Im about to start my first grow, im buying 5 wonderwoman feminzed seeds from nirvana. Im getting a growtent that is 4 ft wide, 2 ft deep, and 5 ft tall. Im getting 400 HPS/MH lighting kit from htg. I have a few questions before i buy anything, getting answers for these questions are HUGE HELP.

1. Do i have enough space to grow 3 of these plants veg +flowering in my tent?

2. Are the lights i plan to get good?

3. So im a US grower and very worried if neghbors might smell somehow..im buying a 4inch carbon fan http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120516796991&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT is this fan good enough to get rid of the smell??

4. If i egt the fan mentioned above^^^ima install it in the top of my tent, would this count as an exhaust to let air out or do i need a seperate fan. Im also buying a 6inch fan http://cgi.ebay.com/6-inch-INLINE-DUCT-FAN-exhaust-BOOSTER-blower-cool-air_W0QQitemZ390127340450QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5ad566cba2
im going to install at bottom of tent..is that good for vent? or do i need more fans.

And about how much will 1 plant yeild if i grow in these conditions? And add nutes wisely
YOUR HELP IS GREATLY NEEDED AND APRECIATED

Yeh,so you want a better inline fan,4inch is good,your gonna need cool,fresh air coming in and out,as those tents get hot fast.You can grow a low odor strain,with what I've grown in the past(lowodorstrains) northernlights,chocolatechunk,chronic,kinsgkush.I go witht the kingskush,it has a light tangerine smell.Wonderwomen is a skunk,so yeh it might stank.You can also use ONA products for that small space,save you some cash.Yeh should be able to hold 3,as long as there 3 ft. tops.

I agree with JoeCali. I got a wonderwoman going and shes gonna reek like some skunk real good. I got the Northern lights specifically for the neutral odor.

1 Thing That stuck out.

Are you getting the 400w HPS cool tube from HTG, thats what I would suggest.

If so its a 6" tube. So then just get the 6" scrubber fan combo too. You can get reducers from 6"to4" though, thats what I did. Just dont want you making that same mistake.

Stop by the Journal say HIGH. +Rep Keep em growin.

Yea easy enouth space to grow 3 might even get 4 in just flower smaller.If i was growing in the same size tent has you have i would veg the plants till i could get about 20/30 clones of them then keep the best one for a mother under some floresents and flower the clones at about 6 ince flowering them with 2 week intervals this way you will have a fresh crop every 2 week.Go for single stalk buds grown in the biggest pots that you can fit 20 plants in the tent And you can still get a nice ammount from a crop and growroom that is small.AT worste you might get a quarter a plant but 20 quarts add up to a nice ammount to last till the neext crop is ready.A 400 mh are good lights but i would rather have a hps i have tried both and hps seem to just be better for both stages of growth.You will need a good exaust fan in a tent of that size with a light of that watt too.The carbon filter is about right for the tent size and will take away most of the smell just get plenty of air freshners around the house one near the door so if anyone comes it will take there attention away from any cannabis smells but get the filter and the exaust fan working and it will take away 90% of the smell.Try to not keep opening the tent door has this is when the smell will escape.In the uk we have a air freshner called glde that you plug in and it squits a fresh piney smell every 5/10/15/20mins.If you do gor just the 3 or 4 remember that the plants will double in size during flowering.Keep the lights has close to the tops of the plants has you can without burning them and all should be well.Good luck in your new venture tell no one and you will be fine keep notes on any grows that you do but never date them so if something works well or something does not you can always look back on them..................tyke.......................

I have almost the same set up as you, I also got the 4" inline fan with the 4" carbon filter from htgsupply.com. I got there small version tent which is 20x36x64, and I DO NOT use an intake fan. I have notice, with there tent they have have open vents on the buttom, and with the inline fan running it creates a vacum inside and pulls in air through these vents. You can really tell when the fan is turn off it all lose as a goose, but when I turn it on, the button of the tent starts to suck in a little and my temps have been staying around 76 degrees on the high side, with about 30-40% humdity.

I am running a 150 watt HPS with 2 16 oz cup plants and one 44oz 7-11 cup i just put in there.
