Hey there! This will be my first grow and I am needing some guidance! My white widow feminized seeds will be here by 10/15. I made a grow tent ⛺ in my closet and it is 5x7ft. There is a 2x3ft opening in the ceiling where I am building a ventilation system, and plan to add a carbon filter in a couple weeks. I have one 16 inch oscillating fan that sits on the floor. Is one enough for this space? I have a humidifier and planned to use it the first couple weeks during the seedling stage and then switch to dehumidifier for the rest of the grow. I have read white widow likes the heat will I need a heater? It is naturally without running equipment about 72 degrees Fahrenheit and 50-60% humidity. I have a 3000w LED light , I’ll post a picture below. Please tell me if this is enough to support five plants? I want to grow the right amount of plants that will thrive. I am wanting to do 5 plants, but I am not sure if that light is enough. I am using fox farm ocean forest soil and adding (25%??) perlite. I have a digital Ph tester and Ph adjuster kit. How often do you test the soil run off? My plan was to germinate, then plant in 2.9 quart plastic pots with holes in the bottom.. then at 3-5 weeks transplant to 5 gallon smart pots. Originally I was going to directly plant the seedling in the 5-gal smart pot, but I’m undecided.. just trying to find the best option. Also I had read that for watering the first couple weeks you’re supposed to use a spray bottle and spray a few times a day. I really need a good reference for a detailed watering schedule From planting to harvest. Please let me know what I haven’t thought of! I am open to ANY and all ideas and advice. Thanks everyone!

My nutrients. Forgot to mention! I ordered this with the seeds. It is supposed to be enough and all I need from seed to harvest. From I <3 growing marijuana.com. The reviews seemed promising, and I was hoping it would be more idiot proof because the nutrients schedules get very complicated. ‍♀

Well This is what comes with a grow tent. See if you are missing any items.
I'm not saying buy this stuff.. just giving a general visual of the basic needs.

for a 5x7 you's gonna want an 8inch exhaust fan. May want to look into more fans. Maybe small box fans to run air under canopy, and clip on oscillating fans to help push air around up top.

Thank you! This was very helpful as I have not gotten the exhaust fan yet, and it is because I have been undecided on the size.
