Let me start off by saying I have built full rooms started in a tent. The problem is i have been out of the loop since 2007. Now that its legal for me to have 5 plants i want to get back in the garden. ive always been a hydro guy. But going stictly soil or leaning more coco. so i know things have changed. To be honest i just don have the time to sit down and decide on which items to buy. Price does not matter I just want the best money can buy. Now dont get me wrong im not looking to just throw it down the drain.

Hey so i want to run a 5x5 tent. I need to buy everything. So this where i need your help. I know this very subjective but loking for people to chime in and if they were gonna set this up new this is what i would buy.

Looking to buy
Tent
Leds
Fans
controller
nutes
misc R/O machine ph pen ppm meter etc.

Used to use gorrila tents are the still one of the best?
LEDs? what are those didnt really have them when i was in the garden last
Fans used to run vortex?
Blue labs still the go to for my ph and PPM metters?
controllers definatly want one so any advice here would be great.

The pulse pro looks bad ass any thoughts?
Also is AC INfinity legit? They have some good prices and controllers and things seems streamlined.

nutes i used several different not sure who is at the top now and not the top of marketing
the 2 things i know i will be running obvisouly a cal mag but also great white. other then that looking for a good base 2 part 3 part for soil or coco leaning coco

Thanks for your time

I've been using a Gorilla Grow tent for a few years now and it's holding up well. I'd buy it again. I've also been running the AC Infinity inline exhaust fan, circulation fan, and humidifier. All run to an AC controller and everything has done exactly what they are supposed to. Quieter than my previous gear too. It's not released yet, but they will be making a dehumidifier that works with the controller. Is it the best, dunno, but it all works smoothly once you get it set up!

For dehuey check out Quest, most energy efficient dehuey in the world with great reliability. Some of their models have an external control mode which allows you to turn cycle using a 24V circuit; youd just need some relay in the circuit, not sure though if ac controller can do that. They are pricey though....

For leds : it kinda depends on what region youre in, dont get a light that needs to go for an international flight in order to get serviced.
HLG/Growlights Australia/Lumatek are a few good lights for regions US/Aus/Eu region.
