Pot sizes & transplants

Hi guys

I started my first grow today in an 80cm x 80cm grow tent. I just did one seed for now but I'm hoping to do 2-3, I'm thinking 3 might be a bit much for my tent?

My question is how many times do I need to transplant, and what pot sizes should I have? My seeds: https://www.cannabist.co.za/cannabis-seeds/strawberry-banana-cheese-feminised/?attribute_pa_pack-size=3-seeds

I was thinking transplanting to a 2l pot and then a 10l a week or two before flowering. I'm looking at getting those freedom fabric pots 

I have one of these lights, would this be enough for 2-3 plants in 80cm x 80cm? https://www.acdc.co.za/products/220-240-150w-cool-white-led-alum-flood-light-ip65?variant=32751529689165

 

TLDR:

Would 3 plants be possible in my 80cm x 80cm tent with this light? https://www.acdc.co.za/products/220-240-150w-cool-white-led-alum-flood-light-ip65?variant=32751529689165

How many times should I ideally be transplanting?

What size pots would be ideal for each transplant?

Is polystyrene cup > 5l fabric > 10l fabric okay?

Hey bud, you very safe with 3 10l end. I would say go more. Royal queen seed say 9 11l pot in 1m2. But if lighting is a factor. Maybe sit around 6 10l pots with 2 of these lights set in a rectangle setting. Good luck. Maybe get 1 cool white and 1 warm white. Mix the spectrums if you running them throughout. I’ve got 1 warm one with 4 cool white 18w tubes for veg. Works very well  🙌🏻

Cool man! If you want maybe push the bar go 4. Even Stevens 🔥 would be interesting to see what that led can do with that. It’s a good light 👍🏻

@ORGANinc. u got a warm white led light aswell?

So thats for flowering.

I am in deep need for a small review on that light bro. Coz i have the cool white for veg. Wanted to know if the warm white can help me on flower like the cool white helps in veg.

Ya bro I do. It was actually a mistake but I won’t be able to tell you if it’s better for flowering as I will not be using it for flowering. I wouldn't say it’s worth buying a warm white one for flowering bud. The light is definitely capable of flowering 1 plant either warm or cool. Plus the cool white will make your buds more sparkley🙌🏻
