I am wondering if there is a good quality all in one kit (tent + lights + fans etc) as Im very new and have never done an indoor grow. I lack the knowledge to know what light will work best or the pros and cons of the different size/ strengths. I have a tendency to go overboard and buy something way stronger, larger, or just not necessary for what my end goal is.

In a perfect world I would like to be able to grow 4-6 plants in 5 gal pots. I grow autos so they dont typically get as large as non autos (to my best knowledge). I'm thinking of a 4x6 tent size wise?

I was looking on amazon for some inclusive grow kits but I keep second guessing myself with the type of lights as well as if I will need anything more.

Budget- since this is a new hobbie if I could keep it around $750 or cheaper that would be fantastic. I do realize you get what you pay for so if I have to spend a bit more to get something I will never have to replace or I can trust to keep working for a while then I will do so.

Thanks so much for any direction or advice you indoor growers have. I realize alot of this is trial and error so if I can learn from what you did or did not like in the past that would be a huge stress reliver.

4x4 tent $100
6” exhaust fan with carbon filter $200
Leave it on always on slow.
3x small floor fans (oscillating ones are expensive) just zip tie 3 in the corners angled down on low.
Spider farmer 4000 $550
4-6 pots fabric plus coco Per lite $50

not including nutes

If you run that setup in a normal inside environment aka bedroom. Humidity and temps shouldn’t be much of an issue no need for ac and dehu. Maybe a humidifier for early veg till tent fills out then remove depends on where you live humidity

They make grow tents now a days that have split sides for a small cloning and larger veg area aswell as a flowering room. Something like a 2x4 veg and 4x4 flower would be great. A 4x4 t5 fixture for veg, and whatever light you prefer for flower with a nice 4x4 print. Hortilux 600 system is nice, mars hydro and spider farm both sell really nice 4x4 lights aswell. Grab yourself a couple small oscillating fans and you'll be on your way.
