hi all i recently got a mmc and am attempting my first grow. i was wondering if my setup is sufficient for five auto flower plants. heres what i have a four by four room its 8 ft tall. i have a 400 watt hps light w/ a box reflector. my footprint will be around 3.3x3.3 ft. mylar on the walls. i have a 3 speed oscilating fan drawing air in ( nice cool air) near the floor just under my grow deck. next i have a exhaust fan in the cieling that moves around 55 cfpm. what do you think? any input is greatly apreciated.

Have you had the lights on to see if heat is an issue? what about bringing fresh air in for you plants? any windows around? But yes you should be able to fit those plants no problem.

Sounds like a good set up... During late flower keep an eye on the humidity and add a dehumidifier if need be...

Very nice. I've got the same size room and light without the active intake, 70 cfm vent fan, a/c. Be careful of light leaks on your intake during flower.

light leaking through cracks, either revealing the operation to the outside or interrupting the darkness inside during flower. well if you're using autoflowering strain on 24/24 you don't care about light leaking in, but regular plants get stressed out if you interrupt the darkness during flowering.

with auto's If found it's better to run them around 18/6, 20/4 depending on the strains. They really seem to love that time to rest.
