Hi. I've been looking for 4x8 grow tents and cant come up with the perfect candidate. The sunhut xxl http://www.growlightexpress.com/grow-enclosures-tents-32/sun-hut-silver-xxl-4x8-144.html looks good except it looks like the lights are meant to be on two separate lines in the width of the tent (at least from what i gather from random pics which are few and far between). I want something where i can string my lights together along the length of the tent. Any suggestions?

I have a 600watt hps cool tube now in the closet, so i think i should get another 600 for this tent. I could cool those with a 449cfm vortex correct? I want to get 1-2 lb from this, having 10 plants in buckets. Im not sure if i should get 2 1000 watts though. I probably would need another fan? im willing to try 2 600s for the next grow so my question for this is if i ever want to get 1000k's, can i put them in my 6'' cool tube and get new ballasts.. would the 449cfm vortex cover the cooling?

After this is covered, i'll need intake and exhaust so what size fans would be sufficient? I'll be running a carbon filter before the exhaust i guess like growspace->filter->fan->outside tent, drawing the air through the filter.

Any suggestions or help? I plan on dropping a lot of dough into this over the next couple months...

I would stay with two 600's use the fan to cool them both, i would even look into moving light hangers.... Get the lights even closer to the tops since the light is moving back and forth you worry about the heat as much but still keep a close eye on it.... always check your temps, but it seems like you have a good op in mind, i hope to see pic's i was interested in those grow tents a while back. I heard they are great.
I think you can make your Quota for LB...
Look into LST or supercroping. To maximize your yeilds.
