Im ordering a 4x4x7 grow tent, i need to know what else to order to maximize my yield .odor, and temps.
Will be running 2-4 organic soil plants.
Will be doing a veg then flip to flower in se tent.
In flower i am going to yake clones to start next cycle, at which point im gonna upgrade.
My main concern is i need to know what size fan\filter i need, im leaning towords 2 600 watt mh/hps, cool tube reflectors, a 6 in fan carbon filter kit. All from htgsupply
Any and all tips or pointers are appreciated and +rep
Thanks in advance.
Also wouldnt mind input on strainsethods and nutes
Was gonna scrog the 2 to fill the tent
Figured ill veg for about 4 weeks
O im going to starty beans oit under 12\12 to sex that way o know ive got two viable females stead of waiting to get my heart nroken

I would do about 4 plants in there, and I rate one 600w setup would be enough. 6" inline fan with filter is good. Just get a MH and a HPS bulb, don't go cheap on the bulbs. Get decent nutrients and decent soil.

Uncle Ben's "super soil" :)

1/2 organics, 1/2 inert (sand, vermiculite) - blood meal, bone meal, dolomite, muriate of potash, peat, compost, pine bark, alfalfa nuggets (horse cubes) dissolved into a slurry and then tossed into mix.

Uncle Ben says to stick to something close to 2-1-3 ratio (i.e. 6-3-9 or 12-6-18 ) for veg and a 1-2-3 ratio (for example 3-6-9 or even 6-12-18 ) for flowering when adding nutes to soil. I would only use bloom boosters once or twice after the two week transition and that's it. I think it's pointless to use bloom booster at every feeding after the flower sites are established. Too much P will lock out N so it's advisable to just stay with real low numbers if you're not really sure.
