Indoor What's needed in my Grow Tent

[streikr]

Hi,
Im new to indoor growing and i want to set up my new grow tent with everything i need. Currently we have bad flooding in Australia so i bought a Grow Lush Tent (0.9mx0.5x1.6m) to start my seedling off in for my Guerilla grow. Although at a later stage i would like to do a full auto indoor grow (in between houses atm)

Im looking at a 14000k 130w CFL reflector combo, would this be sufficient for 8 Auto seedlings (8-14 days old)?

The tent came with 160mm clamp fan, is that sufficient airflow for seedlings?

At a later stage when i do a full auto grow i am planing on upgrading my tent with a 135 w LED UFO and 4inch inline air exhaust with carbon filter.
Would that be enough to control airflow and odour for 2 auto?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Peace.

Hey mate,your cfl should do your seedling just fine untill your ready to move them outdoors and your 160mm fan will also be ok,they just need a light breeze When your ready to start fully indoor growing a 4 inch fan & carbon filter is perfect size for your tent,I use a similar size tent with that combo and I have zero odour.and when purchasing an LED check out blackstar,they do a good range of wattage and are very well priced with a good spectrum and 3w chips. Alot of us here at AFN use them with good results.a 240w blackstar would be ideal for your set up.Hope this helps mate

Thank you for your response,
yeah i have had a look at a few different blackstars, do you think i will need a 240w light for my tent.. As i was originally thinking of a 135w ufo (45x 2w and 3w chips).

Also what schedule should i run my cfl's and fan?
I am growing:
Nirvana Short Ryder
Sweet Seeds Big Devil #2
Delicious Seeds La Diva

For seedling you can run them 24/0 if you want, I'm currrrntly running my grow on that schedule due to cold temps. But if you want lights out most people seem to run either 18/6 or 20/4..and yeah I'd say go with the 240w it will give you better performance than the UFO, I have a 180w blackstar in a similar size tent, I wish I'd gone for the 240w though so iv added some t5 as supplemental lighting. You could also mix cfl with your led mate

cheers,
may go the bigger led...
Run the fan 24 hours as well?

Yeah I run my fan all the time for a light breeze,and I run my carbon filter & fan all the time too, it helps remove shitty air,smells and keeps the humidity in check.it does lower my temp slightly but it's not a prob mate
