Greetings and Happy 420 fellow RUI'ers!!

So I have my new tent set up about 95% of the way...

Attached is a pic so you can get a better understanding // glimpse of what I'm doing...

I'm planning on running (1) 400 - 600w MAYBE a 1000w BULB if i can get TEMPS dialed in properly

(6" air-cooled hood )

(Galaxy switchable 400/600/1000w electronic ballast)

I'm wondering what kind of fan I will need and how I go about installing in my tent ..

the tent consists of a frame that the tent wraps around with 2 cross bars which i have completely bunched together with a chain that is wrapped around it that holds my 6" air-cooled hood.

hope I'm making myself clear :)

ANYWAYS any and all feed back on how I should go about installing my 6" inline fan inside the tent is greatly appreciated !!

You hang your 6" inline fan setup via bungie cords if possible to help with vibration from the supports of your tent the same as your light and vent out the side. Pretty self explanatory.

as far as the fan goes I don't have any recommendations for I've only used ceiling exhaust fan. Even the lowest cfm infline 6" will be enough, consider filter cfm as well and plz don't start your grow till you have a filter on the other end of that hood.

I'd use a 400 watt lamp in that tent, definitely no bigger than a 600 watt (which, even then, you may end up dimming down to 400 watts due to heat).

I dont have a filter for my upstairs bloom room and smell is not a problem even with some of the stinkier strains like ace of spades.. and dairy queen why would I need one for my veg tent?
