Hello, new to the group. Found this site listening to the cheap home grow podcasts whilst battling 12 hour shifts at work.

 

heard Maccy say he uses a small LED light for his mother tent but had autos in there constantly which I thought is a a perfect idea! More harvest but no extra tent needed as my veg/mother tent (2ftx2ftx4ft) is empty most the time. So I know i’d have to lst them and keep them small/low but I aren’t expecting huge amounts.

what size LED would you recommend or would you recommend a bigger tent? I saw the small invisible sun ISH150 typeR and thought that would be okay? What’s your thoughts? 

 

P.S I think it’s great what for doing for the cannabis community, so much love from a fellow uk grower!

Dont listen to that guy mate he is full of shit 😉 lol

Welcome to Percys, thanks for listening to the show man, I hope you enjoy it Smile

The ISH150 is good for the small tent, but i think if you wanna squeeze some autos in there, you should go for the 1M x 1M tent if you have room. your moms can live in there with a couple of autos. 

If not, maybe only do one auto in the small tent with the moms, but keep the same light, those ish lights are  incredible. I have the 480 Smile

Hey batch buddy. if your space is already 2ftx2ftx4ft id say the 150 ish type R is about right to cover that area but if you do have any more space available the 265ish type r will give you more flexibility for max power and spread of light. isse is that the heat sink for the 265 is 65cm and slightly too big for your 2x2 foot footprint

Thanks for the kind welcoming and replies ?? Yeah I’m tight for space hence the small tent. I have a flower tent which is 1mx1mx2m with a 600w hps which takes up most of the space in the room I just thought it would be nice to try my first autos and get a bigger variation of strains between my big harvests. 

Just wanted to have a go with an led now the technology has moved forward but thought it would be cool to try one in the little tent, thought the 150 is a good place to start even if I just squeeze 1 in a time. 

What auto seed banks do you guys recommend?
