LED Grow Room Set-Up Questions

[HydroMoe]

I Have Just Purchased My First Official Set Up, even though it's still a work in progress. I'm going to try and push for a half a pound a harvest, while building my grow to eventually be a two tent, 3 led light perpetual grow.

(01) 1 Meter By 1 Meter By 2 Meter Tall ($50)
(01) 300 Watt mars Hydro LED (Actual Watt 145) ($70) (I Plan On Buying Another One Within The Next Month)
(01) 6" Computer Desk Fan For Air Circulation ($15)
(10) 3 Gallon Pots To Finish The Plants In ($10)
(01) 10 Root Riot Seed Plugs To Start The Seeds In ($10)
(01) Surge Protector ($10)
(01) 12qt Fox Farm Soil (is this enough?) ($20)
(01) Thermometer ($5)

As For Seeds I Just Ordered ($90 Total)

3 Cash Crop Auto- 22% THC
3 West Coast OG AUTO- 21% THC

& Will Be Getting 4 Seeds for free, not sure if they are autos or not,
1 Pineapple Chunk- 25% THC
Critical Kush 25% THC
Liberty Haze- 25% THC
Blue Cheese- 23% THC

I Plan On Growing 4 Auto Flowers,(2 west coast og & 2 cash crop), Maybe 5-6 if I'm told I can pull it off and still get a decent yield) under a 300 Watt LED (Actual Watt 145) hanging 18" above my plants while they are seedling and then lowering it anywhere from 12"-18" If Needed during Veg and Flowering Stages. I do plan on adding a second Mars Hydro LED 300W Light once my plants can handle the extra light.

Now, Let me ask my questions. Will I need to buy an exhaust system, if so, can some one link me to a thread, or tell me how to set it up, by filtering the air back into the tent. Yield wise, is my goal for a half a pound unrealistic from 4-6 plants under 290 watts of led? Should I Scrog? Someone Please Mentor Me.

There are some more factors to consider here. Where is this, in your home or out side? Is smell an issue where you are? Do you think heat will be a factor (Depends where it is, LEDs are decent on heat).

Also depending where it is and how far you need to push out ect. A cheap route, http://www.amazon.com/iPower-GLFANXINL6FILT6MD25C-Exhausting-Pre-Filter-Reversible/dp/B00DIIPTHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459785176&sr=8-1&keywords=6+inch+inline+fan+carbon+filter+combo

I do not know your full set up as there are no pictures. There are a few ways you can do this.

1. You do not have much room in there, you can have filter in there, pipe out the hose then have the fan suck the air out, and attach the hose to the other end to pull it where you need to. This allows for more room in the tent since you are dealing with size limits.

Make sure to 10000000000% check the fan to make sure the air is blowing and sucking in the right direction. Other wise if you blow into the filter, you will make a nice mess and your filter will not be as effective.

2. Scrog, yes. Do that, LST it you will get more from it. As for how much you will get.. If weight is a concern then you shouldn't go with autoflower (Dont hate me autoflowers!) I started off growing auto flowers they are fun and good to learn with, but you have no control over their veg time to let them get to where you want them. I think scroging an auto flower would be pretty hard (I think it slows down their process as they are on a time clock).

It's very hard to say how much you will get, you should really be googling for grow logs that are near your set up to find the answer to that question, I do not know the power on that LED.

Hope that helps.

Don't be so hard on the Mars stuff. It's really not bad for the price. There are much better things you can have. I'm using a mars hydro reflector 96 and it's doing a fantastic job so far.

I hate not, I see a lot use it I just never really looked or used them. So hard for me to judge for what he's wanting.

At least with mars you get what you pay for...rebrands like kind are worse...you get mars for 5x the price...I dont feel so bad when people buy mars.Its the people paying 2k for these chinese lights that bother me.

Heres mine with the 600 Mars Hydro. I have a second one coming for flower. Good luck with your grow.
