5x5 grow tent

So I'm about to purchase my 5x5 gorilla grow tent I would like to get your feedback on amount of lights and ventilation personal experience with brands durability before I start to buy any tips and advice is greatly appreciated I plan on starting with 9 auto flowering

TO much info... My advice, is to put a 600Watt -1000 watt HPS in there, a 400 CMF exhaust fan, at least 175CMF intake, 2 osculating fans, and a carbon filter that fit no lower than 6 inch ducting. Other than that, what you asking is to wide spread... Thats like asking 400 different bakers of their recipe of how to make cookies... it's all going to be different and overwhelming... Does it mean its wrong because they differ? no, each person and grower has his own experience,preference, and knowledge that may differ from others. There 4 million way to skins a cat in this case... you asking for 1 is just damn near impossible.. Start learning the basic bro, read around here, watch tutorial growing videos on youtube, and above all, READ! Constantly... Watch "ready set grow" vol.1-3. Very good videos for learning the basics. Good luck!

ALso, what size of pots, what type of lighting, what type of nutrients? what type of soil? Humidty levels, what level are you PHing at? You need to list a lot more specifics before anyone can help you with tuning in your set up bud.

Thanks for the reply and I have been doing that read a ton of forums and seen lots of vids I get the whole light/ventilation/ph/humidity setup the part giving me the most problem is the soil and nutrition throughout grow I want to use 5 gallon containers 9 auto flowering plants and the reason my question is widespread is because I like to gather whatever info people tell me and see what they all have in common because like you said what works for someone might not work for someone else doesn't mean there wrong but seeing what every one does and what they have in common could help thanks again

Ah I see, that is a good perspective, but you wont get many responses as most people wont want to take the time and break down their processes and methods for you. Most people will input advice or helpful criticism if its a specific questions your asking. Thats all I was getting at, is you wont get many responses with that wide spread of a question. Hopefully someone else can chime in and drop some of their perspectives for you to correlate with. Other than that, you kinda have to figure out what setup your gonna want, and then from there we can help you tune it in and possibly give advice on better equip or this and that. What kinda light are you going to use? Like how much wattage, HPS or MH? What are you planning on using as an exhaust or an intake? Thats where you gotta start. Thinking about how much and what type of lighting your gonna want. Then get your air flow figured out, then form there, light and air tight configuration. Then, you can start focusing on your plants, and what type of soil.

I would recommend, getting a inline 400CMF fan for your exhaust. Get an air cooled hood (600 watt- 1000watt) HPS, hook a carbon filter up to your exhaust fan and stick it high up on the roof of your grow unit.and then have it connected to your air cooled hood. Open up light tight vents at the bottom for passive intake (the exhaust will cause negative pressure to suck out and thus pulling air in threw the lower vents. Then just keep your shit tuned. 65-80* F Temps, 20%-45% Humidity, Water with PH water of 6.0. And thats it, just let her grow!

If this is your first setup, don't buy the expensive stuff. Gorilla tents are nice, but not for a beginner. There are a ton of hidden expenses that you are not thinking about and you will go over budget fast with such an expensive tent. Agromax tents are perfect to start with. A 4x8 with 2 600w lights would be perfect for a beginner. Buy good bulbs and ballast, but save money where you can. If a painted white wall will work well for a grow, why do you need to buy the most expensive tent you can find? Just sayin..

If you are financially capable then buy the expensive stuff buying stuff twice adds up.
