    Hi and welcome,

    I started with the exact size tent and used a 6inch extraction fan worked well. Have you chosen what your going to grown in and what nutrients you are planing on using?

    This forum has some amazing knowledgeable members on it so if your stuck just asked, more than enough members are always happy to help.

    Hi and welcome to the forum. As above, what is the make of the LED? I have the same size tent,(good for 2 auto's,maybe 3 pushing it,) You'll also need a timer plug for your light which are pretty cheap.Unfortunately, your fan and filter are going to cost you,it's just something you cant do on the cheap. I use a 4'' mountain air filter and a 4'' RAM inline duct fan. Then you want to decide what kind of medium you want to grow in? I use soil and to keep things simple i also use the OT Grow and Bloom nutes and that's pretty much it. Good luck on your new venture, there are plenty of well experienced growers on here that can help you along the way.

    My tents a little smaller and 4" vortex fan is more then enough, in fact I needed a controller to dial it down. Can also vouch for mountain air filters, mine works great.

    Do you know the make & model? (we can look up the rest!) The reason we ask is that, with LED, they state the maximum capability of all LEDs running at full tilt... which is not the same as the way it is designed to operate - Confusing? Yeah, I know

    Hi Travis 101 and welcome you've hit the sweet spot you'll get loads of help and info here. I have a 80x80x160 tent with a mars 1000 watt led drawing 150watts from the wall. you can buy a watt meter up the amazon, or check the manufactures web site for tech specifications, If its a Quantum board light intensity will be very high and you will need to dim the light or at the very least keep it high over young seedlings and plants to avoid light stress. Again you can buy a plug in dimmer up the amazon, spend a bit of time reading members diaries and decide which grow medium you are going to use, there's a wealth of info here.good luck with your grow man, keeps us all together.
