    Default UK - First Time Grower HELP!

    Hey guys, I am looking for help and tips on my new build to be! I am nearly done setting up my new build, I've just got my tent which is personally chosen for one single plant grows maybe two max! I plan to have a 4" Carbon Filter Fan inline with the Carbon Filter attached to the top of the tent sucking air out of the tent from the top I'll have a small tent fan at the middle and bottom of plants also to increase stem growth.

    I am planning on using a VIPARSPECTRA-300W LED light setup. Are you guys able to tell me if my tent dimensions are able to do this grow. They will be (60x60x150cms). I've been told to use a 25 litre fabric pot with a saucer allowing for drainage since I won't have any runoff areas for water.. Thank you guys

    Hi & welcome

    Tent is fine for 1-2 plants, I have 3 in a 60x90x90 in two 11ltr pots, extract sounds ok too. As above, cant comment on LED but someone will be along soon who can.

    Thanks mate! I hope so, I got my tent today pretty stoked with it all, struggling finding a suitable size wardrobe I can put my tent inside.. Stealth is priority now, also do you think I should put Carbon filter then extractor then ducting ? or I've been told I should use Carbon filter inside tent then ducting coming outside tent connecting to my extractor... I think my first option is best since I've seen a lot of people on here going with the Carbon Filter attached to Extration unit inside tent then ducting out, seems and sounds logical to me. Right ? Thanks for popping in
