So im new here... wondering about a cheap grow i could do that would help me for my college apt. im sharing with all my smoker friends

so if anyone can help me here with some tips... im thinkin
1. small grow tent, like this one for 4-8 plants? (not sure what strains yet...)

2. LED!!!! i want to start using only LED and some cfls for a lil boost... other then that i need the LED's cheap and big. would i need a bigger than 240w blackstar with 3m?
3. soil, nutes, how much to water in 3-5 gal buckets.
4. adding peralite? supposedly 50/50 mixes can do you good..
5. fans on the weed and out of the tents at all times..
6. carbon filter on the exhaust (DIY)
7. possible 4/4 veg/flower stages.. which means when i do the lighting itll go 18/6 20/4 respectively
8. depending if i pick autoflowering first or go for a regular strain or not i will go with supercropping and topping the regular ones. i also want to scrog or LST them ...
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK... i need some insight so i can effectively make beautiful green ganja for myself and my friends this year during school so i dont have to sell or or get a job lol

) thank you newb central..
