I NEED HELP SETTING UP MY FIRST GROW. I have done a lot of research.

Hi, I will be setting up my first grow very soon. Money is not a problem so give me any equipment that sounds good and works well. Basically what I need help with is lighting and a little ventilation help, also anything else you can think of that will help except seed choice.

I will be growing in 10'x10' spare room with two windows, but I will have a 9'x9' or 10'x10' grow tent in the room that will house my plants and grow.

First I should say that what I am trying to grow and accomplish for my first run is about 25-30 autoflower plants and 4 or 5 non auto plants (all from seed). So that I would be having all my autoflower plants already drying while I still have the non autos in the room in flowering mode then.

I will be using 5 gallon air pots for my autoflower seeds so maximize yield.

I dont feel like getting to much into my soil (organic of course) or nutes.

Distilled water

With Ac, dehumidifier, humidifier also in tent

This is where I need help with my exhaust.

I know the carbon filter combo that I will need to have to take care of the whole room and I will be exhausting it outside using the window. Also bringing is fresh air with an inline fan from the another window. WILL THIS WORK?

This is where I need help with my lighting situation.

At first I was thinking to get 8, 240W UV(w/ 3w bulbs) Led lights OR 4, 500W UV(w/ 3W bulbs) Led lights. But then I realized that this is not optimum and I could do way better but I need help because I dont know much about lights. What I am mainly trying to accomplish is to not have to have 2 separate grow rooms, not have to change the type of light for veg and flower, and MOST IMPORTANTLY be able to go from seed all the way to flower with the one type of lights I am growing because the majority of my crop will be autoflowers from seed that flower on any light schedule and it doesnt really matter much about light just that they get enough. So I was thinking to have a half of the lights be metal halide because I heard they are good for veg and the other half be hps. How many 1000W lights should I get of each for that grow tent and when the plants are at seed and at seedling how much of the lights should be running. SO CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS

SO PLZZZZZZ GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS AND HELP ON MY VENTILATION AND LIGHTING.......... Had to smoke 5 bowls in my largest bowl to type this

Bump ME please bump

1. Yes, It will work, just keep in mind, the more humid the air is the faster your filter will lose its effectiveness. Only use it during flowering if you can get away with it. My grow room has only a faint smell during the veg phase, so I do not run my filter during this time. As soon as you flower and begin to smell it, time for the filter to go to work.
If you live in an environment where it gets colder than a well diggers ass, you might need to pull your intake air from the house instead of outside ( cuts down on temperature swings and introducing critters and what nots into the grow area.

2. I have 0 experience with LEDs. I use a 250 watt MH and T5 flos for vegging and a 600 watt HPS for flowering. If you want to use just 1 type of light, I hear pretty good things about the newer Ceramic Metal Halide lamps (CMH) as they cover a larger spectrum of the light needed to do both vegging and flowering. You can get away with at least 3 1k lights in that area, maybe more if your cooling and ventalation is dialed in. You definently have lots of room for experimenting.

Hope this helps

Peace and Great Grows
