Live Stoner Chat growing question

hmm i guess ive been reading some bad information. i read that your fan should beable to cycle the air in the room roughly 8 times an hour. so since my room is 840 cubic feet. i was under the impression that a 140cfm fan would cycle the air alright. im kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place here. i dont want a large tent since im only growing one plant at a time, im a very light cannabis user. i was wanting to stick to a 2x2 tent. but there limited for height. the tallest one i was able to find was a secret jardin tent which is 5.25 feet tall, my current tent is 4 feet. and the jardin is $150. seems if you want to get in the 6 or 7 foot range then i need to go to like a 3x3 or 4x4 tent and thats going to cost over $200. i could buy a bigger tent but then i dont have the money for my inline fan and carbon filter.
Heres a question im really wondering, what is the smell from a single pot plant actually like? lets say i was growing just one autoflower of a really smelly variety. would that one plant really stink up my entire 1600 square foot home? i know some plants have strong scents but can it really be that strong on a smaller auto? since i live alone and the only people i ave over already know im growing a plant, im not to overly convcerned with a light smell. in which case i could probably spend the money on a taller tent. what actually is consifered a tall enough tent?
would the 5 foot secret jardin tent be tall enough that i woldnt have to worry about space constraints with a regular auto
 
Sadly I'm Canadian and that doesn't ship to Canada. I'll have to look on amazon Canada and see if they have same tent. Are the mars hydro good tents. That one isn't much larger then I have now but it's definitely taller

I have the Mars 4'x4' tent I'm using now, metal poles and pretty heavy duty. I also have a Vivosun 4'x4' as a backup tent till I have extra room to set it up.

Looks like a nice tent. And I did find the same on on Amazon.ca for 116 bucks so not to bad. I'll have to lol into that.

And is that the auto pot system I see in your setup? I was looking into those looked like a super slick unit with their valve system. Does it in fact allow a proper dry cycle like the advertising says?

And I think for now I'll use the funds I have to purchase a 4 inch fan and carbon filter. And look at getting that mars hydro tent a little later. Figure air scrubbing is more important first lol.

My current tent is a topogrow, it appears to be very well built and heavy material as well. But having the extra 15 inches of height on the mars hydro tent will really make life easier. With that height I could easily manage a solid 24 inches of plant height or a little more. So wouldn't have to worry as much.
I attached a pic of my current setup and current grow progress.

I wouldn't say it allows a dry cycle. The valve fills the tray as the plants the plants use it up. They always have a fresh nutrient supply. So more like a hydro system with growing medium. I'm using just straight coco coir and don't use the clay hydroton on the bottom of the pots. If you click the indoor grow link in my signature you will be able to check out the grow.

Ummmmm.... I'd like to check out your grow but sorry to sound stupid but what is a signature? I've never used forums before so learning how they work as I go lol.
