Needing some advice before I buy

Hello everyone, I'm getting ready for my 3rd go around and I want it to be a perfect setup haha. I have a town home and an apartment so I'm expanding my grow area just a little. The things I have so far:
4ft x 2ft x 5ft grow tent
300w Led light(ebay)
135w ufo Led light(haven't used yet)
4 water pumps(600L/H)
1 air pump(571 gph)
3 18gallon dwc tubs(1 for res.)
Grow dresser with 3 Cfl lights(may use for cloning?)

The things I'm planning to buy my next check are but need advice before I buy because I'm hard headed:
Co2 tank and regulator
2 more grow tents(veg & flower)
8 plant pots
2 500w or 700w or 900w led lights
4 security cameras

I wanted to get some advice from some vets on what I should get or if I left out anything. This is my town home so I'm using a bedroom as a green room. I'm renting my other room to a family member. I have an apartment and my GF stays with me(we are trying things out). The reason I have the apartment now. My goal is to have a variety of plants and have maybe 5 or more ounces a month. I don't want to spend more than $800 if I have to. Thanks in advance.

You could technically have your clone/veg in the same tent, and then setup a larger flower area - or two flower areas if that works better.

Maybe do a clone/veg tent, flowering tent, and then a mother tent?

Thats a great idea, I'll have to think that over. What would you suggest as far as Wattage in the tents. I've notice the true wattage of LEDs are at 50% -60%..

Depending on what LED you buy, each panel will have different recommended coverage areas for the specific product. If LED interests you, find the company you wish to use and then find the product that will best suit your size. If you are going the HPS route, I would suggest a 400-600w at least for your flower room, as well as supplement it with some CFL's for the lower canopy. You can get away with much less wattage for your clone/veg chamber(s).

1 do not buy off ebay unless it is a store (they could be selling u a used light with 30,000 hours )

2 LED makers ....the light they admit is a formula and the makers pattens those..........so no one else can copy it ............the 2 best led makers out there is Black Dog/ Black Star

Why do you need 4 security cameras? If wireless they need to be secured.

CO2 setup is going to put you over your $800 limit possibly.

A couple expensive items you might not need.

here u go took me little time to find it .............just get one set it up so it sees the area..........u need to protect the power plug and the wire(might look at the money u save and get a simple battery backup for it .......u would need router/modem/camera on battery back up and protected).............the only way they could bypass the system would be to cut the cable line feeding the internet but most ppl never think of it

my older brother got me one of these for X-mas (made it up to him got him a BHO and keef for his b-day)
it works great the app is free from google play it works on my tablet and on my phone .......when i am hooked into a wifi i can hear and talk tho the camera ...when i am on 3g i can see .........motion and sound senative .......u can have it load video clips to your u tube account (they are marked private only u see them ) or have it caputer pics ..........best part it is wired or wifi into your home network (once u are wired in u can set your Mac addresses to limit any connections basically u log in all the stuff u want to allow on the network the router copies those number and then anything that is not one of those numbers is not allowed on .....mac addy is designed as a ID system for the network everyone is different .........the only way they can access the network is to capture your mac addy and then clone it and that can be controlled by knowing where u log on at )

he is right about the Co2 the tank the monitor the reg..........or the propain/burner/monitor/fire protection/cooling
Do u like beer .............if so join your local beer brewers (side product of brewing is Co2)...u could also do moonshine like me (same thing bunch of Co2)
basicaly it is water sugar and yeast .......that is super simple (do not do that) the yeast eats the sugar pisses ach and burps Co2

I would suggest reading up in the LED section on this forum before you make a purchase. Lots of good info there.....You have to be careful what you invest in when it comes to LED.

So you wanna do all this. The first thing you need to figure out is electrical to supply all this. Usually 1 room is setup on 1- 110volt 15 amp service you will need way more. You need someone to wire in another 220 volt service box into that room for electricity
