New to growing, want to build a complete system

[fillway]

Iâ??m new to growing but Iâ??ve done a lot of research looking around this site and the different threads. I want to build a complete grow cabinet using LED lights. Money is not really a problem; Iâ??ll spend whatever is needed to have the best system possible. I need help on choosing a cabinet, equipping it with proper ventilation, temperature control, odor removal, and hopefully some extras such as CO2. I think I want to grow hydroponically, but Iâ??m not against using soil. I know I want to use Procyon 100, but are there any other lights I should be using to supplement it (LEDs)? I donâ??t want the thing to be too huge, just something that would fit in a good sized closet. I really appreciate any help I could get. Also, any books or other materials to use as references would be great too. Thanks a lot

Welcome to the forum. I certainly wish money was not an issue for my setup. Please send me some since you got plenty and I don't.

Wow, ambitious. My best advice for you is to try a smaller scale grow first with a simple DWC and CFLs of the proper color and amount. See how you like it. See what mistakes or success stories you make. I recommend something like an Emily's Garden for your first hydro experience. Very forgiving and straightforward, and awesome results compared to soil. You can build one for about $35 U.S. I am not the only one to say this, but in my experience you will be much better of in the long run if you try a simple small grow first. You will learn sooo much that way, without having to tear apart your grow area twice and redo everything like I did.
