Hi from the uk and a noob and wanting to start growing soon just need some help in what the best light for saving money and whats the light for 5 plant tent and watts i need thanks
to Gandy. If cost isn't a factor check out LEDs. If they are too expensive, I'd look next at a 600w hps. BTW what are the dimensions of the tent, and how do you plan to grow, soil or hydro?
Welcome. I'm also from England and just started my first ever grow with equipment that got great results on here. It's too early for me to say what results will be like as my seeds went into pots today. LED seems to be the way to go and wasn't that much more than going HID once ballasts, reflectors and extra cooling were taken into account. Running costs are much lower too. I'll PM you some info.
Here are some useful links that will help you learn about growing, and how to get it right the first time
First rule of thumb is, do the research first, if you can't find the answer anywhere, then ask. I can almost gurantee that the question has been asked before. There are tons of resources and kind and knowledgeable growers at 420 magazine and I am sure you will find it a great home!
