Nice gear but I'm not being cheeky I reckon u could have got a few better things for your setup at alot less cheaper may even half wot you paid for good brand names I just got a new sunmaster 660 dimmable for 90 quid brilliant ballast and a 600 watt duel spectrum bulb for 25 quid...

Yeah liek Greenhouse said sometimes name brand is not best. I have given up on specific light hangers years ago. Now I just use chain and some kind of s hook.

grab a bag of promix or sunshine#4 and use GH 3 part flora series instead of fox farms. Cheaper and better IMO. And buy TDS/EC meter pen NOT a PH pen, just buy a 2 dollar bottle of PH test solution, knowing the EC or PPM is MUCH more important than being off .2 on ur PH, and those ph sticks are expensive as shit. Cheap TDS meter less than $20.

i use the full bio bizz range from the all mix soil [enuff ferts for 3 weeks ]to the full range of grow,bloom,topmax,bio heaven and the root juice ,and the alg-a-mic[kelp extract] and its worked great for me but again its all down to availability and preference...

yea if i have to b honest the chains r full prove i still like the hangers for my filter but if i were u and i think this is the best bit of info u have been given yet.first of all when u r going to buy a lot of equipment as i have just done try and stick with one good retailer for all your goods sometimes they will throw things in because of the size of your order for free or dont u have a hydro store close to u i ordered a lot of stuff online was absoulutly delighted with it until i went into my hydro store and found out his prices were way better on most of the things i got online and trust me i done a lot of searching online so try and stick to one retailer or drop into your local hydro and i can garantee they will do their best to match any price u got online.greensea hydro online go to ebay and search for them the do absoulutly everything with good brand names at very reasonable prices u shouldnt b paying any more than 90 quid for a good 600 watt dimable with boost anywhere

Hey bud, please don't cross-post the same post over multiple forums.

Looks like you've got a decent start. Other than carbon filter, ducting, pots and some other things you can pick up after you're all set up, you're pretty well good to go.

400cfm fan is like a jet engine.maybe overkill. 600w digi tubed way to go though
One can buy a fan variable switch for ~$15, which allows it to be dialed right down to 0 RPM if necessary. I'd definitely go with something way overpowered so you can use it in larger spaces later on.

I typically run mine at full blast with lights off, and almost off when lights are out. Transferring 440 CFM in a small place is very effective at keeping things cool.
