Yeah and it's only the essential part.

If i decided to buy all i want my bill could easily go up to 4,000$/5,000$.

I will probably do it once i get tired of smoking the same strain over and over, having a dozen different strains to choose from would be so awesome.

if you are only growing 1 plant then why are you getting a 600w light and a 4x4 tent? planning on doing more in the future? why not do 4 medium sized plants?

why are you buying gallons of nutrients for 1 plant? you could get by on free samples. why 30kg of soil for a 5 gallon pot?

don't put neem oil in your soil. follow instuction on the bottle for foliar spray. just mist the top of the soil and the tops and bottoms of all the leaves once every 2 weeks until the 2nd week of flower. that will keep any bugs or pests away. you don't wanna be dumping it in your soil or spraying it on buds when they form.

i'm probably missing like 15 other things but that's a pretty good start right there.

1. Because apparently, you end up with much more buds with 1 big plant.
2. I'm buying gallons of nutrients because where i live the closest grow shop is at 3 hours in car and I'm getting completely raped by UPS borders fee from the US to Canada so i might as well buy big with the more you buy the more you save logic.
3. I'm buying a 4x4 tent to make sure i have enough space for all my things, smaller models looks too small.

Good advice, I'll put it on my list.

I'm kind of lost on the whole passive intake thing so if someone could help me out on this it would be really appreciated.

If i understand correctly, right now I'm sending the hot air outside my tent but the cool air from my A/C stays outside the tent.

So how could i send fresh air inside?

Put a smaller cfm rated fan @ ur intake hole @ the bottom..attach ducting to direct the cool air wherever u want/need it. I'm sure a duct booster fan will b sufficient. Hope this helps

You'll get a bigger yield off several smaller plants than you will off one large plant. Plus you can't grow tall plants in a tent so you might as well grow a few.

I'm not sure about that but still, at least i can have 4 different strains going on at once.

Thanks, I'm currently fixing my setup accordingly.

Edit : I added a 185CFM in-line booster fan with a fan speed adjuster and switched from 600w to 400w with a cool tube so i can connect the fan to the light.
