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
up to a good start...
If you dont use a carbon filter and you dont have a long run for the exhaust maybe this could be helpfull.
I used a 6'' vivosun inline booster fan for my 5x5 with a 400w hps and it sucked the air out quite fast, a bit noisy should be more than enough for any hps and was pretty cheap compare to the usual inline fan.
and you can buy a speed controller for cheap on amazon too because its almost pulling too much...

​
but if you plan on running long tubing for the exhaust or have 2 or 3 lights together get a bigger inline fan

​
have an 8 inch (around 800cfm) for a 5 x 10 and with the filter and long ducting run and its borderline. If you have straight and short ducting... you can get away with a smaller fan . The filter will reduce the pull of the fan .
I would get a 600w HPS cool tube . Affordable and can't argue with their results. You will need to get an inline fan (duct booster) to go with it, also cheap on amazon. Just my opinion. A little over your 200$ but uoi could also go down to the 400w HPS. But for the 600w, to go over your budget by 40-50$ will reward you well. I also do understand that these are not as efficient, but its like only $30/month to run a 600HPS.
​
The low end LEDs will give you good results as well (if used properly) but I don't feel you will ever get the results you would using HPS.
​
Just my opinion.
That fan is fine. When someone says booster fan they usually mean one like this

You can get pens for cheap. $15 or so on amazon. You have to calibrate these more often than one of the more expensive ones like bluelab but other than that they work fine.
You do not need a fan that crazy. Get a six inch inline duct fan. That will do the job
