    Whats up guys. 3rd time grow but 1st time using a fully enclosed tent and im runnin into some heat issues. Im pretty new to dealing with fans/ventalation so any help is appreciated.
    First off my set up

    -Im using a 62x36x20 grow tent off amazon.
    Amazon.com: LEDwholesalers GYO1001 62-Inch x 36-Inch x 20-Inch Mylar Reflective Hydroponic Grow Tent: Patio, Lawn & Garden
    -For my lighting as of now i have a 2ft 4tube T5 fluorescent but I'll be switching to a 250w hps for flowering.
    -The only fan i have in there now is a 8in desk fan but with the door closed the temps climbed to 88 last night.


    EDIT: Opened the front door of the tent for 20mins and the temps jumped down to 74 so im good for now. I Know its going to be hotter when I put in the 250w hps so does anyone have ventilation tips for it?
     
  2. You'll need an exhaust fan and a passive intake as well as the interior fan to circulate the air.
     
  3. try craigslist i got a brand new carbonfillter and 6in inline for 150
