I'm going to start an indoor op, I've been growing outdoors for a few seasons now, but the length of the season outdoors has led me to look in a new direction now.

I will be growing 50 plants indoors in soil in a closed environment that I'll build using 2 gallon pots and will have 2-3 mothers that I'll clone from. My main questions concern lighting, odor prevention, and fans.

I have 2 spaces I'm contemplating about using, one is 6' x 10' and the other is 8' x 6'. Will this be enough space for 50 plants?

For lighting I was wondering if (2) 600w HPS/MH convertible lights would provide enough lumens to cover the 50 plants, I looked into ballasts and have read that many people like the Lumatek digital ballasts and for a reflector I was looking into the Xtrasun 6" Aircooled. What size fans for intake and exhaust would work best for the 2 rooms described above, I looked into 6" Vortex fans, will they work well?

For odor prevention, what size carbon scrubber would work best?

For the 2-3 mothers I was going to buy a 250w MH and put them inside a 4' x 4' grow tent using 2" intake and exhaust fans and hooking up a DIY carbon scrubber I saw.

I have 2 large oscillating fans and a humidifier as well as plenty of temperature/humidity monitors and a lighting timer already.

Also does anyone know how many 2 gallon pots a 2.5cu ft bag of soil will fill? I'll be using a mix that I use outdoors of 60% organic potting soil, 20% perlite, and 20% worm castings to fill my pots. I'll be using Fox Farm nutrients also.

Thanks for any tips and advice you all can provide, I used this forum when I first started to learn how to grow outdoors. Keep it green!
