Need some advice for an indoor tent setup

I just ordered a 6.5'x6.5'x6.5' grow tent and have a 125w CFL and 1000W HPS. Don't have any fans or a hood for my light yet but my buddy has ton of extra equipment and is gonna bring it by once i need it. I want to do a soil grow and keep it organic, what size pots and how many plants could i fit in here? Probably start with my 125w for the seedlings and until i get air flow/ temps dialed for the 1000w. I don't care about plant numbers as i don't think i could fit enough to go past my personal allowance, and obviously I want to maximize yield. Ill be going from seed most likely. I got some OGR WIFI seeds I've been wanting to pop and a bunch of homemade seeds to work with. What size pots should i use? I also wouldn't mind vegging a few extra and remove them once i start flowering, as i can throw them outside to flower with the rest of my girls. My buddy said he has a 12" fan, and a cpl 6" and 8" fans i could buy off him for cheap, which one/how many do i need? Thanks for taking the time to read, never done a tent grow and could use some advice. I also got an outdoor grow goin thats halfway through flower over here https://www.rollitup.org/outdoor-growing/815027-so-cal-outdoor-winter-season.html check it out

ill check out your other thread.. can you be more specific what you need help/advice with?

plant #'s depends how big you want them. and how often your gonna water.

if it were my setup id get a 8" hood for the bulb and a 8" fan to go with it foe exaust and a 6" fan for intake (depending on ambient temps the tent is going to be in)

the 8" will stay cooler thatn the 6" hood. 12" exaust is too large for that tent. you could use it with a fan dimmer switch (rheostat) and use it later if you upgrade to a larger space.

sounds like you got a pretty good handle on it.

the tent is roughly 350cu. ft. in volume. so to exchange the air in there you need a min 200 cfm is an air exchange roughly ever 2 min. the 6" centrifugal fans are +400- cfm. so that should be plenty to exchange every minute or less.

Im sure ill need more advice after i actually get my tent tomorrow. Thanks for the input on the hood and fans SFguy ill probably do just that.

I ended up getting a XXXL hood with 8" outtakes for my 1000w and 8" hurricane fan. Got one beefy BBK clone, 7 WIFI seedlings, 10-15 Reverand OG seedlings, and 20-30 Sour OG seedlings. Planning on keeping the BBK, WIFIs and maybe a few Reverand OGs in the tent. The Sour OGs and extra Reverand OGs will go outside eventually to finish with my outdoor crop in October. Im trying to get a CO2 setup in the tent, have no experience with using CO2 other than small yeast reactors. Prolly going to have to google that a bit.

I put half the WIFIs in NorthCounty Bounty 420 Blend and the other half in Northcounty Bounty Agro-blend. The BBK, Reverands and Sour OGs are in my own soil mix (Coco&Sphagnum/Perlite/Compost/EWC). They are all in fabric pots, half are homemade the other half were bought a while ago.

Im trying to add some CO2 to my setup but i have never used it before. I have a 20lb tank but i need a regulator still, hopefully i can find one on amazon. Once i have the tank and regulator, how do i measure how CO2 to much to release? My tent is 6.5'x6.5x6'.5 or ~275 cubic feet, so i'd want to add 1/3 of a cubic foot from what i've read online. How do i measure a 1/3 of a cubic foot of gas? And how often do i need to add that 1/3 cubic foot of CO2 to my tent? Thanks in advance
