    So I'm looking to start my maiden grow soon, so doing a bit of knowledge gaining.

    I'm looking at starting a DWC in a 1.2x1.2x1.8 tent with a rhino pro carbon filter

    Now I want to use led and see 600w led (100w actual)
    Fingers crossed my screenshot is here as I was wondering if this looks any gd?

    My house sits above 21c naturally so not sure if I need to worry too much about low temps they might just get a little high which am I right in saying either draw more air in as ventilation or put a fan inside to move the air more will counteract that?

    Sometimes I wonder if I overthink things and confuse myself like should I be worried about circulation of air before I've even germinated a seed lol

    I grow with LEDs but it's been so long since I've done any research on them I can't tell you what a good one to buy is. All I can really say is that when they advertise 600 w but it only draws a hundred that's an advertising tactic I've seen with cheap worthless Chinese lights. And I'd run away

    A lot of guys are having success with vivid LEDs, plenty of diaries to look at and the sponsor is on this site so you can get a discount.

    Cheers buddy,
    I'll have a look at the site.

    I'd already brought a autoflowering seed starter kit from royal queen seeds but now after reading a few posts they may not be the most reliable source.
    Well I'll see what the x3 white widow seeds do plus whatever the free seed is.

    Be careful with those white widow they can get real big, there seems to be a lot of growers on the forum lately who are finding their royal queen seeds won't flower until like 60 days inn. That doesn't do anybody any good when they think they bought an auto flower.

    You can always put up a diary and have a record of what you've done for yourself as well as get a lot of good advice.

    I've just started looking thru the diary's, its gonna take a month or two to get all the equipment. But when I start I'll be keeping one on here.
    Trying to get the ball n chain to let me take up 1.2x2x2 so between know and start day things could change a tad (fingers crossed lol) oh and I'm sure ill have atleast a hundred more questions.
    Being a chef I strive for perfection off the bat so I know im going to be deflated at times but booming at others.
    Is there any real low budget set ups that work well enough to learn or is it best just to wait spend more then learn?

    I think we have a sticky around here somewhere with a forum recommended low budget setup. I spend most of my time on Tapatalk so I pretty much have to sit down in the computer to find anything. I'll post it up here if I run into it.

    100W isn't a lot of power for that space mate, if it's a budget option to get going with I'm sure it'll grow you some buds, but it's probably a waste of the tent size in the long run. What sort of budget are you looking at?
