Grow tent Help

s8n

Folks, I'm hoping to use this current time to finally setup a grow tent and play around with some more exotic fruits and vegs (have always wanted to grow strawberries and peppers).

I'm getting a little confused by the jargon around lights

can anyone offer any suggestions on cost effective starter kits (tent, light and extraction if required) ?

Strawberries and peppers can be grown outside, no need for a tent

Don't be sharp (sand), this is the gardening forum. You're asking about an area very few have any practical experience of

It is gardening though, so where else would it be posted ?

This company in Cork and Limerick says they stock them so maybe you could contact them for some advice. I think the LED type lights are the most efficient as the frequency of the light from the light emitting diode grow light can be specific to be the best for plant photosynthesis. Infra red light is better for just producing heat and I think many florescent lights is OK as well. You can source a variety of lights that are good for plants by just searching for grow light with other types of light with good frequencies for plants like this one, but not much experience with them myself so the company above would probably have much better advice to give.
