New Grower First Time grower

[Boomer2269]

Hey there all

Recently ive come to the conclusion that i spend far too much money on buying weed. After looking threw a few grow journals on this lovely form ive decided to start a new hobby. As i live in a townhouse im going to be growing in a tent setup down stairs in my storage unit. I was thinking of going with a 4x4x7 tent(leaning towards this Mars one https://www.mars-hydro.com/4x4x7Grow-Tent-1680D-P2397.aspx unless anyone knows of a better brand). I was hoping i could get away with one light for maybe 4 autoflower plants. Can i use the same LED light from seed to harvest? Would this mars reflector 192 work for my setup Amazon product

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, would need to be able to get shipped to canada

I have two tents in my townhouse basement laundry room, 2'X3'X5' and a 2'X4'X7'. My smaller tent has an old style Mars 100X3 and the larger has two Blackstar 240uv's, and both tents have four 4' T5's for corner lighting and heat in winter. I just finished a grow in both. Can you exhaust room air outside? I have a bathroom exhaust fan hooked into my dryer vent to help remove hot room air in summer, I also turn off the T5's in the tents for summer. To control odor I use carbon filters with reversieable flanges on six in. duct booster fans with 6 in. clip in fans for circulation within the tents (1 in small tent 2 in other). Everything you buy today you will replace within a year or two, long before they ware out so don't spent too much time on it. Spend money on good nutes, ph control and quality seed. This is the most fun I have ever had with a hobby and not buying street shit is great. I use Pro-mix BX for a grow medium and air-pots to grow in but you should look at autopots, imo. Both grows I mentioned are in this forum.
