Baby Pandas or was it Grow Tent Advice?

What's happening rollitup? Hows the kids? Wife still a bizatch? Getting side tracked back to original reason here. So my names Billy and I'm a recent college grad who is in some desperate need for bud. (Wags hand in air at recession) So I've researched a whole bunch on growing techniques and the right tools for it so i wouldn't come off like a super newb asking questions like why do plants need sunlight or if I smoke a cig near my plant will it get lung cancer? I REALLY need to yield at least 3 ounces and anything more would be awesome.

Equipment:
78x36x36 grow tent
250w HPS
Chain for light
1inch rockwool cubes
Oscillating fan
Humidity/Temp reader
6 inch air duct fan
Charcoal filter
Light timer
Shultz take root Rooting hormone (for cloning)

Seeds:
10 Fem White Widow

Nutrients:
Fox Farm Grow Big
Fox Farm Big Bloom
Tiger Bloom

All of the supplies should be here in the next week and I still have to get some soil which I plan to get Fox Farm Ocean Forest and some pots with holes on the bottom to put them in. I also plan to show you my progress as I continue through this journey and eventually show off my yield. Now I have just a few questions and I'd really appreciate some help.

Questions:
1) Do I need two fans hooked into my grow tent to have air coming in and out or just one? Also I can't have any tubes coming out of the grow tent cause it will be hard enough disguise it.
2) In order to get three ounces would it be better for me to have 4 plants or 6 plants or more?
3) Can a carbon filter hook into any air duct fan?
4) At what point should I take a clone from my plant to continue the ongoing cycle of growing and cloning?

Also for the nutrients I'm hoping it comes with a schedule when and exactly how much to feed the plants and I am aware of the NPK that it suppose to get during each phase but it would be nice to get some specifics on when exactly to feed so I can make a schedule. I've never used soil based nutrients, fertilizer or quite frankly have ever even planted a plant b4 so I was wondering what exactly soil nutrients are. Do I put it in a barrel and feed it when I do the watering or do I just sprinkle it on top of the soil after watering? Really not sure at all what to do here.

Closing note:
I have sank about $450 bux into this and will be sinking about 50 bux more on soil, pots and a pH tester so I really REALLY need to get a decent yield just to get some money back and I can't mess this up so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx again and i'll leave you with a joke. What's the hardest part about your girlfriend having an abortion?.......trying to act upset. :lol:

Asking people to help setup your little weed empire is kinda frowned upon here. If you want to know hope to grow Marijuana then ask questions but stating its so you can make dough just implicates people in your project. Its not as if your gonna cut anyone in for telling you how to do it either.

peace
 
Duly noted Monkeyfloss but I assure you this is not a scarface operation and like everyone on this site it is for personal use....along with some friends

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Just one inline fan pushing air out, have a separate duct line leading to fresh air, when the inline fan pushing old air out it will bring new in. [/FONT]​


 
So what your saying grotesque is to just have one of the other flaps of the grow tent open and have the fan on the other side?
 
i built one with pvc too but i ended up going with a dr 80 darkroom. i ended up wasting about $65 on it before just spending the $179 on my darkroom. i love how they keep all the light inside the tent!

i hope yours works out good for you though and i can't wait to see pics of your future grows!

now for the other questions
if you are looking for a 3 total ounce project then be done you can actually get that off of less plants than 4 but youd need basically a different setup and to read a lot more
however if youre looking to get 3 ounces regularly id want more than 6 so that you can have multiples in each stage of growth..about four in two different veg stages and about six in three different flower stages that way i can be harvesting just as my bud is getting done curing.
take clones whenever it looks like your plant could live without them.
as for nutrients the ones you got are liquid so just mix them into your water one at a time(that doesnt mean only one per gallon it just means dont dump all into a cup together then into your water just measure one dump it in the gallon,mix,then measure another and dump into the same gallon as before and so on)
a carbon filter can hook into any air duct fan just make sure the fan is powerful enough to pull the air through it quickly and regularly without burning the fan up
and only use nutrients about every other watering and just water when the pot is light or the soil is dry

hopefully this helps
