My grow room is my bed

Hello fellow smokers!
I am new to this forum and new to growing indoors. Didn't even start my project. Just sorting out how to do it.
I plan on building my own bed in my new flat and it will be closed off on all sides, but there will be a secret door somewhere. You will find a sketch of my bed below.
Not all the space will be used cause i am new to the whole indoor growing and also don't have enough money to utilize the 6m².
I am going to build a cob led light with the growmou5's Kit (5 cxb3590 at 1000ma). Don't know how many plants i will grow. (as much as possible of course :P)
What confuses me the most is the air ventilation and the carbon filter stuff. I know that it's used to keep the smell down and to provide the plants with fresh air, but how many cfms do i really need? Really the whole air in the room per minute???
I will buy my strains from Nirvana, mostly sativa is that a problem indoors? And what choices do i have with nuts?
i wanna go organic.
What else do i need?
Thanks for taking your time to read and the Help :)
Happy smoking to ya all:bigjoint:

How tall off the floor you going?
You will need room for the buckets, plants, lights, filter, and fan.

Filter, fans, and air pumps are going to be loud at night, you will have to sound proof, maybe some dynamat lining (stuff they put to stop vibrations in car trunks from speaker systems) would help.

You'll need intake vents as well as exhaust. How much space are you planning on having LxWxH?

Really fun idea. I wanna do the same thing only with a fucking shark tank!!! :mrgreen::shock:(:o_O

Fun idea.

Sativa is amazing stuff, but you'll probably want to find a nice hybrid that maintains the sativa effects and flavors, but grows like an indica. Sativas can get BIG. Training works too but still...

With a filter, you'll need a higher CFM fan than what would normally clear a room.
Your final dimensions will determine your exhaust fan needs. It doesn't at all need to clear the whole space in a minute. I'd go with 5-15 minutes, and adjust flow to maintain temps. A variable speed fan is best. Don't use a cheap inline booster fan. If there's unused space that isn't doing anything, fill it to make your space smaller, easier on the fan.

I'd recommend any complete nutrient line, with at least a Veg and Bloom stage. Hydro nutes might be easier stealthwise, in my experience. But organics are easier to grow with, as you needn't pH your water and it's generally hard to screw up. I've used Roots Organic Master Pack very successfully. I've also successfully used Jacks Classic, Fox Farm, and mixing my own organic nutes.

Nirvana has a nice Northern Lights, which is known for its light odor, compact size, and ease of growing. I can't think of a better starter plant myself, except maybe tomatoes.

Luck!

I can not wait to see this when it's complete, it will be epic. What will be used to support the bed? Its just going to be made out of 2x4 wood?

I plan on going 1.5m (5ft) from the floor i think with toping it will be high enough (?)
For space (if u mean growspace) i am thinking 4x4to 4x8 but not sure yet.
The whole space under my bed is 8.2x8.2 feet.
So lets say i have a 4×8×5 how many cfms do i need? Is there a threat where i can look that up?

It will all be made out of wood and i will post the results of course ;) but that will take a while... wood is fuckin expensive and i am unfortunately a guy with a fetish for premium stuff and not much money to affort that, being a student with no job xD

Thank you all for the helpful and great replys! I really appreciate your help!
Happy smoking to ya all!
