New Grower Never grower! Need some advice.

[Overthinkergrower93]

Hi guys, 1st off this might be long....
Just purchased a few mephisto genetics and need advice on equipment. I have only have a 80cmx80cmx160cm tent, hoping to fit at east 4 beauties in there in 8-12l pots with bio bizz light and their nutes..
I'm struggling with picking correct light and C.F..
I was thinking of a 400w HPS with a cool tube and a 5" fan and cf with insulated ducting with a fan controller (for stealth) and some small fans for circulating the air. I wasn't planning on getting a fan for bringing air in as I'll be hoping my exhaust fan will create negative pressure and suck through the vents. If that's even a thing? This is why I need help I'm just panicking with looking at hundreds of different set ups and just want it to get perfect, I understand 1st grow won't be perfect but constant research will hopefully help me get there. Thankyou for reading, any kind of reply would be appreciated and taken in!

Check out the off the shelf screw in led bulb thread out in the diy led form. I was using a 400 watt hps air cooled in a similar size space and it was very hard to keep Temps in range.

I think four in that space will get to be to much. It was for me. I just grow 2 now and do a little lst and a scrog and that fills my grow space.

Here is my setup now a 4 in fan 200 cfm that is what they claim. Vented to chimney. Than my diy 250w led bulb light. A 6 in oscillating fan for air movement. Two autos in 5 gallon fabric pots scroged.

Thanks man will have a look that up.. what kind of yield do you get? Just curious I'm trying to find best ways to get as much as I can as I live in a rented property so will get dismantled for a month after each grow

Dam that' looks sick I'm gunna have to look into a scrog.

I have been getting 150 -200 +grams that was with the 400watt hps. This is my first grow with led but I think I'm going to get 200+ this time

Definitely look into scrog it increases your yield . More main bud sights lower more even canopy and better light penetration. Perfect if you don't have much head room

Sweet nice yield man! How's the odour with a 4" fan n filter? I may leave out cooltube and get a bigger inline fine?

I have a carbon filter but I don't use it my fan vents out the chimney out the roof so smell really isn't a problem for me. If u can get a 6in fan and good quality carbon filter if you are venting it into your house.
