A customer has a question and I hope we can get some opinions on it, thanks.
" I got a 4x4 grow box . what is the best setup as far as light and equipment I should purchase "
You’ll get varying answers to this question. I myself use an HID fixture with MH bulb for Veg and an HPS for flower. I have the same size tent as you and use a 600w. You could use an LED light, another member will need to comment on the size as I have never used them.
I would recommend getting an inline exhaust fan with a speed controller and a carbon filter. I use a 440cfm exhaust fan in my tent.
Also some regular fans are good to keep good air circulation. And possibly an inline intakenfan tongrt fresh air in the tent.
Nutrients and a good medium to grow in.
Depends on a lot of things and can go a lot of different ways. I myself use T5 for veg. Same tent size and I run inline exhaust 6in 440cfm with carbon filter. Also 4in inline fan for intake. Where is the tent going to be set up? What time of year?
I have my tent in a shed and it is summer where I am so I need a lot of air moving to keep the temps down. I can’t run 600 HPS (which is what I was going to do) was told it will just fry my tent and plants.
A few basic pH meter, temp gauge, Nutrients which a good soil will have them built in otherwise you can get liquid for. Are you doing soil, soilless, or hydroponics?
