Help a total newbie with his first setup (please ^^)

[Inko]

Have a grow tent (55x90 cm / 2x3 ft) and was thinking which LED and carbon filter to choose..
It will be in an apartment so the filter is essential and the voltage is 220 with european plug.

As stated in the title this is my first time so thanks in advance for the patience.

Hey! Do you want to go DIY with the leds or plug-n-play?

For the smell.. This setup might cost a bit more, but im sure its really damn effective

Hey!
Better plug-n-play due my inexperience..
For the carbon filters I like the setup, but again need help for the model or at least the specifics (found a lot of guides online but a lot of times they contradict each other)

What's your budget?

 

[Inko]

More or less 300$ but if needed can go a little bit up

look at rhino pro 4" filter or mountain air.
You want a quality filter if smell is important.

Thanks a lot!
Think that I'll go with the ZEUS LIGHTING S (just to dubbed check, is the model you linked good for the measures of my grow tent?)

Well, for fans and filters.. lets say you have a 2x3x5 grow tent which means its 25 cubic feet.
The fans on the market aren't exactly 100% accurate on the cfm info, so I'd multiply the inside area (25cf) by 1.2 or 1.25 to create a negative pressure.
You will need something that can move that much air at least once every 2-3 minutes or even less, its up to you.

For the carbon filter, I'd go with just a slightly bigger one on the inside and for the outside one that matches your fans cfm (cubic feet / minute) for such a small tent, you wont really need anything big and fancy. If you have access to a 3d printer you can easily 3d print the outer part of the inline fan and sandwich a 120/140mm pc fan between them. They work just as a store bought fan, but its cheaper and usually more quieter, tho you'll need a fan adapter to run them, but they are pretty cheap and you can get them anywhere.

I've spent the last 1-1.5 months researching these things and these are the things i will do in my grow tent.

Best regards,
Koda

I double checked the zeus, I would scrap it, sorry for that.

Two reasons the spectrum and the fact it doesn't dim.

They have made that board using just mono diodes, not the warm white we normally use.

like this

308 XT High-Performance KIT 3500k - CC module* LM301B EVO

This doesn't come with the driver.
If you chat with them or email them tell them you want a kit in 3500k with a dimmable driver of 150w they shoube able to sort it out for you.

Sorry for misleading , that board is new and I didnt check the spectrum.
