New grower seeking advice and comments. Grow tent is 32"x32"x5'3", using Oceanrevive 400w LED reflector panel and 2 24" 24w T5s. Mount the t5s horizontal? How high above soil line? Will I need a fan and/or input output ventilation? Gonna use Black Gold soil, should I add something for better drainage? Is this suitable for 2 plants? Do I have a chance? Thanks in advance for any and all input.

Thanks ed, just seeking some direction. Not getting bashed so I guess it can't be too bad. First time will be a huge learning experience. Growing goes legal here 7/1, I just wanna do my part and grow some good weed.

I use an xml 350 ( or I did until tomorrow when I send it for repairs) and I run a 4x4x7 tent with a fan and carbon scrubber and tbh it never goes above 70 even if its 80 outside it puts off almost no heat at all but not sure about your LEDs. If you have a grow area with good air flow I doubt you will need the vents and all that but if you grow in a tent and don't want the bad smell go for it man. My basement is the best smelling part f my house thanks to the carbon scrubber and its a crappy one from china. I hope this helps and like yourself I'm learning too so one of the pros may say something else. :)IMG_20150611_221959_766-cleaned.jpg IMG_20150613_185443_090-cleaned.jpg The reason I'm running the ventilation is more for keeping fresh air in and trapping the danky smell coming out. You can get a fan and filter off amazon for like $130 and they work amazing. I'm not sure on the soil since I grow in coco but you can always put a bit of perlite at the bottom of your pots for more drainage. You can get miracle grow perlite (The only thing I would use from miracle grow) or any brand from like home depot or lowes for dirt cheap and it can be a really big help. Happy growing :blsmoke:
