Hydroponics and tent height issues
aRecreationaliststarted grow question 5 years ago
I'm looking into hydroponics, and have been looking at the GHE waterfarm. But worried that with a pot being 37cm and my tent being 120cm, I'll run out of space. At least having to turn down my light to prevent bleaching or heat damage. Any advice on this?

I know exactly what you are dealing with. I run Dutch buckets so I lose a lot of height, so I have to have taller space. With your dimensions there will be issues with your height. You really need a taller tent, or go with a different setup like coco. Some plants stretch like crazy and it can totally kill the enjoyment that you should get out of the grow. Good luck with whatever you decide!

@aRecreationalist Use LST to keep your plants low and create a more even canopy of growth.

My tent is 32"x32"x63". I've only ever done one plant at a time. This time I am attempting to share the tent with a hydroponic grow in a 5-gallon bucket. I normally grow soil in a 5-gallon smart pot. Should I use a 3-gallon instead? Last grow the 1 hydro filled the tent.Week 2

Encouraging heightI just raised my 900w led to 39". Feeding every day about .3 liter. It looks like she will have 8 main colas after the 4-way top but I'm concerned about height. Should I wait for 4 nodes on the new colas and then switch to flower maybe? Thanks for the great advice as always!Week 9

Besides hot air blowers, what heating equipment do you suggest for small spaces?Do you have any suggestions to heat a 2.5ftx2.5ft space without using a space heater that blows hot air?
I feel like having it blow hot air around my plants is drying them out, but I don't know if an oil radiator is too large for the space I have provided. Oil heater too much?Week 4
