Another question for now is I was wandering what if I manicure, dry and cure inside the tent? Im asking because I want the fan and tent to let the fan and filter take the odor out and also would you use mason jars or vacuum seal after you finish entirely to store your product?

you can absolutely do all your work in that big ass tent lol it makes all the sense to do so.. good idea!

The second question is more of a personal preference, what you're planning on doing with product sort of thing. If you have a need to transport then I would say nothing beats ziplocking 8 oz at a time and vacuum sealing either one or two depending on your future plans. I personally keep things in jars because i do a smaller perpetual thing and imo everything is better out of the jar. If you take something that's been vacuum sealed vs in a jar for 6 months there is a marked difference but it isn't really worth the trouble unless its personal/connoisseur.

good luck with everything!

if you haven't already ordered I would get a 6" fan/filter and a variac controller.. You can dial the fan down and it will be more efficient and quieter than the 4"
Not necessarily. 184 cfm is always going to sound like 184 cfm whether it's going through 4" or 6". If you put the motor that runs the 4" and the motor that runs the 6" side by side unattached to the fan assembly, and run them, they are going to sound about the same. The noise is coming from the air itself.

no.. that wouldn't be nice.. how about this. Go plug in a 4" fan and then plug an 8" fan turned down to 25%... tell me what you find out.
We were talking about a 4" fan versus a 6" fan - the 4" has a fan speed of 2500RPM and the 6" has a fan speed of 2730RPM - run those motors side by side and the difference of dba's at 9' is inaudible. For the purposes of growing a few plants in a tent like the one described, the differences between a 4" doing 184 cfm and a 6" doing 184 cfm are almost inaudible also.

It will be about 6-8 weeks but that's what I will do and thank you very much again. Once I get started I have one other good friend here that knows a whole lot as I can tell you do also so if you don't mind I will be calling on you for advice from setting up my system to drying and curing though I already dry good but not sure about curing yet
87 -150$ not too bad like thought

Thanks. Im keeping personal in mason jars I saw up to gallon size down to 1 oz size but have always used vacuum sealing to transport a pound and above. Back when I worked for someone else me and him and his wife would weigh,bag and seal up to 300 elbows at a time and it would take all day and most the night on commercial bails. That 18 x 12 shed would be knee deep in pounds after the 3 bails that were around 2 foot thick and a square yard the other way were all busted down.

Yes. 30 (consumed) LED watts per sq ft for great cannabis. I recommend Timber lights because they're like dewalt tools..."buy it once and buy it right". They have an online chat tab and will calculate the watts per sq ft for you. I highly recommend chatting with them before making a purchase.
I was checking timber lights out as you recommended. Im positive there great since I know you know what your doing but they are very expensive even a 100 watt light.

I was just wondering if I should remove the fan leaves...they the in the way of some of the tops...View attachment 4133171
Im not positive for sure.I took some off for that reason for my blueberry auto that's budding pretty good but always heard either way can be a help. If you do your tops buds might get more out of growth. But,the rest might burn or more likely for disease etc.. Because those fan leaves absorb the problems so im not positive as I said
