Which 2x4 Grow Tent Setup to Buy?

I'm ready to invest $500-$1000 on a full grow tent setup. Looking to get the light, carbon filter, and tent for around this price.

So many different options, was curious as to the communities' thoughts on which package I should buy. I guess i'm considering Spider Farm, Vivosun, or that Mars brand but I'm open to suggestions. Was hoping to find a light that may be at or close to 300 watts.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'd just make sure the kit is sufficient, as often the light might not be ideal for the space, or the duct or filter will be bottom of the range.

The best thing to do would be start with the tent you want, size wise, then look for lighting to fit (in a 2x4 two smaller lights would often be better than a single 300w light, unless it's designed for a 2x4, which most aren't)
Then get say an AC Infinity extractor that's big enough for the hottest part of the year, bit can be ran considerably less speed for the rest of the year.
Then some accoustic duct, assuming noise is an issue , as it often is.
Then get a filter from a company who specialises in filters and ideally bigger than you need.

For me the brand of tent is mostly irrelevant, the height is the important thing.

Then I'd be going with a 6" ac infinity, because they do great quiet fans and are very controllable.

I'd be pairing that with a 6" rhino pro, because that's what's good in my country.
Mountain air might be better for you.
Assuming smell matters that is.

I'd stay well away from mars , especially for the lighting, too many cases of melting connections and a nightmare if you need customer support.

Check out PA Hydroponics on you tube. Guy has many videos on different set ups. You don't need to go hydroponic but he also talks about tents, fans, lights, etc. and recommends what works. He's not getting free stuff from manufacturers for pimping their products. He sells hydro kits to make his money, but along the way will talk about the other stuff needed.
Usually get what you pay for.

Solid advice as usual. I'll just add that other things might be needed, AC, humidifier, dehumidifier etc.

I won't buy those brands, but opinions vary.

The 150w Viparspectra xs1500 pro has exceptionally even coverage and is popular for 2x2 and 2x4's.

Coreywebster's advice is spot on.
Don't get hung up on a kit. You will get a better set up for less with just a tiny bit of shopping.
AC Infinity makes superior tents, and fans. As noted above get the tallest tent you can.
Two Viparspectra XS1500 pro lights will fill your tent with 300 watts of perfectly dispersed light. I have seen them as cheap as 80 bucks a piece.
I would add get a filter that is reversible, if there are screws holding it together it's probably reversible.

I also use 2 x 150 watt in a small tent after testing the grid pattern the light makes with a lumens meter. 2 150 watt lights inline but off center really gets a flat light grid in a tent.
