Yea Buddy, as far as I know you can do what you are wanting to do in that tent. How many cfm's is the fan, a lot of people use to can fans. One for cooling the lights with intake air and one sucking through the filter and exausting. Figure the cubic footage of your tent and plan on having twice as much going out than what is coming in. to keep a negative pressure to avoid odor leakage, you will probably be OK!

But too, is that the white lined tent, if so they allegedly kill MJ plants!

I take it you are in the uk?? from my research the budbox was a high quality unit with no off gassing.. but don't hold me too that. After trial and error of several tents I found, imo, the growlabs to be best followed by secret jardin, then homebox. The grow labs are made by sj/homebox. They have the best of both worlds. You would not believe the weight the cross members will take!
It says the fan can clear 285 cubic meters/hour, my tent is only 70 cubic feet.
So wait I need two inline fans? One sucking new air in from the outside and the other one blowing air out? Hmmm from the pic it looks to be white on the inside, but from the research I have done everyone has said Budbox (Globalhydro) is the best company that makes tents, and dont a lot of tents have white on the inside? So i dunno man.
Would this Box be better? http://www.homebox.net/dhtml/product_family_homebox_l.php
It still is white lined, so i dunno
thanks for the help!

Not for intake.. he was saying people run one fan to cool the light and one to pull exhaust... if setup right though you can accomplish both with one fan. I run a gl145 (5x5) with a 1000w and use one 6 inch ho fan. Sucks air through filter through light then out top of tent. I even have it speed controlled to about half output. Temps hover around 76 - 78...

Oh and the original homebox was white.. the newer are silver.
Ohhh I gotcha, so I should be looking at an air-cooled light so I avoid over heating? or just get a bigger fan and run ducting from the light to the fan, which sucks the hot air outside the tent?

Budboxes are pretty good, although you have to make sure its all light tight with all the duffle strings inside, a single 5" fan and scrubber would do the xl budbox just fine,

Air cooled hood or you will hate life!!
Ok thanks, do you have any suggestions for a good air cooled light set-up?
I was thinking about doing the same set up. I have a gl145 to and a 1000w xxxl magnum 8. The guy at the hydro shop was tellin me to get a fan for the light, another for intake, and another to blow out. I was like damn thats a lot of fans. Do you run CO2? What kind of fan you running? Im getting confused with information overload. But you got the same tent and light i do. I just want proper ventilation and temp control plus the CO2. Oh yeah and odor.
