That was 4x4 feet I was suggesting. Give you 16 square feet and 37.5 per square foot of lighting. These are my last 4 plants in that size space and what they yielded at harvest for reference.

I like your light, but here in Europe they want $ 1,100 for it, and that’s too much for me. If I ordered from America then it would cost $ 800, but the duty and VAT would cost almost $ 1,000 even with the purchase. I will have to find another affordable light.

I would take at least 1 4x4 tent and one maybe 3x3 so you can grow one crop for meds and one for beans if you like to do it, you can use it as a veg tent later on.
If you don’t want to buy from Amazon or alibaba ( I would buy them from alibaba I’n the beginning ) you can make your own? You will still have to pay for VAT but not so much.
Search in the threads and you shall find a nice one about DIY lights. Digikey is a nice place to find a lot of good things here in EU.
I made 3 x 200w lights for the price of 400 euros with shipping and customs

I know this place is selling the 600 Rspec for 649 and is in the UK. LEDGROWSHOP.CO.UK There are also many other options but I like that light. You may want to take a look at their site.

You are getting good advice.
In my experience novice growers want to do too much. They want to grow lots of weed, they want to make seeds, they want to do everything all at once.
My input is that just growing for the first time is a steep learning curve. Grow just to have some buds to smoke and have fun and make seeds next time after you’ve got a little experience.
I guess I’m saying learn one skill set at a time.
Good luck and all the best.

If I have to learn only one, then I will choose seeds. I’ll be happy to get ten unfeminated car bublegums and I want more to grow in the future.

Thanks friend. I should start in the autumn and if it turns out well, I will give the course and the result here. I am gathering information now, because who is ready is not surprised.

Consider posting your grow here from the beginning.
You will gets lots of ‘real time’ input (in case of trouble).
Just ‘hang out’ and focus on the basics… ie. ‘don’t kill them’. 
Everything else will fall into place.

how much of your budget? and which type of light dou wanna buy? taht’s all qustion!
I just don’t know. I am going to a 4x4 growing tent. I’m thinking of telling a friend to make it for me from ice strips. If I had to buy it, about $ 500. However, I still have plenty of time for the winter.
I’m thinking about this set. Do you have any reservations about that? Without fertilizers, soil and pots.Or…

- The light is well matched for the tent (W/M^2) & CMH is a good light.
- Verify the accuracy of the temperature/humidity sensor before you trust it.
- No clue about the soil and supplements.
- Plan on upgrading the internal circulating fan (very few are happy with those pole clip-ons)
- Keep an eye on the digital timer, I found they ‘lose their minds’ at any power fluctuation. I’ve gone back to the older analog timers.
- If you can, mount the ballast and exhaust fan external to the tent (cuts down on the heat).
- Those flower pots may or may not be suitable.

Never used CMH, heard great things though.
One thought is upkeep cost the cmh bulbs are a bit pricey compared to the hps bulbs. For me locally a 400w hps is around $25cad , cmh are $85.
CMH are better to look at things under. I have to turn off my HPS to really check things out which is kind of a pain.
From what I have read HPS and CMH are about equivalent in terms of PAR per watt.
I think either choice will be great for the size tent you are looking at.
