HLG,CHILLED, elevate leds aka budget led, Timber, rapid led , fluence

depending on your price and demands and your style , a light is a major part of the end results and all brands listed above I approve and they make good products in my opinion.

It sounds like you're going to use your sump pump room for your grow area??

Also sounds like you can afford to do it right the 1st time. HLG ..... IS WHERE I would start...
Hey Cap... so far I am planning to buy a 3x3 shorty tent from gorilla. (5 ft 8 max height)This is what my space allows for. I am not sure if this is sufficient height. I have read about LST and can further explore this. The lights I am setting my sights on are either the HLG 350R or HLG 300L R Spec. The HLG 350R appears to be overkill for a small space 3x3, correct?
lastly I have looked at purchasing the Ac infinity T6 for exhaust and carbon filter purposes. I will be using soil for my first go. I know this may sound moronic... as far as intake is concerned is there a vent on grow tent that I just open for this? What’s best way to setup the intake portion of the tent? Thanks so much in advance you guys are all top notch.

This light will be more than efficient in a 3x3, especially a shorty.

All tents have multiple opening, you’ll want the exhaust/carbon filter at the top and you can set up passive intake at the bottom so you’ll need to grab some 4inch or 6inch ducting ducting depending on size of fan

Ok I would go with the T6 for your fan set up. The 4will work but for the difference in price and the air flow plus the fact that you won't need to run it 100 percent.is a Big plus..

You will need some duck work to run it... But you will use the vents holes in the tent for that...

I honestly don't think either light is to much.. that's why there's dimmer pods on them, that way you don't need to run ? percent..

I ran 2 qb light's in my 3x3 240w x 2
480 at 75percent...

So I don't think either light is Overkill...
More is better here..
Your looking for 40w a sq ft for flower..
3x3-9sq.
9x40- 360 watt's....

I want to be closer to 50 but that's just me..
Soil go with fox farm then if you can get it easy..cause your going to need help with the food and these guys know it well...

I can help you by eye but to learn the right way you're going need some meters...
Really You can do the same thing with sta green from lowe's yellow bag.




This was just a fast look at e bay.. but buy something good...

Frim just got something that is good for half this price... But I just know blue lab is good...

If I go bigger, let’s say the HLG 600L RSpec
Would this also mean a bigger fan/ filter? How to manage the heat from this? How hot would one of these bad boys run?

LEDs don't run that hot and if your cramming that bad Larry in a 3x3 you'll want to be running it at about 60%, especially since you have such a low ceiling height.... that light is intense! Great to grab now if you ever intend to go up to a 4x4... Probably overkill for your space but like the doctor, I believe in overkill...

If I'm right about what your doing..ya I would get that ..you can always add 6 ft of wire and move the driver out of the tent.. I would do it anyway.. you're going to need room..

I like the idea of that light...... It gives you options down the road...

I think bh just got a few..
This guy's full of information if you're looking for the best...
All these guy's are good so soak it up ....
