    Default which led panel should i get? + other supplies

    so i read a little around the internet but there is nothing like professional advice so i decided to post
    im planning to get pine apple express auto flowering maybe a plant or two under 1 or 2 panels deepening on price
    in a tent of 36"x36"x72" the room is about 47" * 87" (width * height) length does not matter

    this is the panel im considering:
    VIPARSPECTRA Reflector-Series 450W LED Grow Light Full Spectrum for Indoor Plants Veg and Flower

    this is the tent im considering:
    Valuebox 36"x36"x72" Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent with Window for Indoor Plant Growing 3'x3'x6' by Valuebox

    equipment im considering:
    Advanced Nutrients Bloom, Micro & Grow, 1 L Each
    General Hydroponics pH Control Kit
    AcuRite 00613 Humidity Monitor with Indoor Thermometer, Digital Hygrometer and Humidity Gauge Indicator


    i know i will need timers for the light and probably one or two clip fans for air , i am not going to run a filter or a vent because quit is important where i might be growing.
    is there anything else i might need to consider as in equipment? would you recommend the panel i selected or something else, and about the tent as well,

    any input appriciated and thank you for your time.

    I know naff all about the leds buddy but no fan/ filter is a mistake Imo. You need silence I get that (box your fan up) it's the smell you should be worried about. These lovely ladies who provide so many benefits and fun for us, love to stink the place up.

    I have that same size tent, I just use two 9" Walmart fans, one on low blowing in at the bottom right, and the other on second setting taking air out on the top back left. I have use this for years and have never had to have a fan on the inside of the tent. JMO This has been growing in Soil for around 9 Weeks. It is a fairly large steam for that short of time in soil. It is hard as a rock and as stiff as, well you know, no fans on inside of tent. Never had any bud root. Good luck and happy growing Here is the main Bud in week 5 of flowering.

    the viparspectre is good value imo,gives 200rw and can take two auto plants to harvest.

    always start with it higher than most reccomend and slowly work your way lower till youre happy and plant is thriving,done be afraid to raise it if unsure,itll come with practise.

    as an aside i managed the cook exactly same strain with mine when i first got it.

    atb with your grow chap.

    As far as led’s are concerned you need to look at all the ratings to find the best for your size tent. I heard to look out for the amount of diodes they use the ppf and or ppfd measurements aswell as lumens and par.
    I have heard a lot of good stuff about the spectrum kings and there customer service, the price is a Cunt though
