Critique my build

OK folks,

I am putting together a new indoor tent set up and I wanted to get your opinions on the equipment I have picked out and recommend anything I missed, or if you have better options please let me know! Also, some of this stuff I can get cheaper locally. I just wanted you all to be able to see what is thinking.

Looks good man. You might want to add some perlite to ffof at around 25-30%

You also might not need the humidifier but instead a dehumidifier.

Other than that, you should be up and growing in no time.

Good luck and happy growing

Sweet. I'll look into the perlite. Think I'll need a dehumidifier? I'll just have to see when I get it set up and running.

Nice hardware, exactly the type of setup i would go with if I used a tent. Good luck!

I literally went down the list of stuff that come inside the HTC complete kits and with my prime membership in coming in at 200.00 cheaper. I still one the fence about the soil. That fox farms stuff is expensive. Are there any cheaper alternatives?

Also, I have used the fox farm nutes before and had great results, so I am planning on using them again, but are there any cheaper alternatives that give the same results? I going to be growing autos for the most part, so they don't like a whole lot of nutes anyway.

Mother Earth Coco... $27

OK so after adding perlite and adjusting the soil quantities, the build comes out to 628.99 shipped. With free two day thanks to prime.

The HTC 600w complete kit comes in at 569.95 before shipping and with out a carbon filter. After the carbon filter upgrade and shipping it comes to 806.92

The HTGoogle kit does not come with perlite, Fox Farm soil is an upgrade to pay for, it does not come with the temp/humidity display. The upgrade for the exhaust and carbon filter is 105.00 for a small 4 inch system.

I guess the moral of the story is, put the time into looking each part up and you can save a boat load of cash.

thats what i did had some stuff already from the first grow box i made and got every thing cheaper then htg form amazon my 32x32x63 tent and 4" inline fan carbon filter combo and a 400w mh/hps cool tube every thing for 332$ and the smallest cheapest complete setup on htg after upgrading the inline fan would of been 540$ smh

So my new tent worked great. Had some heating issues and I ended up struggling with humidity. I got deployed for a bit so I'm ready to get another grow going. I have a few pics of my babies from the first grow and I'll put them up later on.
