Ok so let’s say I get that HL 600 light, is the T6 still sufficient for exhaust/ filter purposes? Also I’m assuming I leave this intake flap (small rectangular area at bottom
Of tent) open so the “fresh” air from my basement will be sucked in?

I would recommend a "can fan" to bring fresh air in if you are going to be using the t6 for exhaust. Leaving the flap open will suck air in, but it will also let a bunch of light in at nighttime.


Something like this should do the trick at a reasonable price...

A 6" should be more than enough in a small tent like that. I run a 6" in a 5'x2.5' (12.5ft²) tent, with ~480W in there and it has no problems keeping up.

I even run a 6" in my 6'x6' (36ft²) and I have had up to 1250W or so running in it, and it keeps up, though the fan runtimes are significantly longer than the smaller tent I mentioned.

Yes, if you leave that flap open it will suck in air from outside the tent.

Yea that sounds complicated lol.

For me it's just so worth it. My DabPress alone probably paid for one of my year's subscriptions lol. That thing weighs more than my first car lol

Add some free movies and music and it's a great deal I think.....

 

[DavidDellaRocco]

saved my ass more than a few times in this god forsaken lock down. lol

I even throw in things I know I can get around here, quite often for cheaper, just because. When it's -30°C and I have to start my car and warm it for 1/2hr to drive downtown 5 minutes away. Then I have to go look for it, navigating thru line ups......screw it.....'Zon that shit. And that was well before COVID lol

 

[Capt's Farm]

ya they went me to call in... i cant do it on the net... my service sucks here so it's 1 more problem
i got on metro back in like 02 or 3 when they 1st started
had the same # linked to the same email addy form day 1, then in 2013 i lost 6 months of phone service. cause beth didn't pay it.. just shot it up here arm, neck where she could, I guess, anyways when I got a new # i got the zon again but it never moved over to that phone #.. so that's the problum the whole thing needs a clear and reset. my name email addy and #'s

I gotta say, phoning Amazon, at least Canadian Amazon, has been a rather pleasant experience for me for the most part. I always get thru real quick and they always seem to get me sorted correctly and promptly.

One of the better places I've had to call for customer support, that's for sure.
Phone, cable, electricity or anything like those? Lol! I'd rather shoot myself in the face point blank with a potato gun than deal with most of them haha!

Ok so far tent 4x4 gorilla shorty
HLG 600 rspec light.....
next up.....
T6 + “can fan”

That cabinet is pretty slick but also seems pretty pricey, and I'm not a huge fan of the Kind LED lights it comes with. And not a fan of the grow tent kits either, because they usually include some sub par components. Since your considering the cabinet you clearly have a decent budget, so this is what I'd put together for a 3x3....

Light:

Model 4VS

High quality LED Grow Lights built in the USA using top quality components. 3 Year Warranty, high PAR/PPF output, low heat, close canopy operation, silent no fans, dimmable operation.

Tent:

Your source to create smart growing systems with components including advance grow tents, inline fans, clip-on fans, LED grow lights, and UIS™ controllers.

Ventilation:

CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature and Humidity Controller, 4-Inch

Your source to create smart growing systems with components including advance grow tents, inline fans, clip-on fans, LED grow lights, and UIS™ controllers.

www.acinfinity.com

A couple clip on fans or a small tower fan for air movement in the tent and then whatever you want to use for a medium. I haven't done much with hydroponics lately so if you want a pre-built hydro system best to ask someone else about that part. But all those components I listed above are way better quality than what comes in the kits.

Thank you! This is very helpful and also motivating. I kind of went in another direction w the size 4x4 and lights HLG 600. Same goal tho! Def going to use soil. I’m concerned about nutrients and what I should and shouldn’t be giving at certain timeframes.
