Hi so my brains about to explode from all this math and decision making. Oh yah this is my first indoor grow
I have an 5x10 Secret Jardin Grow Tent I believe that the square footage is approx 37sq ft
have 1 600watt hps light with air ventilated hood
have 1 1000watt hps light with air ventilated hood
have 4'' inlining fan pushing air into tent
have 6'' inlining fan/ducting pushing air through lights and outside of tent
have 6'' inlining fan for exhaust through carbon filter
So my problems
Should I stick with my 1000 and 600 combo. Is that enough/too much/too little light for a 5x7 tent? I have the ability to switch my 1000watt with an 600 so I could just use 2 600watt light
Am planning on growing 16 plants. But can grow more. What is the recommended plants for that kind of space and lighting. Also am not going to seed or clone etc until I get a grasp on the basics of growing
And thirdly but most importantly right now as a demo I am only running the 600watt light and the heat in there is at like 90 fer. So I can imagine the heat of using both lights! Intense.
I feel like I set up the ventilation adequately but maybe something went wrong? What can I do to fix the heating problem
Any advise is greatly appreciated. I feel like Ive been searching forums all night and have been hitting my head against a wall. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out. Bestow on me your awesome wisdom
