I'm putting together a grow room setup plan/idea. I want to get a pretty decent setup before I jump into my first grow as it seems pretty important and essential to do it right. I'd rather spend the money the first time instead of going back and re-buying something because it was cheap or whatever. Anyways I am only planning on 2 maybe 3 max plants, as its for personal use. Here is the tent:

36"x20"x62" Tent

For lighting:
150 Watt HPS Sun System light

Ventilation/Carbon filter:
4in exhaust fan with carbon filter

Hygrometer/Thermostat:

Is there anything I'm missing? I'd personally like to stay with the 150 watt HPS because its cheaper initially as well as for the electric bill, as well as it doesn't need a ballast or cool tube. But I'm still researching this so any input would be greatly appreciated!

Not bad I would recommend bumpin that light up to - 250watts that will b more efficient 150 watts divided by 3 plants gives u 50watts per plant which is the recommended minimum . I wouldn't ever do the minimum but wouldn't go overboard either a 250 water will b mor efficient and not much more costly

Should I get a 4" intake fan for it as well or just get a little oscillating fan and stick it in there??

Just noticed the light does come with a ballast but I'm assuming it's not a large bulky one like in the 400 watt and up HPS systems. I got the light for 64 shipped so I think I got a pretty good deal on it that's why I'm going with only a 150 watt.

i just leave the flaps on the back and sides open for passive intake, works for me. i would put an oscillating fan in there just to circulate the air.
