Looks like a good start, check around where you live for the soil before you order it because of the weight they charge double online. I just got 4 bags because I found it on sale down the street for $14.99/ bag. Have you thought of food or if you’re going live organic.
Just saw the writing on the bottom, I’m a big fan of spider farmer I run two sf2000 just bought the 2nd one. Great customer service and built with same parts the higher name brands use.
I forgot to mention the multiple fans and filter. As far as soil I’m also considering Roots Organics. I know there’s better lights but I am on a budget. After lurking a few days now I realize I need a pH meter also.
Trust me I understand budget, that’s why it’s taken me over two years to get this far. I grew under 2 600w blurples that I paid $100 for both lol for a year. I got I believe 56 grams on my 1st run lol learned enough I was getting over a quarter pound out of them. Anyways back to you. I started with ff happy frog and I still use it only I went to living soil using it as a base. So recommend happy frog 4sure but I know other soils are very good just my preference and like I said you might find it around your town if you go to fox website they have a dealer search tool. Yes you will need a ph and reccomend a TDS as well. An inline fan is a definite a filter is optional if you’re not worried about smell. I recommend a 6 inch inline fan if you are going to be getting a bigger tent later 4 is good for the one you are showing though matter of fact tents are not that much different in price for a bigger one if you’re planning bigger later so you don’t have to buy two. Fox farm makes good food to and starting with the trio makes it pretty easy for a beginner later you can add other stuff but the trio will get you to a nice harvest. Umm can’t think of more at the minute but @ me like this @TASTEE if you have more questions I’ll do my best to help you out
What’s the Bluetooth speaker for? Plants will grow up angry and stressed if it grows up in a room with nickel back on repeat. Although I hear if you play Tom Petty the buds thicken up.
I would suggest you get a bigger tent than the size you’re looking at now. I’m new to all of this as well and am currently on my first grow. I only say that because you’re going to love it and if space allows it, you’ll want to go bigger.
I went with the spider farmer packaged kit. I like it. It was simple to setup and has been a solid performer so far
2.5x2.5x5’ tent
Sf1000 (new model)
In-line fan and ducting
Filter
4-5 gallon soft pots
=$375
That all works good, and I have no complaints yet. I’m just as new as you are though so I don’t really know what I don’t know. You know?
I have added a few other things like a fan, heater had a humidifier that I’m using and I bought an inkbird controller to run it all.
All that being said. I have bought a HLG 260r for my next grow. I have my eyes on a 2x4 gorilla tent and a ac infinity t6 fan.
Light timers, you might take a look at Valspar XS1500, Dimmable, Samsung LEDs, Meanwell driver. Are you growing organic? Because fox farm, most of its nutrients are not all organic.
I’m not saying that there not good products but there are limits on what to use if your going to grow organically. This is my 2nd grow, 1st one outdoor, my 2nd indoors and it’s 2 weeks veg.
I use bat guano, unslufied molasses, ground oyster shell, ground fish bone, bison magic, worm castings. Coffee grounds. Mix as a tea. FF ocean soil, with 5gal air pots. Running 2: Valspar XS1500 and 1: Mars Hydro 600w. In 4x4. With AC affinity 6t inline fan. Milwaukee 802 Ph,TdS,EC 3 in 1 tester. This is all new to me so I’m not an expert but a rookie. My friend said that with what I’ve spent I could have bought 5lbs and a ticket to the Bahamas and drink tequila sunrises for a year. Me: not as much fun.
Seriously consider more height for the tent if you can!!! You will be limited to 3 feet of growing space, equipment at top takes a foot and half, on the bottom ,pot and riser another 1.5 feet. The space in the middle is your grow space. Also if your doing photos 5/7 gal pots can help.
