Hey fellow growers I am looking for some advice on a grow setup in a shed I been starting to slowly build up. First off the shed is a well insulated large shed that is locked and about 12 feet tall at tallest point with small vents. Shed holds god RH and temps and seems to be pretty free of pests. My current setup is a few bagseeds in Fox Farms ocean forest soil and some seedlings in happy frog. Seedlings little over 2 weeks old and first plant in ocean forest is about 46 days old. Right now I have them in the shed in a milliard 3x3x6.1 grow tent with a small centrifugal fan circulating and a 600 watt HPS on 75% power. Temps in the 75-80° range with around 30-40% RH. Right now I have the light on a timer to do 12\12 because I am done waiting for the 46 day old one and don't mind a small yield. Also for the seedlings I know they will be OK because they won't flower until they reach maturity anyways so they will be like very small autos (the females that is). Now the reason why I'm rushing these reggie bagseeds along is because I have some Crop king Feminized White Widows waiting to be termed. But before hand I wanted to do this as an experiment and see if I could poke holes in my setup and add and or change it to get the best environment for my white Widows. Here is what Im planning on doing for the white Widows.
I'm going to have at least 1 (preferably 2) secret jardin or gorilla 4x4x6.5 grow tent for flower as well as my 3x3x6.1 I already have for veg\clones. I'm going to get another light preferably 400-600 watt metal halide for the veg and of course the 600 watt HPS for the flower tent. 2 450CFM 6" fans (1 for veg and 1 for flower) and 6"x12" phresh carbon filters both will be on fan speed controllers. Will be using FFHF cut with 30% perlite for seedlings and FFOF cut with 25-35% perlite. Nutes will be FF trio Grow Big, Tiger Bloom, and Big Bloom. I'm not sure with flowering coming up on my first plant if any other nutes are really needed like FF other nutes or molasses?
So what do you think I will need other than the three base nutes with FF or is it best to watch and add as deficiencies show?
Can you see anything else I should add here to be safe with my Feminized seeds? I know no environment is perfect especially in a tent but I want to make it as close to possible as being my fault if anything goes wrong and not a bad light or missing nutrient or something.
What sized tent or tents would you suggest for 2-4 flowering medium to large (indoors large that is, I know outdoors they can get HUGE)? And how many plants can my 3x3 fit vegging?
And lastly for smell eliminating what sized phresh filter should I get in a 4x4x6.5 filled with very potent flowering plants? Is it possible for a single carbon filter to almost completely eliminate smells in a tent in a shed? It's just people I'm in a area where smells could travel very easy once outside the shed.
So sorry for the book and I know this is a stupid post and is probably a waste of time in some people's eyes but in my location where cannabis is disliked severely I want to be safe and give my babies a healthy environment. Anything other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also open to constructive criticism of my grow plan
