    Default First Setup..

    After taking lots of advice from you guys on here this is the set up I am thinking of

    LightHouse MAX 1mx1mx2m already bought

    RVK 150E2-L1 600m/hr Fan

    Rhino Pro Carbon Filter 6 Inch L1 150mm x 600mm 900m3/hr

    600w Omega MH & HPS SUPER Twin Light Grow & Flower Kit. Digital Dimmable Ballast, Reflector Hood

    Bluelab Truncheon Nutrient Meter Stick

    Essentials pH Meter

    Airpots

    Coco

    Thoughts please before I buy...
    I would have liked to have gone with a 5 inch fan 323m3/hr and filter for cost reason but been advised too small

    Thanks in advance

    Yeah, it's a big jump from the 5" to 6" fan & filter but for your light it's probably the best idea...

    a 6'' extractor will work easily on 50%-60% power
    as with a 5'' you will be running it at 80%-100% power

    so less noisy running it at lower speed, also with a 6'' you won't have to upgrade come the hotter summer nights next year,

    needs a controller in there as well...
    also thinking of
    cinex
    blue dreram
    wonder woman
    gorilla glue#4.
    one of those
    under the impression they are easy strains to grow.

    Most strains are easy to grow mate. Biggest mistake most new grower make is over feeding.

    Blue dream is an awesome strain too Look forward to your diary fella...

    Looks like a good setup on paper. And get a watering can, a big one. Put a finger from a rubber glove over the hole and pierce a hole. Slow feeds work best for coco.

    I know nothing about the strains sorry.

    During the simmer you will need an intake too, or use a bit of your ducting and screen the hole with netting.
    Looks good though buddy.

    My vote is GG#4 but you can't go wrong with any of those. Setup is legit. It's good advice about the overwatering. That seems like everyone's first mistake, mine included. I've only figured out the watering and feeding 10 months in. Good luck the rest of the way!

    Tbf you can use a syringe at 100ml and feed from the that to start with too.
