> i basically just need a light and thats it? if i want to grow autoflower only
oh boi... alright here we go.
youll need duct fans for both ventilation and heat dissipation, especially if you go with HPS/MH lights 600/1000watts will require reflectors with ducting so you can connect to it. This will need to exhaust out of your tent. Then you will need a intake fan coming preferably from outside. Youll most likely also need a Carbon filter attached in series to your exhaust fan. Your light will have a ballast as well, which creates a good amount of heat so plan for that to be located outside your tent. Youll also need smaller fans in the corners so you can keep a good air circulation going (hurricane fans are great). Also consider using T5 lights when starting your seeds off as your higher wattage lights are not good for seedlings. Also get a few supplies like gorilla tape and duct clamps and anything else you might need to secure everything together.
When it comes to growing, even if you are only doing autos youll need smart pots, fertilizer, promix HP, perlite plus both vegging and flowering nutrients. Have access to PH up and down solution, and also get a Ph Pen + PPM meter (TDS).
Ive only linked amazon, there are probably other local options for you.
Yes! Many of us have stealth grows. I use a 6" carbon filter hooked up to an inline fan that I pipe through my radon mitigation system from the basement and up through the roof of the house. I maintain negative air pressure in my grow room so no air goes anywhere but through that filter.
I'm guessing you have that shed wired for electricity or you wouldn't be growing there. If you have a stovepipe exhaust on that shed, use that. If not, either install one or use something like a dryer vent out one of the side walls. make sure it is sealed against light leaks

Double edit: Get the 4" version unless you're running 6" PVC pipe. Finding a 6"->3" coupling was a pain in the dick.
This is my first time growing, so please feel free to critique/rip into my setup, as I really appreciate all the help and knowledge! I actually ordered my seeds from JAHseeds a year ago, but never got my shit together enough to actually do anything with them.
 
I do want to take a quick moment to thank u/AFK_ing for the seeds first, as they were actually gifted to me for free. I placed an order on a whim one night, and then completely forgot about it. Turns out that JAHseeds never ended up depositing the interac transfer I sent them, so it inevitably expired. I had forgotten about the order completely, when out of the blue one day I received a letter in the mail complete with 12 free seeds and a handwritten 'apology' letter. This absolutely floored me, and left me feeling super warm and fuzzy inside. I've been cherishing the seeds up until now, so I'm really really happy that I can finally bring them to life :) Anyways....thank you JAHseeds!
 
Onto the setup! Currently running:
 
2x alibaba 240w QB
 
Promix HP + 2inch layer of worm castings on the bottom
 
Strain is The Best My seeds are not feminized however, so still unsure of sex.
 
Right now they are in 1 gallon pots and I'm planning on moving them into 7 gallon fabric pots when the time is right.
 
I kinda went ham one night and bought the entire GH nutrient lineup (including all the additives....) so I'm planning on sticking to their schedule (halved) throughout the grow. I know I could have done without a lot (most) of them, but yeah it was still cheaper than buying an Oz from the LP....Currently only feeding them water.
 
The tent is a GA 48x48x80, with a Vivosun 6 inch duct fan and carbon filter
 
Holmes Lil' Blizzard fan (this thing moves a lot of air)
 
I originally had a smaller tent so I started out germinating 3 seeds by dropping them in a glass of water for 36 hours. After they all popped, I planted them directly into coco pots. At that time I decided to change to a larger tent, so I dropped 2 more seeds into a glass of water to germinate. 36 hours later one of the seeds had popped, but not the other. I planted the one that popped, and left the other in the water for another 12 hours. At this time it still hadn't popped, so I just dropped it into a pot with the others. The one that never popped didnt end up coming through the soil until about 2 days ago (I was actually just about to give up on it). It's the tiny coco pot in the middle. Pretty sure it's gonna be a retard plant but whatever, I'll give it some love and care. Don't tell Justin. The nice healthy plant on the bottom right is the other seed that I germinated with it at the same time.

tl;dr i love you all
Okay 4 plants with good genetics can yield just as much weed as 6 plants with lesser genetics.
So here is what I recommend.
Tent: 4x4 minimum with 5x5 preferred because it gives you room to walk in the tent which saves your back and also gives you room for extra equipment inside the tent, buy Vivosun they are good quality and have excellent zippers.
Seeds/breeders: Dinafem and Dutch Passion are excellent breeders you can buy both from Dinafem.
https://www.dinafem.org/en/
Grow Light: Depending on how large of a yield you want you have several options.
500 Watt Samsung LED.

320 watt Samsung LED.
If you want more than 500 watts in a 4x4 or 5x5 you can buy more than one of these lights and hang them side by side.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
Go buy a 4x4 tent, ideally gorilla but can get cheaper.

Get some short heavy gauge cords
Still haven’t said what medium, so I can’t recommend anything there for nutes or pots. Since your new, I’d consider soil and airpots.
You’ve got lots to learn, buy the grow encyclopedia.
The Cannabis Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to Cultivation & Consumption of Medical Marijuana https://www.amazon.com/dp/1878823345/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_9RIDjvgDjnPoc
I’m sure I forgot something, it’s off the top of my head, you’ll always be running and picking up a trinket or two. That said, this will get you far down the path.
Need to decide medium and I can help point you towards genetics. Probably clones to start off.
For a 4x4 one of these will do the job fine. https://www.amazon.com/VIVOSUN-Australia-Charcoal-Pre-Filter-Reversible/dp/B01731MLFK/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=vivosun+carbon&qid=1558403068&s=gateway&sr=8-4
If this is a long term hobby or in prohibition land and/or you have the funds. Black ops are the best on the market.
But also depending on where you are venting. YOu may grabs some plants that can help mask the smell
This is the filter and this is the fan. The fan says 351 CFM but I couldn't find the rating for the filter. One person in the questions said it was 400 CFM though.

This is the latest one i bought. I have been using it for about 9 months now probably replace it in a few months if it smells or not.
If you're willing to spend that much just get a fan and carbon filter.

All I can tell you is - follow the universal truth - You get what you pay for. Of course there are a few exceptions, I've found great quality products for cheap, but those gems are far and few between right?
That being said, you are on the right track. After reading reviews I ended up going with this filter and then I got this fan and so far they've been great. The speed controller is a nice touch. When it comes to carbon filters, they are mostly all the same in terms of design, so if you go with a cheaper brand to save 10 bucks I really don't think you'll be hurting yourself or your set up, but things like fans, mechanical devices, i wouldn't cheap out on.
