Something I learned from this grow - it's good to have a tent that's not bigger than the footprint of your light(s). If your tent is too-big, then you lose the benefit of light bouncing off the walls and helping the outsides of the buds. Using my lux meter, I find the extra reflective light to be significant. Also, I learned that you probably need a fan setup and/or air conditioning system to keep the temperature and humidity right in a CLOSED tent (that maximizes reflection off the walls). My advice to newbies is that you only need a big tent if you're going to be a producer or seller. For guys like me who just want personal supply, I think one 2x2 tent, and one plant at-a-time is gonna be plenty. You can easily get 2 oz from a 12-week flowering plant....and that's enough weed for most people for 3 months. It probably depends on how much you use, but 1 oz/month is plenty for most people I know. The HLG 225 light I have is plenty for one plant at-a-time in a 2x2 tent. Not quite enough for two flowering plants I think, but two of them would do it in a 2x4 tent...but that would require a good fan/AC system to deal with the extra heat. It's complicated, but fun to learn about :-)
