!
