Recommended Setup for Beginner/Intermediate growers with a 48″x 24″x 60″ Tent with Links
As someone who has been growing for a while, I understand how daunting the prospect of starting to grow can be.
Soil or hydroponics? HPS or LED? Tent or grow room? Which Nutrients? There are so many choices, who has time to go through them all?
I have given this a lot of thought and decided to put together a kit that will contain everything you need to have a successful first grow!
The Tent
There are a lot of choices when it comes to tent manufacturers. We believe that the ViparSpectra has what you will need to provide great airflow and room without taking up a lot of space.
The VIPARSPECTRA 48″x24″x60″ Reflective 600D Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent for Indoor Plant Growing 4’x2′ is perfect for your first tent.
It comes with heavy duty zippers & double-stitched fabric to protect and safeguard your growing space. Multiple vents for varied sizes of ducting. Rectangle window with mesh to keep dust and insects out while providing better ventilation.
Strong metal poles and solid metal corner connectors that will uphold your grow tent’s frame and lock your structure securely in place.
The tent is completely light proof and 100% reflective tear-proof Mylar. The helps spead the light evenly without hot spots.
Waterproof floor with Velcro to create a extra protective environment for your grow.
Easy to assemble and use. No tools needed. They also updated the zippers and make it easily open and close.
The Tent comes with a one year warranty and 30-day money back guarantee hassle free. If you have any questions and problems, please feel free to contact us via Amazon message, we will provide a satisfactory reply for you.

The Nutrients
As with the tents, there are a large number of companies to choose from when it comes to your nutrient regiment. Because we are going to be growing in soil to help create a safety barrier for the root system, we are going to use nutrients made for soil growing.
The Fox Farm Trio is know throughout the industry to be a solid foundation for plants to thrive. Grow big is made for vegetative cycles and provide your plants all that’s needed to get through your starting phase of growing.
Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom are for your flower stages and provide everything a growing plant needs to get massive flowers/buds.

LED Grow Light
After looking around at a lot of LED grow lights, we highly recommend the Budget LED Grow Light Series 1 240W Dimmable LED. (See our unboxing video here)
Assembled right here in the USA, we always look to support companies that are doing it right. After reading up an many of the entry level lights, I believe that the Series 1 is the best bang for your buck.
