PH and humidity tester

The struggle here is that im uncertain what size fan and odor system to use. And do i need to buy two fans, one for intake and one for exhaust? finally, with the listed equipments, will they all fit well together for good functioning? im not sure about the heat problem, but with the cooltube i assume it will be fine.

Pots, mediums, and nutes will be taken care later on.

It will be great if you guys can fill in any gaps in my list of equipments with reference to the web i provided to make it simpler for me to understand.

You might need a BAASP adapter to hook the cool tube up to the ballast, but I'm using a different ballast. You should be fine with a 400w in there, the description on the tent says good up to 250w, but I'm not sure. Hook a fan to your cool tube with ducting, have it pulling air through the bulb, and out the tent. Yeah, you can have a fan for both intake and exhaust.

So how many fans should i have? so far it seems like i need three. One for extracting heat from the cooltube, one for intake and another one for exhaust? sorry im lost.

The cool tube fan would work as an exhaust. Intake is only if your plants don't get fresh air or if the temps get too bad.
