Well thanks everybody! As far as temps go. They are around 76 degrees while lights are on, 69-71 while off. I run my lights at night witch helps 10pm-10am. I have pull fresh air from outside the tent 24/7. Keeping the air circulating def is a big factor. Thanks guys keep watching!

Not really sure what brand? I got it off Amazon for $129.00. 4x4. Its pretty heavy duty couple pinhole light leaks but cant beat the price. Only disadvantage were the couner connectors, there were plastic. But secured them nice with good old fashioned DUCT TAPE!

If u want me to get back to u with the link for the tent it wouldnt be a problem? @GREENWHILLEY let me know

Yeah, it looks identical to mine, same price too.

its a good tent but on my 3rd grow a couple of the plastic ends on the hanging bars broke.
so I think the plastic becomes brittle after awhile.

Thanks for the heads up on the corner connectors! Start planning now on how to reinforced those puppies! Do u have any suggestions? I would hate for 50 pounds of cooltube & duct fan crushing my ladies!

As this is my first post on these forums I'd like to first say thank you! This set-up answered a bunch of questions I had about my own. (very similar, just in a 5 x 3 tent)

I wanted to ask what your actual house temperatures range during the day and night? I'm up in the mountains (Colorado) and although I'll be running the same 435cfm outlet fan, I was wondering if anyone thinks I would need an inlet fan as well? My lights will also run at night 8pm-8am, however my exterior temps will range from 0-30 degrees, which i think is too cold to pull directly into the tent, and my house sits at about 70 overnight, which I wasnt sure would offset the heat from the lights alone?

Thanks All

To be honest with temps like that outside. I dont know what the temps would end up as but this idea just popped into my head...If your running a set-up similar to mine, reverse the ventilation. Have the 435cfm blowing that cold air in and a smaller duct booster for exhaust. If u ran it that way you wouldnt need air cool hoods which does away with the glass which equals more lumens! Even do more lights maybe vertical? But you would have to see if the temps would be right.*Another scenario would be to pull your inlet air from a climate controlled room?

Another thing to look into is coil headed duct boosters. Or heating coils before the tent for inlet.
I would kill for those temps man. Any questions HMU
