$1200 is quite a bit of money. What light setup were you thinking? You could get a nice LED then spend the remaing money on the other necessities. I think your priority should be a good quality light, a grow tent if you absolutely need it. Right now I grow in a homemade box but would like the extra space and ease of not having walls block me. Have you got your beans yet because those could easily run you $100. Like I said go for the necessities first. Light, beans, grow medium, nutes after that take what you have left and start using towards other thing first and formost would be a TDS meter and ph meter(I have cheap ones I think $20 a piece) then a fan to blow on your plants. If your in a tent then add a cheap exhaust fan. If your gonna run a hid setup and know it will get too hot make sure you have som ducting to attach to your light and some exhaust fans to suck/pull hot air out. I personally run two 6" fans for my light one sucking and one pulling, this keeps my temps at 75-77 when I'm not in there. Well I just heard my light click on for the day I'll check back in maybe drop some more advise I have. Peace out with 1200 your more than set don't think you have to by the most expensive stuff because you don't. I put about 1000 into this current setup and grow and I was able to get enough stuff to last me probably one or two more.

What are the two "Inline Vent Duct Exhaust Fan Blower 8 inch 720 CFM 99.99 x2" fans for exactly? You have 50 sq/f of area, 2 - 600W Leds is not very much light unless yield is not a concern.

I may be missing something but why the 2 8" inline fans. With your LED you won't need 3. Maybe 1 6" with a filter? Or am I not seeing something?
