. Sounds like you have a plan. I have a few questions to throw out there for you. What is the size of your grow space? Especially your height. I have seen some pretty big DP White Widows. Also, how many plants do you plan on finishing in your grow space.
The first thing I did when I first started was to fill my tent with pots and seedlings. I can fit 8 two gallon smart pots in my tent. I finished with 3 of the 8. The rest had to be culled to make room for the three that were doing the best. So I wasted 5 feminized seeds. Not fun. Now I only grow two plants to finish in that tent.....but I did buy another tent so I could grow more . So space management is something to consider.
Something else to consider. Height can kill your best grow. Have a plan ready just in case you get a large pheno. Whether it be LST or any other forms of training. Also consider how far your light is going to hang and how much headroom your filter will take up.
I thought I would be fine with a 2'×4'×5' tent until I had a "Yoda's Dragons Breath" decide she wanted to be 4' tall. Gave me a good reason to buy another tent though . My five foot tent is only good for about 3' of plant height after figuring in pot height and light hang plus distance between top of canopy and light. I now have one tent that is 7' tall and I can extend it to 8' if the need arises. I wish I would have known that auto's could be that awesome and that even I could grow something that nice. I would have made sure to either buy taller tents to begin with or pay more attention to training methods. And just to let you know, DP has great genetics and a White Widow in a 5 gal pot has great size potential. So just be prepared.
Happy growing my friend, welcome to the family and I look forward to your first journal.

Well i think i might have to get a bigger tent lol.it is only 60cmx60cmx140cm i asked in another thread how many plants i could fit in it cause i dont want to throw away any of my babys.so it will be 1 5 gallon pot,i think i am going to get a 1meterx1meterx2meters just to be safe as prices are quite reasonable and in my budget it just means it wont be as stealth but oh well

When you shop for another tent get the tallest you can fit and afford. You can always use the extra height.
I am thinking of turning my 2'×4'×5' tent into a drying area and replacing it with a Gorilla 2'×4'×7' tent with a extra 1' extension just in case I need it. Just need to get the idea by Mrs. Steel.

@AKsteel is right on! I need more height already. DP can get tall and Mephisto...Huge! I wouldn't try more than two in the space you have. Especially with the 300w. That is the same set up I had this time last year and I grew a nice couple of plants with it! You've got a great set up and great genetics. Best of luck!

Yeah i have been looking at some tents but i have the same problem with mrs 2stoned hahahaha
it was going to go in a little walk in wardrobe which is only 2 meters long 70cm wide and 2 meters high.
So why dont i just see if mrs 2stoned will let me covert it for growing then i would have a 2mx70cmx2m grow space its just the width that will be low but i can live with that

Sure will. Just run 2 or 3 plants and train them. LST or Scrog would be awesome

Just an update guys after browsing the forums here for the last few days i have cancelled my order and decided i need a tent with more height and a better led so i have been trawling the internet for a tent that is 60cmx60cmx200cm and could not find one anywhere i was getting quite downhearted but today found a gorilla lite tent that is 60cmx80cmx200cm which is absolutley perfect for my grow space.also i have decided to get the better mars 2 400w led and a rhino pro carbon filter and fan kit only problem is i have to wait even longer now but good things come to those who wait.
