One Plant Grow indoors. Light to use?

Indoor Growing
1

Hey Everyone. Happy Summer to all!

Well my second grow is going ok. Decided to try outdoors in pots. Learning still as I go and having a blast!

I am starting to work on getting supplies to try a one plant grow indoors this fall and into the winter. I am leaning towards an LED for this one. Could I get some suggestions on size and brand from you guys? Would it be best for me to pick something from HLG? Should I also use side lighting?
Another question is should I grow in RDWC? Soil? ???

Reason why I want to try one plant is to see how big I can get it. I really enjoy learning and playing around.

TIA Everyone

How big is big?

How big is your space?

I was thinking either a 2x2 or 3x3 tent.
Size of plant? Whatever I can achieve. I have about 7’ ceilings and an open area in my basement. Figured a tent would be best?

I have a 6’ tent and I train my plants to max out at 3’ or so.

HLG is a quality brand. I was looking at a 135 for a 2x2. Lots of options.

Re: rdwc or soil - I can’t answer that. You’re going to have to choose. I run soilless and it works for me.

I would grow a few medium size plants instead of one big one.

All the best.

hahahahah Grow off?? Um for newbies maybe? I would be in… Never done it yet but wanna…

@Foreigner I do like the HLG products. Was thinking maybe 4 QB96’s? as well. Just to make sure I have enough light :wink:
What type of soilless setup do you have?

I use Promix in 3G pots.

If you’re going 2x2 I’d probably just get the 135R but again lots of options.

Even a cheaper one like a mars or a spider farmer would suit your needs.

Not sure it makes sense to build a rdwc for a single plant

:call_me_hand:

Bubble bucket?

single plant. Id go with a good soil maybe 10-15 gallon fabric pot. Hlg will definately have something thatll fit the space. Budget on lighting? I really like hps in flower though. Led just doesnt seem to get the same swell.

no need for side lighting in these grow tents, the reflective walls will take care of it. I like the idea of one big plant, but it can be nice to have more than one in case something goes wrong. I usually grow more females than I need and gift them to friends if I run out of space.

I do organic soil, for a 3X3 tent I’d want at least a 10 gallon pot for one female, if not 15 or 20.

No in a tent

This is a good problem to have.

And I agree that growing only one is an egg basket situation.

All the best.

I suggest a octopot. You will be amazed i think at how much one plant can produce with these things.

I think your best of planting in soil… 30 gallon pot

RDWC is generally meant for multi plant setups. makes it very easy to feed/monitor multiple plants from 1 control bucket. You could do a 1 plant RDWC but i think at that point u might aswell just do a single DWC bucket.

DWC buckets are super simple and hard to screw up. My 1st run with them i had no issues and was just changing the water in them every 2 weeks or so.
