New here and ready to build a 4x4 grow tent: first time indoor

[guido1469]

Hey .. I’m 48 and a recreational cannabis user and have grown outside for years. I’m going to try indoor to get away from bud rot , mould. I’m in southern Nova Scotia..bad for mould here..
I have all my supplies to get started, 4x4 tent, 2 1000w led. Etc. At the moment I’m Building a 6x8 room in my shed for my grow space .

For a 4x4 space I think you need about 800-ish actual watts.
I am going to assume the "2, 1000w LED” is probably closer to about 400 w most likely.
I would strongly suggest Fabric pots.

Everything else depends on how you've decided to grow be it hydro, Coco, soil, LOS etc.

Greetings, I like my 7 gal pots, the handle on the side is large enough to hold a solo cup.
Check out grow journals and of course the bud photos and there are plenty of members to help you along the way.

hey thanks for the heads up.. the actual watt from one led is 185w . so it looks like i need a couple more. and as far as medium ..i think my first shot at this grow im going to use sunshine promix . 4 plants in 3 gal fabric pots and use a screen. , i have been doing some research on using coco but not there yet. i dont know what brand to get or where,i read about having bugs and salt in them blocks from amazon so i will keep reading ..

I've never used Sunshine Promix but I think it's probably not much different than using Coco.
I don't think there's much if any nutrients in it so will have to bottle feed about like Coco.
I think you would be better served with slightly larger pots if you can.
