1st Indoor Grow - Ventilation

[LuvmethemQts]

This is my 1st indoor grow (last summer was my 1st outdoor grow). I just want to make sure I have everything set up correctly. I purchased a TopoLite LED 300W Full Spectrum Grow Light + 24"x24"x48" Grow Tent. For ventilation I went with - iPower 6 Inch 350 CFM Inline Carbon Filter, 8 Feet Ducting with Fan Speed Controller, Temperature Humidity Monitor & a Honeywell HT-900 TurboForce Air Circulator Fan. I'm pretty sure that's over doing it, yet I obtained it at a great price.

That's a mighty short tent. Start training early.

That I will do...or I might just simply purchase a bigger tent. Thanks for the advice.

Looks like you’re set pretty well. I have my exhaust/filter set up in a similar way, if you can move your filter further from the intake fan might be better still, but not sure that’s necessary

Looks fine for early veg but that height is going to be a huge restriction if planning to flower.
Subtract pot height and minimum light distance and you'll be lucky to have 12" to work with.

I think I might just have to train early and get myself a larger tent.

UPDATE: So i went ahead and ordered myself a 3x3x6 grow tent. If my math is correct, should still fit in the exact location my current tent is located. I also ordered the following light...but before you question my decision. Please note i did not pay $289. I was able to obtain it via Amazon Warehouse for half that price.

Send it back and spend your money on a decent light.

It's not worth the $113 I paid for it?

Obviously it’s “worth” it. People are buying it at that price. Not gunna do great work with it though. Cobs are old led technology nowadays. Maybe a great seedling veg light.

I like the honesty and explanation...Much appreciated.

BTW - This is one reason why i prefer the Outdoor grow. Unfortunately being patient isn't my "fortay/fortae".

IMO, no. The money would be better spent towards a better light.

I don’t follow. I harvest clone to finish in 3 months and could never wait for an outdoor crop to finish lol

I can't wait till it's the growing season (outdoors). Therefore doing the indoor thing to "scratch the itch".

Always ask here before a major purchase, the people here will save you a lot of wasted $$$, effort, and grief. Totally worth it to get started right when you commit months of daily effort to a project, and not get suckered by the grow industry. Check out Jack's A/B for nutrients, don't buy a dozen bottle line of liquid nutes.

Agree...Without obtaining knowledge from websites like this, I wouldn't have thought "lighting" was that important. In regards to nutrients, I'm lucky enough to have access to nutrients, additives, soils, raw materials, etc. thanks to my employer for the last 10 years - Scotts-MiracleGro.
