Good first time setup?

This is my first post here on rollitup. I have been doing a lot of research on what equipment to use. Below I have a picture of my online cart. I also have links to the individual items.

I have a 11x11 apartment room with a window. I can not vent out that window, but can leave it slightly open for air ventilation. Can I vent the air from the tent into the living room? In the living room I can put fans in the windows. My living also has a wall AC unit.

Is this the best setup for me? Thanks in advance!

Looks good to me - pretty competitive prices. Personally I would go with a 600w - can always dimm to 400...

strong fan for that limited space. You could budget even lower on the fan and carbon filter, but thats your choice.

From my research I have found that most tents from ebay and amazon are chinese knockoffs that aren't as good quality... or can you direct me to one that isn't?

Also, I don't know a lot about wiring. But I managed to open the breaker box and found what breakers go to which outlets and marked them on a chart accordingly. I know almost all of them are on a 15 am circuit but I don't know if it is 110 or 220v or what gauge wire they used. Is it possible to run two tents in the room on different circuits for a sea of green? Also, can I use an extension cord for one of the tents?

Get the 600watt lumatek,or the fans and rest are overkill. Besides, 600watts is where its at for smaller tents

I got the 3x3 silver edition tent from greeners. I like it a lot. I was going to get the pro jardin one but changed my my mind last minute ovet the strength of the bars, steel, and the thickness of the fabric 600d.

You stated that I could get good tents for half the price or less from amazon. Well, no offense... but I don't think that is correct. You even stated you bought the silver hut that is smaller, less quality, and more expensive....? I think I will stick with Secret Jardin Dark Room. Everyone I know that has one loves em and they are cheap. Good try though.

already got one from amazon a 4 x 2 for $82 after everything. it works great and i like it. It seems exactly the same. Amazon pulls shit from different stores if they don't have it. So ultimately they still comne from a hydro shop.

I want a tent for chronic... actual dank sticky chronic. I have seen so many successful grows with the DR120. I think I will stick with that. Thanks though. Also, I am still waiting for someones answer on the extension cord. Do I need a special extension cord? I need to plug a surge protector into it as well. Is that a good idea?

I have three ebay tents and they perform amazingly - to each his own though.

Hopefully you're ballast cord is long enough to go right to the wall. Everything else should be fine on a standard power strip - preferably one with a built in surge protector. The more extensions the harder it is to pull power and the more your bill climbs to try to keep extension cord length to the bare minimum - and the thicker the wire the better.
