Need some advice before i order my first complete kit to grow indoor (autopots)

[GrowGROW]

Hi guys,
I'm new to growing and want to buy a high end tent with the best stuff i can get from the beginning so i can get help with my rare connective tissue disease that causes alot of pain and nausea. thats also why i want a system that waters itself like autopots so i don't have to ruin my back watering everyday (have several herniated discs already). The water where i live is around PH 8.5 and hardness between 4-6 ° dH (German hardness degrees) and i think this is considered soft.?

This is the stuff i got recommended by the guy in the online store and just wanted to check with you experts if i should change anything before i click on order.
i believe the guy is wrong about one thing and thats fitting 12pcs 15L autopots in an 5x5 (150x150x200cm) tent since i see many here saying 4-6 is more then enough for the best results and yield.

Here is the list so far with links to the stuff (I hope):

OPTIC SLIM 600H DIMMABLE LED GROW LIGHT 600W (120 DEGREE) 3500K
1 pcs
GHP PRO REGULAR HANGER, SUSPENSION SYSTEM, CAPACITY 48KG /PAIR
4 pcs
DIGITAL THERMO-HYGRO METER WITH PROBE
1 pcs
FAN PRIMA KLIMA PK200 MES-2, 2 SPEEDS, 450/950M3/H
1 pcs good for a 5x5?
PRIMA KLIMA ECO FILTER K2604 200MM, 1000M3/H
1 pcs good for a 5x5?
ALUFLEX 200MM, 1M
2 pcs
6POT SYSTEM WITH 47L PLASTIC TANK
2 pcs so 12pcs of 15L pots in total is that too many for my tent i i believe? isn't it better also to have one bigger tank instead of two smaller with this kit speacially if i have to check PH and add nutrition?

BUDBOX PRO XL+ 150X150X200 WHITE
1 pcs
I first wanted the gorilla 152x152x240cm but the guy in the store said the budbox is better? but isn't the gorilla with 40cm higher tent better? the budbox is a little cheaper but i really don't mind to add if the gorilla would be better suited for me and the plants.

PLAGRON TERRA TOP GROW BOX
1 pcs the guy said these are good since it doesn't clog up the autopots? should i get something else also or better?

SUPPORT NET FOR BOX150-150X150CM
1 pcs

MILWAUKEE/SHARP PH51
1 pcs

I'm thinking in growing in cocos and perlite or leca mix but not really sure yet whats best to mix for my system?
Should i add anything or change anything or just click on order now? =) i eager to order it as fast as possible so all advice is gold!
I appreciate all the help i can get this is a big investment for me and i really would like to get it right from the beginning.

Will try to update as soon as i start so you can follow my growing and grow with me =)
Thanks alot!

Best wishes,
GrowGROW

Woah ther fella.
Couple of things you may want to look over.
Your light, while alright is lacking uv n ir (which may not matter) but its foot print is small for your 58'√ tent (bloom footprint is 48')
Incidentally, if thats part of 'a deal' fair enough, but for 1000+€ i could get way better light units e.g sf4000 of top of my head)
Fans n trunking are fine.
Pots, you may wanna get a few more than you need incase you wanna start a batch in veg while others in flower so 12 (for a 6 pot rotation) is probably right although that size pot in that tent, 9 would be a comfortable fit.
Your tent is a big one for sure. But same issue re light ?!
Your store guy is right that some feeds can clog up the autopot system, will defer to his judgment as i use biobiz in coco so cant say on his opinion.
Nets are, well nets; i bought a couple to but never used em.
Ph pen is meh, blue labs or cheap shit prolly best.
May need a ec/tds meter too.
Given your physical needs a water butt and piping will prolly serve you too ( i lug 25 litre tubs up n down my loft and it does my back no favours.)
So for sure you have the basics but maybe double chack you light/tent matching.

Btw coco/ pearlite is a great mix at about 70/30.

Oh, n dont forget the most important item, rubber covered garden wire.... !
I use tones of it..lol

Thanks a lot sir! added an ec meter and also added biobizz ph-. I don't plan to get more tents so i think 6 autopots will be enough to start with and learn how they work. since i'm just growing for myself i don't think i will start a batch in veg while others in flower even tho that's probably the smartest thing to do in order to save lots of time.. the light has IR as i understood but lacks UV not sure if it is important either but these Samsung leds are supposed to be good and quite new tech so i think i will go with it either way. do you think smaller tent is better for yield? i was thinking i can get more space to move around in the 5x5 tent and they recommend 4x4 for flower but also state that max is 5x5 so should be okey?

want to buy a high end tent

Caution: I have owned the two most expensive tents that I will never buy again. Why? Zippers. They will fail, so it doesn't make sense to me to invest in a higher priced tents. The only zipper that has yet to fail is my very old Secret Jardin 2x2 that I use for drying.

Checkout www.cobshop.net and the Autocob. Outstanding lights. I have 6 3500K and am very happy with them.

thanks ill stick to the cheaper budbox instead of gorilla then will try to be careful with the zippers! might add two of those lights to my system if my light isn't good enough

 

[Jimmythenugg]

Its a good light, and will produce great weed if all else is dialed in. But just mho that you can get better for same money.

Quick thought as you're in Germany. Have you thought of BioTabs (easy shipping from NL and the 420 sale is currently on)?
It's an organic feed you mix into the medium at the start of the grow and only add water. It would eliminate multiple bottles of nutes to mix, plus EC & pH pens, calculations and mixing.
To help your back, I simplified my res by adding a toilet valve connected to mains water so I don't have to lug buckets around.
6 AutoPots is enough for a 5x5. I have 6 in a 4x4 and it gets crowded fast!
Good luck on your first grow

A good tip I saw was to vaseline up your zips regularly to keep them lubricated

if your in Germany look into the sanlights I've tested the Q6W on here and they blew me away also they have a v2 now that are dimmable

Too much potential build up for my taste. I use DuPont Teflon non stick dry film lubricant aerosol.
