Consideration of lighting, ventilation, tents, pots and other equipment.

If you are assembling the frame, add anti-vibration mounts from the beginning - it significantly reduces noise.
The main thing for me in the DIY tent was to control the light leakage. I got good results with black and white tape.
If the air inlet is passive, the total area must be greater than the diameter of the hood so that the flow is not choked.
If you're thinking of expanding in the future, get a model with a slightly stronger driver and just run it at a lower percentage for now.
Humidity jumps after lights off and I want to stabilize VPD overnight. Looking for practical fan schedule tips.
A humidity controller plus lower fan speed overnight helped my small tent a lot.
If the negative pressure is correct, the tent pulls slightly inwards. That is a good indicator that the system is working.
At least: hood + carbon filter + 1-2 clip fans. Constant air movement reduces the risk of fungus.
Check the actual consumption, don't just trust the marketing Watt. I personally always look at the PPFD chart as well.
A 240W class LED on a 2x4 is already a good start. It is better to take a dimer model, lower the power in VEG.
