Overdoing things?

I am a newbie grower and live in an apt and am wanting to keep as clean an area as possible because i dont want to make it 3 months and then have to throw out my work. My plan is to get a 10ft by 10ft by 80in tent but i am wanting to put a 4ft x 2ft x 72in tent inside to act as a double shield. I will also be venting in the same room (constant breeze with windows open (nor cal))

Room: bedroom 15x13 open door and window

Outside Tent: I will leave 2 opening on the bottom outside tent open but i will put 6 in carbon filters inside the holes and close the rest. I will have a 6 in ac infinity fan with 2 oscilating fans in opposite sides to push the air around.

Inside tent: 1x sf2000 (sp3000 next or now?) with an 4 in ac infinity fan hooked up to a 4 in carbon filter to pull air out both tents into open room with 2x oscilating fans and 2x 3gal octopot.

Im not real worried about the price ($1500 budget), I am really trying to make this with as little chance of something going wrong as possible. I dont know if im overdoing this or if i should just buy new window screens and double up on cleaning.

It's not going to work unfortunately.

Tent material is pourus. Plus the zippers let out air.

You will not achieve a sealed room even if you did a Russian nesting doll situation of tents.

I think it would work as long as you keep negative air pressure so the air is being pulled in and exhausted out. Not sealed but nothing would be going out except where you wanted it through exhaust. Which means you wouldn't need multiple tents.

Mold will come from lack of air flow/air exchange

Bugs will come from you. Even if you had to open a bank vault to get to your plants, when bugs get in its because of the grower not being careful not to bring them into the space.

jenko the goal is to maintain a sealed enviorment without building anything.

zacuriah: I am planning on running 2 phenos with fox farm coco loco with heavy 16 nutes.

Sealed for CO2 or what? You could put 10 tents and it wouldn't work. If you are worried about smells, thats what a carbon filter is for. If you are worried about bugs, change your clothes before tending to your plants.

Caregiver hygiene is most common cause of mold and pests. Both are hitch hikers. And mold and several pests have pilots licenses. We are the containment or carrier. Including "I got these clones routine".

Keep it simple and clean folks. A bit of logic will go far.

Peace all.

Lol. I have runflats.

Taking care means do not go straight from your garden into your grow room.

Change your clothes before entering.

Wash your hands and forearms to ensure you don't have spores on you and so on.

Basically think about where you have been recently and ask yourself... can you possibly contaminate the grow area?

If the answer is yes, wash up and change clothes.
