For some reason I can’t find the manual one with the dimmer knob, but should be same price as the WiFi one
Tent is good
Fan is excellent, I have that exact one. You will not believe how quiet it runs. My tiny air pump for the reservoir is louder.
Get a 6" filter to go with the 6" fan so you don't need to get extra sized ducting and/or a coupler.
Can't give you much comment on lights. I used to use a 600W HPS/MH setup, but switched to these 3 years ago and have been satisfied. Do your research on the lights though, and read their specs carefully so you know what its really drawing from the wall and the amount of light it's outputting.
Any good 150 watt quantum board style light $109.00 would bring these girls to life. Run it at 14 inches at 50% until they are acclimated to more PFDs then over time move your light up to 24 inches and increase power by 10% per week. Don't cheap out on your lights... you've already made an investment in time and money.
Thanks for the advice! I have one of these, but it’s not really conducive for my space since I have 3 shelves needing light, so im looking for more strip lights at this point, but having a hard time finding what spectrum/light is best for cacti. https://www.amazon.com/GROPLANNER-Spectrum-Indoor-450Watts-Control/dp/B08DKYV518
If you are on a tight budget, I'd recommend the Groplanner 150-watt quantum board style lights. Normally, they go for around $90, but I noticed the Amazons have them on sale for $44 for Cyber Monday. They also offer two-, three-, and four-panel kits that cost a little more than buying the individual lights (not on sale), but they include interconnect wiring and modular link bolts to connect the lights together into larger panels. They don't use the latest and greatest "H" type LEDS, but I've seen independent tests showing they put out the light Groplanner says they do with good efficiency and proper spectrum. There's one version that's WiFi controllable (only--it requires a WiFi Internet connection) and one that comes with a physical control knob and isn't WiFi capable. I've used them for nearly two years, and they run cool and work great. In fact, I ordered a couple more on sale just now when I saw the deal they were running. Here's a link to the Amazon sale if anyone is interested. (I have not interest in these things, but Groplanner is welcome to send me whatever free stuff they'd like.)

This was $56 after coupon. It's pretty amazing and covers a 3'x3' area. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DKYV518?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
This tent is mainly spare parts and my old drying tent. I didn't expect it to do this well. Strain is Platinum Kush breath Remix. Growing in reamended Coots mix via soil test from Redbud. got it back into balance with some Zinc and Manganese. Watering about a gallon every other day with a dash of Gypsum and epsom in R/O, no Ph-ing. Letting it stay dry for a good 24hrs in between. I think i spent less than $250 on this tent all together.
I bought these Groplanner lights at $50 for both, with plans to use them as seedling ligts, but it turns out they got some power.
using an Ac infinity 6" inline fan for exhaust. With just a mesh filter, No carbon filter or anything.
Using a cheap mars hydro tent, a single 6" fan for circulation, Humidifier on an inkbird. Surprisingly maintains perfect temps and humidity.
Had a couple extra butter lettuce heads from the veg garden, so far no issues have come from adding them. leaves are surprisingly flavorful.
There is a coupon for this $49 150w light which cuts the price in half. I picked one up yesterday for $26.

I have 4 of these and another on the way: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DKYV518/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A2AJ0653QY6V72&psc=1

They are great and you can set a schedule and vary the light intensity...I only have mine set for about 20-25%. They are also only $25 currently.

These lights handle not only my succulents, but also my bonsais and herbs.
