I like the mars hydro, i think you can get a 300 model for about 80 bucks new or a 400 with veg and bloom for just a little more. They also have some newer reflector models that are suppose to be good. You can also get a 3by3 tent for around $100 or so. The mars hydro 1200 is the only led i have ever owned but i am very pleased with it. It would be well worth the investment.✌

Your welcome Tom. I'm an advanced nutrients person but hey it's all the same concept lol
Depends on what you cal budget. My setup is on the lower end and looks like this:
32"x32"x63" tent: $75
4 Mars Hydro 300 Old School LED lights: $280
4-5 gallon fabric pots: $8
Dyna Grow Foliage Pro and Pro Tekt: $35 (will last more than 1 grow)
Duct Fan and filter: $145
Ducting: $15
Tower fan: $20
Seeds: $45
Thermometer/Hygrometer: $8
3 sets of light/filter hangers: $18
PH Meter: $14
If you get proficient with it, you can yield 12+ oz per grow with that setup.

12+oz would be a really good yield on an autoflower
Tom - I decided to keep reading about that Mag + Cal to the point it was giving me a headache. I called Advanced Nutrients support and they said I do not need it with my LED grow because the 3 part system (Micro, Grow, Bloom) already contains everything to keep the girls healthy. Now its time to smoke a fattie to get rid of that headache haha

Never used it and don't plan to. My nutes have it included and haven't seen a need to add extra. I know other in other brands it is left out and you have to add it separate.

Seems to be huge if you are growing in coco & not so much for soil where mixes already contain nutrients
Either way, good luck with your Calmag and I hope your girls take it and dont reject it with burns or anything else. Solid work so far my friend

Unfortunately, for my sub $700 setup, I've probably spent $1,200 through trial and error and buying unnecessary stuff. I've had a lot of fun along the way. Guess that's where the other $500 went.
Took me a while to figure things out (mainly feed related), but even in a small 32"x32" tent, with the right seeds, it is possible. I had a freebie Dinafem Critial + Auto which yielded around 3.75 oz. I think with the experience I've gained, 4 of them now might be close to a pound.

It smells when you open the tent? That wasn't written on the packaging!!!! LOL kidding, I cant wait to get that smell, hope it doesn't last long though once I close her back up.
Thanks Tom, yeah it is starting to come along now, the girls are getting more leaves, I just hope I don't screw this up for my 1st grow, my nutrients will be here tomorrow, but still 2-3 weeks away before I feed them any.
Keep up the good work buddy, and go get yourself a nice carbon filter to help filter out that air before its removed, it's not all about the smell
Hey- I found this steal on Amazon- haven't smelled any thing since installing ... best price around came right away .
iPower GLFILT6M Air Carbon Filter and Odor Control with 1050+ IAV Australia Virgin Charcoal for Inline Fan, 6-Inch, Pre-filter Included, Reversible Flange
4inch is like 37$
I paid $37.00 for mine but it's a 4" filter conection. All said and done I got the variable speed fan, ducting, and the charcoal filter for about $95.00 US. Ordered from the Zon.
I have the same filter. I've had it about a year. Once the current grow hits flower it will let me know if its time to change the charcoal or if I can squeeze another grow out of it.

Says you can flip it around and use it again from the other end

I am using that EXACT same model right now in my tent, they say it is reversible, I never made it that far yet
I also added the 1 X 4” iPower inline exhaust @175 CFM
And I added Active Air ACSC Duct Fan Speed Adjuster
My tent is 2.5 x 2.5 x 5.3 so @175 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is awesome but not needed for my tent. I have it on low power and she is removing air perfectly. Wont be able to fine tune until I start smelling anything, I may have to crank it up, but for now its doing the job replacing air
All purchased on Amazon

I am loving my biggest ww that i topped on day 15, she is going to be very bushy. The other 3 ww are really taking off also. Think i will like this strain of auto. They are no signs of flower so far, im on day22. I hope they will stay in veg at least two more weeks or more. Maby. I will get a decent yield off or them.✌
