Fox farms soil an nutrients but is this about accurate except the light

@Mpower11 might agree that if your not buying the light it may be cheaper to buy things seperatly.
In a kit there is not always the best quality stuff in my opinion.
Love the fox dirt it can be hard to find, so make sure you can get a hold of a steady supply.
Everything looks pretty standard.

I would agree. The “grow set” i was given had no info included with it and googling it brought up what I can tell are two price points of lights (Under 200, over 500) my set seems to be the under 200 by alot but the buds are decent size. About to get my first tent harvest so ill know what im starting at. I only gave them 60 days in vege and now that i know how theyll do they could do 90 np.
but i agree on the pre made kits. Not always the best solution.

sense I agree with everyone on the kits
If your going to hand water and grow in soil that’s a easy setup.
Tent size depends on how many plants you want. Min size I would go is 4x4 height tall as possible. View window is a nice option
I don’t recommend Gorilla tent. Product is nice don’t get me wrong but the price is so high on them cheaper options out there
Tent Clip on fans pole fans are nice to recirculate the air. The ones that move back-and-forth I have not found a good one yet they all break in a short time. So I suggest just a good fix position fan
You’re going to want good size humidifier
You’re going to need not now but probably later a dehumidifier (good size one). Mine has a hose that connects to it then pumps water to my drain. Best option if you can make that happen
Buys tips.
With the humidifier and dehumidifier do you want to purchase some thing that supports auto reset if power failure. If you automate in the future you won’t have to repurchase again.
Like Bobbie said you’re going to need those ratchets there in your picture above to hang your light. 4 in total for the light only
Are you gonna hang your carbon filter inside (if inside may need mounting straps some come with them some don’t or outside of your tent I personally hang mine outside of the tent so it’s not intruding in space. This will exhaust out of the tent
You also need a intake fan variable speed to offset the negative pressure in the tent (optional second carbon filter here if wanted)
Are you planning on putting your potted plants on a flood floor with a drain to a bucket? or are you going to just put a driptray underneath them? If your going with Driptray then I recommend having a small shop around to suck up leach water if needed. (You will need for sure when you flush)
I hope this doesn’t confuse you. Let’s start the list here.
Edit
You need a timer for your light also
You need a 15amp Circuit that nobody is using for Hydro also

I ran mine into a pitcher with metric and imperial volume markings. While running I timed it until it reached 200 mL. This is the base time for my timer. During early veg I left it at the time I originally measured. When I got to late veg I increased the time by adding a couple seconds. When I flipped to flower I increased the time a couple more seonds.
I have had issues with the feed lines getting air bound, resulting in the plants missing a feeding. I am goin to replace the 3/4” barbed adapter on the nute pump to one that has a check valve so there is no back flush and the nute lines don’t drain back into the reservoir.
I mix 4 gallons of nutes, during early veg I mixed 2 - 3 gallons. I find 4 gallons during flower lasts 2 - 3 days. Next week I am probably going to add another second or two to each feeding.
I was having issues with my nutes getting cloudy after a day or two. This only happened when I was using Hydrozyme or Cannazyme. Once I stopped using those and sticking to SLF-100 my water doesn’t do that anymore. Also I haven’t had any major pH issues since discontinuing them.
I also stopped using Hydroguard and switched to Zerotol HC. I have noticed my plants seem to have started growing faster and stronger since switching to ZeroTol HC.

Sounds like the exact problems I have been dealing with, everything you said I have experienced.
My question to you is, have you been in flower stage while using the zerotol hc? If so do you have buds?
I’m on my sixth week of flower with no buds and I can’t tell if my timer is broken on my lights or it has something to do with the zerotol hc, its the only thing left that is different from any other grow, but hopefully its the timer and the fact that I think the lights havent been going off.
Ive been manually turning lights on and off since yesterday until my new timer comes.
I use 1/8 teaspoon in my 4 gal nute water, mine lasts about 3 -4 days in flower also.

Remember what ever equipment you buy must go inside the tent or hookup outside. So make sure the tent is big effort. Now the trade off is the bigger the tent is takes away from lighting power (More area to light).
