I have ordered a 10x5 tent I was wondering how many grow lights or what kind of grow lights would be ideal for this grow.? Also how many plants would I be able to fit with a dwc set up.?

- After reading the brochure, I have more questions than answers. What is EC? What is the PPM (700 scale)? And instead of following their formula, cut in half?
- Hey guys, with overwatering being a huge issue when growing cannabis, I wanted to see how much everyone waters as I'm concerned I may be giving my plant too much water. I'm in a 5 gallon fabric pot using soil mixed with some coco and perlite. It takes about 6 quarts of water to get around 10-15% runoff, which I only do every 4th of 5th watering since I'm using organic nutes. Most of the time I just give it a gallon with no run off, but I'm wondering if I should give it less, so I can feed more often then every 4-5 days? Thoughts?
Anybody?
How many plants would depend on auto or photo, or how big you going to grow them(veg time+flower stretch). Lighting would also depend on auto/photo. I know little to nothing on dwc except it's very time consuming, easier to kill your plants, and for me just an outright pain in my arse. Most of the lights I've seen carry a 4x4 foot print with enough par to grow in that sq ft, @Mr. Grow It is an extremely knowledged person on lighting and woyod probably know off the top of his head. When I grow I figure three plants per 4x4 because I veg bigger and want room to open plants up. And I have 600w dimmable hps for each 4x4 area. I use T5 for seedlings and a week or two of veg depending on size of plants. Because I've done it I'll suggest starting small, if you over fill that tent you will eventually run into non stop issues with heat, humidity, light, and training. Gl hope Mr.Grow It sees this, he is the Yoda on here.
LED grow lights are ideal but they are more expensive than traditional HID (HPS/MH/CMH) lighting. Do you have a budget you are shopping by or looking to get top-of-the-line grow lights?
For your DWC/plants question, I think most are comfortable growing 1 plant per 2'x2' space using DWC. But like @mwhite9829 says, it depends on the size of the plants you plan to grow.
Thank you for your response I’ve never grown in my life still have no clue On lights but I’ve decided to switch to soil with 5-7 gallon smart pots I have a picture of a few lights and was wondering if these would work for my set 5x10 also heard I could fit up to 18 plants? What would be the ideal amount?
I would need more information about the grow lights in order to see if they are sufficient for growing cannabis. Can you provide a link to the light so I can learn more? Did you buy them off Amazon? Here is an article I wrote about LED grow lights which will help give you more knowledge about them: https://www.mrgrowit.com/single-post/2019/03/05/LED-Grow-Light-Buyers-Guide-2019-Indoor-Cannabis-Gardening
