When you’re starting out in the world of hydroponics, it can be hard to know where to begin. At One Stop, we like to make it easy, so we’ve selected all the components you need to get up and running and created our Budget Kits.
They are designed to ensure that you get the best quality gear at the lowest prices possible.
Let's start with the tent
The BAY6 grow tent makes an excellent home for your indoor garden. It's a beginner level grow tent that provides the basic features needed to produce excellent results without breaking the bank, with durable canvasses, 95% reflective mylar interiors and drawstring ports for your equipment.
The lighting
It’s important to match your lighting to your space; you'll need a 600w light for each 1.2m square area. Our Budget Kits come with digital ballasts, 600w dual spectrum lamps and the classic Euro Reflector. Going digital gives you the ability to swap between 250w, 400w, 600w and overdrive settings, which increases output by 5-10%. This means that when outside temperatures are too high you can lower your output to keep your environment optimal. Digital ballasts output more light than magnetics and run much cooler.
Hanging equipment is also included, as well as a heavy-duty Maxibright time switch.
The extraction
Environment is everything. Keeping your plants in optimal conditions will ensure that you get the biggest, most flavoursome crop. With this in mind, we made sure that these kits give you everything you need, with the dual-speed Mixed-Flow fan, Mammoth Carbon filter, ducting and clips.

To house your plants, you get 4 x 12 litre Root Nurse fabric pots for each light. Fabric pots are much better than regular pots because they incorporate root pruning; as roots push towards the edge, the outside air kills them off at the ends, sending a signal to the plant to produce more roots. This prevents root circling, and you get a much bigger, stronger, radial root mass.
Essential extras
We stock a range of Add-Ons that will get the best out of your Budget Kit, including media, nutrients, saucers, clip-on fans, hygrometers, jugs and syringes. Choose between coco and soil versions, with options available for one, two or four lights. It's also worth investing in a separately available pH and EC kit, too.
Happy growing!
