Preparing for my second grow, my first was over 2 years ago and I was OK with the results given the difficulties and challenges I faced then, any ideas or suggestions and tyia for your time and input.

My new setup is going to be as follows:

1) 2.4*2.4*2 m OR 7.8*7.8*6.5 ft tent
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Tent material is 1680D Oxford fabric
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Lights so far I have bought 3 different fixtures

3.1) ChilLed GrowCraft X3 500W (PPF 1225)
Dimensions 108x 49.5x 3.5 cm OR 42.5 in x 19.5 in x 1.375 in

3.2) FlexStar 645W (PPF 1738)
Dimensions 127x 111x 6.7 cm OR 50.13x 43.6x2.63 in

3.3) HortiRight 720W (PPF 1905)
Dimensions 120x120x8 cm or 47.2x47.2x3.1 in

I still need two fixtures and not sure which to go with I am thinking of the

Aelius MATRX REDD (PFF 1800) dimensions 105.0x 110.0x 4.9 cm OR 41.34x 43.31x 1.93 in
Aelius REDD 690W (PFF 1776) 56.1x 30.5 x 7.66 cm OR 22.25x 12x 3 in

4D-BIOS 630W (PFF 1610), has a spectrum controller dimensions 113.9x 107.4x 8.2 cm OR 44.8x 42.3x 3.23 in

Pozeen is another option

BiosLighting is an option as well

I am open for ideas an suggestions for the remaining light fixtures.

My question regarding lights, should I get compact fixtures with high PPF 1400 and above and with 120x120 cm (4x4 ft) coverage and increase the number of fixtures ( to create overlapping between light coverage) or get light with wide fixtures and high PPF 1400 and above with minimum overlapping in coverage.

4) Medium is some good garden soil mixed with organic matter N 2.2%, P 1.1%, K 2.1%, Fe 0.6%, Ca 5.2%, Na 2.1%, Cl 1.7%, and mixed with zeolite, I would like to use air pots.

My question is what size pots, should I go with 10 big ones, or 16 medium or any other suggestion?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
do you prefer if I created an aisle in my tent or will it be easy for me to access the tent without it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extraction 675 cmh OR 400 cfm
Intake 338 cmh OR 200 cfm

my biggest issue here is how to supplement CO2 as I don't have a dual hose AC and I can't find one here

Any ideas?
