Going with a new way to grow the seedlings. Should be good.

Are you venting it outside or anything? I had some in-laws in CO that showed me their grow closet, and it definitely put off a lot of odor.

that flex vent you see connects to a filter on the other side of the tent which you can't see.

You usually need some serious--and very expensive--filters to deal with just some of the odor, right?

When can I expect my first shipment?

the tent is only 2x4x7. It can handle 4 plants nicely I hope...normally go with a 4x4x7 but my bedroom is smaller now since I gave my old room to my new roommate/sister.

I would not just vent outside, that's going to create negative pressure to the house and waste lot of energy, I would implement a HRV.

Oddly enough growing weed here is now less involved than flying a drone. Time to sell my drone and start smoking weed. :p

Why though?

Can't you just go to the weed store?
Growing it yourself is usually cheaper over the long run and the quality can be better but neither of those generalizations is always true. It has been my experience that when it comes to anything plant related peoples expectations are always to high. Most people do not have the patience to really learn what it takes to grow anything properly. They always under estimate the amount of equipment, time, cultural practices, and general understanding that it takes to really grow a crop to its fullest potential.

I totallly agree. It's more of a hobby to me. I'm not a huge pot smoker.

Good luck with your new hobby. Just remember to keep your expectations in check. Don't expect the buds to be dense and seedless with lots of crystals and hairs from your first harvest.
What type of lighting are you using MH or LED? What soil medium and ferts are you going to use?

LED is cheaper to purchase and cheaper to run. Not to mention a lot cooler the MH.
