Ok. I have never drown before and do not have any materials yet.
Are any of the grow tent kits that have everything included to grow 2 plants worth it?
Can I put everything needed together piece by piece cheaper?
Thanks for having me and for any advise you can give.

I’m very new but after building my own grow box and trying to put it together myself if I did it again, or even when I get some good money, I was thinking about buying a premade set up. You can spend as much or as little as you want on growing, but your end product will show it

The thing with all-in-one-kits, is that you might get one or two things that are half-way decent in the kit, but then the rest of the stuff it simply crap! Anyhow, I have found that the best way to approach the building of ones grow environment is to first think about where you will be growing because the importance of the items you will need to grow in one area of the world maybe very different than when growing in another part of the world. For example, in some places you will need a dehumidifier no matter what time of the year you might be growing indoors, then in other parts of the world you won't ever need it, so the importance of a dehumidifier may be high up one persons list, while it maybe non-existent on another persons list. And that same methodology should be used for everything you might need to buy to grow nice plants in your part of the world. But there is still more to it than just that because how you might prioritize "your things to buy list" could change simply because of things like the legality of the whole growing cannabis thing, (because where you live may, or may not be in a place that you can legally grow cannabis, or it might be legal but you still don't want others to know what you are doing. So I recommend before you buy anything, that you read a lot, and also ask a lot of questions, that way you spend only what you need to spend to grow some nice plants, and I say that for many different reasons, like, for one, it just might turn out that growing isn't your thing, or you might be on a strict budget, so making a ordered list of "importance" will help you buy only the things that are absolutely necessary to grow some nice plants, for those many different reasons...

I don't know but you need to say what size room you have available. Could be 2 monsters or 2 bonzai.

Ammonical is 1.5% ureic is 2.5% phosphorus pentoxide is 5.0% and potassium oxside is 9.0%.. Would this be ok to use as a veg feed now true leaves are there ?

I believe this is a classic case of what's called hijacking someone's thread. But you want N > P > K in veg.

Awesome. What size pots? Got any suggestions for a LED light?
As big a pot as you can fit for the final pots. Figure in room for the trays if you put them in so as not to spill. Might want to get the tent first and measure twice cut once as the saying goes.

So what dose your grow box include?
I am trying to get materials to grow 2 plants at a time.
Thanks.
My box is 2x2x4 ft. Walls and door are OSB. 2”x2”s for supports. Screw together with plain ol wood screws. Painted the interior with soft white paint. Doors currently held shut with zip ties and screws, but I’m about to caulk the edges and seal the door for complete seal. Cut a whole in the lower right side for intake, and one in the upper left for exhaust. 5” holes so I can add ducting or filters if needed. Upgrading light soon but I’m running a 32w Feit 3 spectrum at 16”.

#1 That's good, it's a terrible way to die from what I hear. ;)
The first question in any thread like this should be, What is your budget?

Best of luck
