Starting with a 30x18x36 tent and not too sure if I have the 'right' or necessary parts to successfully grow some plants.
my shopping cart consists of:
A 4" fan to use as an intake on the bottom of the tent
Exhaust on the side of the tent
400w HPS+MH Light Kit
Fan Speed Controller
Is this an alright setup for a first grow?
hey man sounds good to me :) but you will need a fan for the inside to get the air moving around in the tent :)
in a 2.5' x 1.5' x 3' tent?
yea that's just insane.... I would suggest to get a bigger tent. at least a 4x2x6
why he can just hold them short ? and grow in what he has :) i have seen this size then with a 400watt he tire the plants down and kep them really short but he got amazing buds
but if you have the money then buy a bigger tent to :) and you can kep your clones and small plants in that tent you have :)
Does sound like a nice veg cabinet
Thanks! So is the intake fan necessary? How strong of a fan should be inside?
hey man yes all that you have showed at the top is necessary fan for Exhaust a fan for intake and a fan inside the tent to move the air around :) and the only thing you should buy more then that is a bigger tent and a termometer :) to mesure the heat :) and you are ready to go :D
well the problem would mainly be, the footprint and space a HID setup and the rest of your gear
heat can be fixed with a " HPS cool tube " type of reflector in a space that small (search around)
3 ft tall. take into consideration. the lamp will take up space, the pots & dirt will take up space
so that will leave you with about 1- 1.5 ft space vertical to grow.
T5 HO lamps have a small vertical foot print, 1-3 inches depending on the fixture
LED lamps also have a small vertical footprint
CFL lamps are bulky
HID lamps are also bulky
its all depends on your needs!
hope this helps!

yea it would be great for a vegg setup no doubt, couple t5's and your set
