Small grow tent off eBay - need advice

[pegz]

I'm thinking about purchasing this:

and maybe this light to go with it:

Would the light be too powerful for such a setup?

Any tips on what else I need for my first attempt at growing would be much appreciated, there's a bunch of stuff here: http://stores.ebay.com.au/melbournehydro

I have that exact tent, its awful.  DO NOT buy growlush hydroponic supplies off ebay.  No tents, lights, fans, nutes, etc. Don't waste your money, its all shit.  Spend up now on qulity products and you won't regret it one bit.

Any suggestions on a good quality small tent? I'd prefer one that isn't 2m tall.

Hi  - I looked at your ebay  links  and  the  goods.   You have  had   some  feedback on the  tent and the light  kit will  suffice. A word on the light kit -  what is your intention in terms of  a full grow v's  an early gernination/veg  chamber.  The kit  suit's an  all stage (full grow - seed  to  smoke)  but the  tent a  little  small  however 'do-able' subject to yield loss due  to size of  the plants  being  restricted.  That tent is    pretty "low-quality"  and  as others  say it is  worth your   time  and  saves   effort   if you  buy the   quality lines in gear (meters,nutes - with  the  exception of   overpriced  Canna  products - ballasts, globes, fans & filters).

 

I  have  a   2nd hand  "indoor elements"  tent I  am  selling as  a  complete kitg including  twin blue  18" Fluro's, clone  chamber.  I  don't  really  wish  to   separate   and   want to  sell  everythin  at once  as a kit.  

It's  good   for   clones or  set up  for  a   veg period  or  for   a  'Mother' (keeper).  Here is   the link if  you  want to  check it out.

You want one higher then 80cm, trust me.

 Aid light and a pot you will have like 30cm (maybeless)  of space to grow a plant . 1x1x1.8 would be much more useful with that light .

 A cupboard setup with that light may be another option for you .

Your best bet is to not buy any of that crap from that site.

A lot of people here on ozstoners have brought Grow lush gear  like ballast's an have had fire's with them, all Grow lush gear is low grade shit.

 

       Hope this helps you.

Thx for the replies.

 

If anyone could help me with a basic first time setup by listing some products or brand names that would be great.

 

P.S. I'll check out these banners sites.

After more reading and thinking I've decided for now that purchasing something like this: http://glandorehydro.com/Grow-Tent-All-you-need.html might be the easiest way to get it all going pronto. I'll be going with a slightly smaller tent 80 x 80 x 180 and using a run to waste system.

I don't care about making it as cheap as possible, otherwise I would DIY at least some of it. My main thing is to getting it going asap and to have it take up not much more space than a cupboard type setup.

Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.

P.S. I'm inclined to go with a 400w light... or should I grab the 600?

[Badseed77]

Maybe get a digital ballast that can do both 400w/600w  and just get the 400 w lamp for now . That way if you decide you want to up grade or try the 600w you will already have the ballast and will just need a 600w hps lamp .
