what type of lighting and fans will I need for a grow tent?

[bud man jay]

I'm getting a grow tent size 48x24x60 and i was wondering what type of fans and exhaust will I need? I already have a 400hps sodium light and two clip on fans. What kinda ducting and exhaust do you guys recommend. All input will be appreciated

I would say a 6inch inline fan with carbon filter and either cool tube or vented air cooled hood. I like the hoods. Better lighting. Sun systems are awesome. GL

well, I would think you will probably need the same equipment (fans and lighting) for the tent grow.. as you would if you were growing without a tent.

Just make sure you keep the lights on temps in check though.. but that's pretty easy to take care of as long as you have adequate air circulation such as a good intake and exhaust (fans).

As far as lighting goes.. I would think you could still use HPS/MH lights with the tent.. but again.. just make sure you don't get the tent too hot using those type of lights.. could cause the tent to catch fire..

In a nutshell? Just make sure you don't get the inside of the tent to overcrowded with equipment... scale things down a little bit.. and there ya go.

I really don't know too much about using grow tents.. as I've never used one. Never seen the need for a tent..

anyhow, good luck to ya. and im sure someone else will glide through here and give you more advice. Hopefully someone that uses a grow tent..

either way, best of luck to ya's.

peace.

Any kind of carbon filter from a hydro shop, it goes on the exhaust duct to keep the smell down.
