3x3x7 (ft), equipment reccomendations?

I just picked up a 315 cmh and I'm looking for input into the build. Budget is important to me, but quality is more important.

I was thinking of building the 3x3 space out of plywood against a corner, but I'll likely break down and go with the gorilla or a cheaper 3x3 tent. I might move within the year and demoing out a space seems tedious and a waste except experience.

For now my lowest ambient temps the basement will get to is 40 degrees. And highest humidity is 60%.

Ventalation Equipment I'm considering.

- Ac Infinity Cloudline t6 (I've got to admit the mounted LCD controller is rather appealing)

Or

- Hyperfan 6"

6x16 inch carbon filter (Hearing Phresh a bunch and I'm not sure if it's overhyped.)

I was thinking about trying out orca film if I build the space myself.

For the smallish spaces I've worked out in planning, the materials for DIY areas have always exceeded the price of a midrange tent. The reflective materials alone cover the value completely in many cases.

I have the T6 and it's the beezzneeez! It's attached to a phresh filter as well. zero smell.No hype.
Have a look at apollo horticulture grow tents. Reasonable and good quality.

I agree that Apollo makes a decent tent and not very expensive. Good choice on the 315 cmh, I hope to try one out in a few months. For a fan I really like the Can Max fan pro but the cloudline does look nice and I havent seen any negative reviews on it.

It seems like the t4 might be a better option for me currently, temps are fairly cool in the winter and in summer the basement only hits 72 f on the hottest day. Considering still but talking aloud for any imput.

posted in noodle led's thread about strip leds and maybe help w a small build nut im also looking at tents ventiation etc. I'm starting over and now have very lil income. so looking for economical solutions to get going.

I am a trial and error guy. This is what works very well for me. I use cloth bags. They work better than any pots and it impossible to over water. I use Faford soil plain, Fox Farm Big Grow for vegetative and Fox Farm Tiger Bloom for Flowering. For lighting I use cheap Cheap Chinese all spectrum lights. These cheap lights work very well, much better than CFL. Also, molasses helps in flowering and a little thrive makes a bit of positive difference.

For grow tents I make them out of Owens Corning insulation panels from Home Depot. They take white paint real well and sometimes I line them with milar.

What matters most is having good seeds and sometimes that is illusive. When I get good seeds I breed and get a five year supply. I don't mind saying that there is not a lot of integrity in the seed bank business.

I have to deal with cold temperatures and plan on building with 1" thick, foil faced insulation board. I'd love to hear about your builds. Any pictures? What thickness do you use? Joining method? Tape, screws, glue?

Here's my favorite thread for high yield in a small space, one 400 watt, one plant.. He used is a slightly modified wf that did not circulate.. Harvest under 100 days from seed, 11 oz.. He also shows the correct way to scrog to achieve max yield..

A 3x3 tent is perfect for one 315 watt lec light and one plant in a scrog screen..
I used 2 modified waterfarms that circulate their own water from the reservoir using only the drip ring in each wf. grow bucket.. gravity return to reservoir.. Just a matter of a simple change in plumbing.. no other water pump but the dripring.. Each drip ring only moves about 5-6 gal of water an hour from the reservoir to each waterfarm, separate from the other....
check my post before this for a link to my first grow with the 315 lights.. 1.15 gpw average for the 2 plants, 26oz total....Each plant in 24x32inch scrog screen..5 week veg from seed, 9 weeks flower..

Im thinking about doing dtw coco 9x 2 gal pots or 4x 3 gal pots for final containers. Using jacks 321, recharge and a soluble fulvic acid.
