So, after Christmas break I will be ready to start growing indoors, and as the title says, I'd like to yield a pound or so every harvest with a ~$1000 setup. If I'm a little over budget, that is ok, but not going over $1500. I prefer quality products with warranties. Read NO CRAIGSLIST. I've seen others pulling 1 pound yields out of 3x3 tents, and if this is possible after I get dialed in, it sounds ideal. I know the basics: grow space, light, air circulation, exhaust fan with carbon filter, medium, and nutes.
So, is it possible to pull 1 pound from a 3x3 tent? I've seen Apollo 3x3 on amazon for as little as $100.
I've been considering 600w HPS vs COB. I think I could manage the higher temps of HID with a dedicated inline fan if the yield warrants it. I know this is a controversial subject. Thoughts?
I plan on using Smart Pots (or similar) and Fox Farm Soils - Happy Frog for seedlings, transplanted into Ocean Forest. Added perlite if necessary.
I've seen various 6" inline fan and carbon filter combos on amazon for $150 or less. iPower, Apollo, Ventech. Are there any to steer clear of?
Nutes - open to suggestions here. I'd like to keep it simple. Also, will I need pH, TDS meters?
Like I said, I won't germ my seeds until after the first of the year, so no big rush. If there is any new equipment coming out (mainly lights I suppose) I would wait if there was a benefit.
Thanks for any and all suggestions. Knowledge is power.
