hello, 1st time grower here. I've been a medical user for a couple of years now and am just now getting to growing my own. I have made a full commitment to high-quality and organic medicine. I may expand after this first grow to include caregiving for others in my area. I want to give you some details: currently have 9 seedlings of Nirvana Haze #1 growing. 6 of the nine sprouted almost 2 weeks ago and the other two sprouted about a week ago. They are not sexed. Using Foxfarms Ocean Forest soil. I am growing in a 4'x4'x6' mylar tent. I am currently using a T5 fluro for veg along with 2 26watt CFL's for seedlings that are not quite large enough or need some "extra" assistance on the outer edge of the light band. After reading the Grower's Bible by Cervantes and reading several posts here I have transplanted the 2 week olds into 3 gal. grow bags. I plan to use a 400 watt HPS cool tube for flowering. I also plan to begin General Organics line of nutes in the next week or so after the 3rd set of leaves comes in full. But I have a few questions...1st is a 400 watt HPS going to be enough to flower 6 plants that are going to veg for at least another month before I begin cloning? 2nd would a 1000 watt HPS be too much light/heat for a 4'x4' tent? As I said earlier, I plan to begin cloning in a month as well as beginning a "perpetual" grow so that I have bud being harvested every couple weeks. I have 3 other strains on order from Nirvana and I'm just waiting for those to arrive and I will begin germinating a few seeds from each. For now it's legal to have only 6 plants flowering at any given time for myself here in Maine. I do have a relative who wants me to be their caregiver so as soon as she has her recommendation then I will get licensed as a caregiver and then I can have 12 flowering. Without getting way ahead of myself I plan to have one veg room using the 400 watt cool tube for vegging in MH and purchasing a 1000 watt HPS for flowering. I'll continue to use my T5 and CFL's for seedlings and clones. Nice comments or constructive criticism will be welcomed. 
Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes, I do have a carbon scrubber on order that is an 8" size by like 36" tall (floor model). The inline fan I will be using is a 700CFM model with a speed controller. My current temp is 70F and humidity is 67%
