    Default New Grower Here Grow Room Design And Equipment

    Hello Everyone,
    Im new here and a first time grower. I have a room 58" by 92" that i am planning to wrap in Mylar., Ive decided on a hps lighting system. and hydro. can anyone give me some advice please.,
    Firstly what equipment to use,. for the size of room., ie / wattage of hps, intake extraction. filters, also temp control, ph control, all the good stuff. i get how to grow just not the equipment side
    How many plants can i fit in there
    Which auto flowers to use/ im looking for a quick grow method.,
    I know i am lazy but all the equipment is confusing the hell out of me and don't want to buy things twice
    My budget is around £200- £400 but cheap is always good as long as it works
    Im also from the Uk and will do a full thread with my journey and equipment to hopefully have a thread where any new person can copy the set up
    Thank you so much for your time <3

    so what ive gathered is wrap cupboard in mylar, buy a 600w hps with a decent big reflector, a 6" intake fan. a 8" outtake fan with a carbon filter. will do the job for 3 auto plants. i just dont know whether to do soil because its simple and forgiving for the first timers or hydro

    For now as it's a cupboard grow just use white paint in the cupboard.

    RVK fan and filter kit for outtake. L1 is best a 6" or 8" outtake will do perfectly for the space.
    Humidifier, dehumidifier. 8-10L
    Nutes, as you're going soil use old timers organic Imo (others will have other suggestions)
    you need a fan to lift the hot air and a fan to oscillate the air around the room
    I would also suggest a parabolic shade and digital ballast.

    Fan and filter, 131528297837
    Lighting, 251447734727
    Humidifier 251298723774

    Thats the basics you'll need... You'll need to sort pots, feed system (dripper, hand or auto) there's a lot more to think about tbh.

    You'll need a garland tray some sheeting and some blocks to raise the pots to drain to waste other than that I'm sure more can help

    I would also just use flat mat white emulsion paint. I like Adjusta - Wing Avenger hoods (from Growell), they are expensive compared to others although they don't need replacing every year or so like the cheap ones.

    I don't have a dehumidifier or humidifier but it's not saying you won't need them at some point, just play it by ear.

    Spend as much as you can on a PH meter and EC truncheon. Personally I like to use separate bulbs for veg and flower ie MH and pure HPS.
