First grow room & I need some good advise -



For the first crop I am going to go with a 4x4 tent. I need to know everything I will need to get the best results -

1) # of LED light boxes & watts

2) Air cleaning supplies

3) Misc nutrients etc..

I am really hoping someone could provide a setup guide for a perfect small 1st time setup - either from personal experience or a link to an article that could help - I have been searching and am really hoping to find someone that could provide simple plans -
like -
1) 1 - 4x4 tent
2) 2 - 300 watt LED lights
3) 6" charcoal air cleaner
etc.....

It may be obvious but I really want a good start-up for my basement that will not draw to much electricity or heat and not smell up the house - While I do want to do this right I am trying to save $ until I have more to invest -

Any help would be VERY appreciated!​

it would be cheaper to go with a single 600 or 1000w(would use lil bigger tent though 6x6 or 6x4) hps possibly with cooltube connected to your 6" fan/filter you plan on having. LED's are 3-5x cost per watt than most HID and only a little more efficient. You could always upgrade after you get some more $. I wouldn't really worry about heat if ur using ur basement as they stay cooler normally 60-70 and with hps shouldn't cause it to rise more than 10-15 degrees. Just make sure you have good ventilation to prevent bud rot/mold b/c basements are also sometimes humid so you may want to add dehumidifier during flowering.
