Armiore stealth build suggestions

Hey guys, picked up a cheap armiore to fix up for a budget grow. Grow area will be about 1.5'x3'x3xx. Looking for suggestions on lights (led), fan, and scrubber. I dont have a ton of money but can throw some at it. I dont figure ill get what i want with $20 lol. For lights i was considering 2 300w vipars. I know a lot of people trash talk them, but i just read through budgetgrow's thread and saw he did well with them. Will probably supplement it with some screw ins. Open to comparatively priced options as well, and not afraid of anything DIY. Ive never used anything but computer fans before so idk anything about inline fans/prices/ and best value for them. Will probably do pvc 90's for intake. I just need it to grow dank buds, be light proof, smell proof, and fairly quiet....lol......give me a build list.....TIA

What I can tell you, it'll be a fun ride. A lot of people here get very clever with their builds and it's awesome to read through and learn.

Since I don't your budget or flexibility with expense, what I'm going to recommend is sift through at least pages 1-3 of the micro area and you'll have most if not all the info you'll need.

Good luck and post your progress.

Diy cobs are not a bad option can put together 150-200 actual watt cobs for about two hundred check out cob kits pages and rapid leds pages other then that visit amazon a little 4" inline with a carbon can find them for 80-100$ and maybe a 2' 8 bulb t5 for ur veg area which run 75-125$ then figure out ur medium and your genetics and you'll be set to go

That inline is going to be the noisiest could buy a fan speed controller to run it as soft as you can get by with were you thinking soil or soiless medium?

Right now i plan on doing soil. I do square foot gardening in raised beds out doors. The recommended soil mix for that is thirds of peat, compost, and vermiculite. It does great so i figured id start off natural with that since i have it and see how it goes

I think this is what i might get just to get me functional. Then i can be acquiring some components to piece together some quantum boards and do a light upgrade down the road.

I've heard decent stuff from those viapars and that inline should be just fine and that soil mix should do you fine I know peat runs a bit acidic so just keep an eye on your ph got my first run in something similar as that and they are doing well they don't like to get to dry though that peat is a mother to get to reabsorb water
