Beginner Indoor Grow

[GreenMonsta]

I plan on growing indoor in a 12 by 16 room with the following specs:

-4x4x6 secret jardin dark street tent
-600w apollo light with air cooled hood w/ timer on a 18/6 cycle during flower, 12/12 during
-6 fabric smart pots 1 per plant (Undecided seed want something 2-2.5 month cycle)
-roots organic soil
-4 inch intake fan (undecided)
-4 inch carbon filter (NEED HELP HERE FOR SCENT)
-1 small table fan on ground
-surge protector
-thermometer
-ph test kit/ajuster
-nutrients(not sure what or if any yet maybe one or two basic ones to use)

Foreseeable problems:
-smell is something I greatly want to reduce which is why I need help on a good carbon filter
-Lack of CO2 as the room has no window, if possible somehow its ideal room, if not:
+could move towards window in another room, but lack of stealth is increased
+could buy/build a shed outdoor using same specs, but lack of controllable temp is increased here as I live in the northeast temperature changes often.

Hey Green, sounds like you got a solid plan. I have a garage box going and the temps can swing a bit. They seem to be doing well just the same. Inside would definitely give you more constant temp control. For your oder control I would look into making your own. A quick google for DIY carbon filter should give you many ideas. A 4" carbon filter just sounds way too small. I would also get a thermometer / humidity meter combo. If you get on it you should have some prime bud for Thanksgiving

I am also a first time grower using a 4 x 4 x 8 Secret Jardin since I am in ca and I keep my lights on during off peak hours I sometimes get temps of like 90°F in the middle of the night . I'm also using 1000 W in the tent which maybe The reason but I have good airflow otherwise. Mostly concerned with the temperature.

Hi GreenMonsta, that sounds like a good plan. Why don't you move to the room with the window, use some air duct to bring air inside, or use a grow tent with the intake being fed from a duct coming from the window?

Either way, best of luckand welcome to

and check out LED lights not really that much more costly over an HID lamp and the cheapest sponsored one is about the same price hint check out the mars 2
