Just wanted to discuss my end game set up. First time grower and growing from clones.

I got a 2mx2mx2m tent using 6inch extractor and carbon filter with 5inch intake fan with 3 oscelating fans inside. Im looking to have 3 600w hps lights 2 plants to each light leaving me room to move in the remaining 1m floor space. Going to buy a couple more LED strips to mount to the corners of the tent during flowering to offer blue spectrum light along with red spectrum from the hps. Does all that seem viable or am i going overkill? Plan on LST not looking to top as first time growing 1 step at a time right? Atm im only using 1 led strip for lighting as they are still very small will be using 5gal fabric pots for veg and flower. What are your thoughts? All insight greatly appreciated. Thanks. Attached is a pic of the tent i am using (not my tent, but a pic of the same one)

looks good to me. I used to use side lighting too, then found it to be silly with a hps/mh in the tent.
grow colas on top and open up the bottom for air flow.
you need a dehumidifier(outside of tent), a rh/temp/hi/low meter, an air conditioner (outside of tent)

Interesting, so you think the extra led lighting isnt going to make much difference?

As for the dehumidifier and air conditioning, is this a suggestion as to the amount of heat and humidity the 3 600w lights will create, or is there more to it? Thanks for your input bro.

3 600s HIDs are going to get HOT. I'm in a 4.5ft sq tent with 2 600s in cool tubes, ambient temp outside tent low/mid 70s, and I'm pushing 95+F in that tent. You're going to need AC.

Hmmm i thought as much, infact the reason for asking is because the heat was massive struggle with just 1 600w light on with the temp outside being 28 already, im hoping for a cooler end to our british summer for this problem but i already know thats asking too much. Another investment in AC will likely be required thanks again guys.
