Hey guys, I've grown before but not at this level. I have a 5x5x7.5 enclosure. I will have 4 plants. My local shop gave me a quote on some start up equipment. I've tried my research but the information is all over the place. I thought I'd try this method. So.....any help will be appreciated.

I would get two 315 Cmh vivosuns with bulbs for 200 to 250 each off Amazon then get ducting and vent fan and carbon filter you can make a diy one for under 100$ if your handy also a small dehumidifier and humidifier would be very beneficial. Also you have medium amendments and or nutes .

-Vivosun 1000w hps air cooled hood kit
They work well enough to get started, and should get you through a few grows just fine. Upgrade the hps bulb however, it helps performance greatly. (This is a bit overkill for starting plants and early veg) house LED bulbs work really well for starting plants in solo cups. I'd also pick up a 600w bulb as well to help the transition from younger plants to more hardened ones.
-Hortilux Super HPS 1000w

-AC Infinity - Cloudline S6
-I just really like this ducting, and there is plenty of it.
You'll need fans for air circulation, oscillating type are much more preferred.
-Hygrometers

*How important is odor control for your situation?

*What type of medium (soil, soil-less, ect.) Are you thinking about using?

jesus that would be like a third of the cost if you buy online. Ipower 6" fan and filter is like 100 bucks for both..130 for a light and reflector with both bulbs.

I'm trying to keep it on a budget. This is 100% personal use. I've been a cannabis patient for a while now and I am honestly just sick of buying it from a LP or my guy. I'd rather grow it myself! I plan on oscillating tower fans and possibly a portable ac unit. Odor control is important! The quote in the picture has a carbon filter but I think I'll get that online.
I also plan on using soil.

Get it off line and it will be cheaper most likely .

Are those $CAD? My concern with that is, how much cheaper online? Any recommendations on where to purchase online to send to Alberta? Is the quality of my quoted equipment actually worthwhile considering? Another issue is that this local store is local. Any issues and I can call him up and more than likely get things dealt with promptly. I prefer to support my local community although at what cost?

You can get all that you need for around five hundred if you go with Vivoson lights 1000w dimable ballast or Cmh with your venting
