Question About My Tent Setup (First Time Using A Tent)

[staceyadams]

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've posted! This is going to be my first time ever using a tent, and was wondering if I'm missing anything for this setup to be complete.

I've ordered an HTG Grow Tent (64"x20"x36"), GrowBright 400w HPS and 400w MH with a 4 sided horizontal reflector, GrowBright 4" Inline Fan & Carbon Filter Combo, and a dual outlet mechanical timer. I also have a thermometer (old school, not digital). I have always been terrible at the mechanical aspect of setups, so I'm hoping some of you can tell me if that sounds like a solid tent grow.

Also, I intend on growing 12/12 from seed (also a first for me), and was curious as to how many plants you think I could fit in such a set up. The strain I will be growing out is Double Strawberry Diesel and possibly some Strawberry Haze as well. I hope you guys can point me in the right direction! Thanks!

Anyone? Bueller?

u have a 400 watt ballast for that bulb and reflector? Sounds like you're off to a good start; leave the fan on while the light is on; that tent will get too hot with a 400 if not. You may benefit from a small clip fan for air movement while the light is off or 24/7.

Thanks opt1c! I forgot to mention the ballast and the small fans for circulation. I guess we're all systems go then! Thanks again for your help bro!
