Hey growmies,

I need some input if you don't mind.
I'm currently in the process of buying a tent and I'm stuck at a cross roads
I'm probably going to buy a tsw2000 and don't know weather to buy a 3x3 or a 4x4.
My thinking is get the 4x4 upgrade to a bigger light later down the road and the move the small light into a 3x3 or
Get the 3x3 with the smaller light
And save some reddies.

Any input is greatly appreciated thanks in advance

I would go with the 4×4 cause you always need room I have a 4×8 and a 4×4 and I still dont have room just saying

4x4 without a doubt, you’ll always be upgrading with this hobby.

Thank you @Fastass419 and thank you @Pennywise,
That was the way I was leaning now it's an easy decision
I appreciate the wisdom

3x3 will get stuck in the mud 4x4 all the way

Hey growmies @Fastass419, @Pennywise, @CO Finest,
Can i get your opinion on a light problem
I was dead set on a tsw2000 but now with the price increase would I be better with a hlg qb288
I appreciate all your help.

How big is the space you’re trying to cover?

It will be a 4x4x7 tent but I'll only be doing 2 maybe 3 plants Max to start, mainly due to budget restrictions and misses paranoia lol

 

[Pennywise]

One HLG 288 will do 2-3 plants. I run 2x HLG 288 in a 4x4 with wall to wall plants.

 

[Lapidavitque]

That sounds good to me,
So would one hlg do as well as a tsw2000
Because at the moment they cost the same for me.

 

[Pennywise]

I’d have to look at the tsw 2000 again but the HLG 288 is a serious light.

What spectrum do you have?
I was looking at the r spec.

Does it have 2 boards or 3 per unit?

 

[Pennywise]

[Lapidavitque]
