Hi there, I'm looking to try one plant first as I am in England and growth is illegal I've spent around £200/$325 on a small indoor tent, 400watt HPS bulb and relactor, oscillating fan, soil, extra nutrients for each stage, a extractor fan with carbon filter, 3,5,10 gallon pots, a PH meter, a PPM meter, a temperature and humidity meter, I've tried to purchase everything but I'm sure there's something I've missed out?
Help!!!! Is there anything my Auto set up is missing?

Create one post only, seeing as this is your second on the same subject. You are going to hear shit if you do.
Ok thanks how do I delete this one?

None really - you should do very well - concern is heat ; but you do have a fan. It will take some time to "dial" in your plants and learn how to use you "equipment" (maybe one grow but the next grow is always better than your last !)
Thank you for that, I have been told to get another type of fan to bring air in?

Yea, growing good pot ain't as easy as people think, at least people that never grew any. It is a learning experience for sure, but u are in the right place for all the help you will need. There a lot of good people here that will be happy to help, but read all you can, and it will work out well for you. Good luck

sounds like a really good set up for your first time growing, i know some stingy af people lol!! dont forget the trays for your pots, water runoff can be annoying in high numbers.
Perfect thank you and do you have a ballast, is it essential and will I need one?

You need to figure your "lumen" or "watts" for your area (lumens is L x W = ? then ? x's 2,000 = answer - then your watts is L x W = ? then 60 watts x ? = answer) (60 is the amount of watts needed to cover one square ft if figuring lumens 2,000 is the amount of lumens needed to cover one square ft) If you use these formulas you will get in the ballpark with out using a meter)
