I would go w/the air cooled hood. I'd rec between 350-500CFM per hood, and dont forget that yer gonna have to vent it OUT of the tent!!!

that much cfm per hood should one 465cfm be enough?

would def cool the hoods (cant go wrong there),
I would suggest around 465-500 cfm vortex ,and vent outside the tent.

very good. I will get a 465cfm fan connect both hoods and pull cool air from outside room through lights then out of tent. also does anyone have any experience with theese strains? is fox farm the best to use or are there other nutes out there that perform better

I am using a 4inch 175CFM Vortex to cool my 2 600W in ELD hoods and the it keeps them fairly cool. Top of the second hood is a bit hot but you can hold your hand a inch under the glass and its not hot. Intake air about 6 deg cooler than inside the room. But could be the hood design i dunno
