Best grow tent for budget?

[Airwalker16]

You mean duct holes at the bottom of the perimeter walls?

 

[Airwalker16]

And ya, you're gonna need to get like a window unit ac or small swamp cooler and duct right to its cold air into the tent.

 

[HansBud]

Exactly no.holes at bottom at all, and that's what I was thinking as well if the price is right I know AC units are not cheap and require a good amount of power so that may not work I haven't heard of swamp coolers tho I'll look into them
Another Idea I had which is weird but may work is getting a cooler core from an old mini fridge laying around and possibly mess with that

 

[HansBud]

Just looked into the swamp coolers holy expensive haha I wish I could afford some this stuff and set ups like you guys but five years from now could be a totally different story looks like I'm gonna make some of these and put one inside and a giant one outside pain in the ass to refill all the time but I can do it unless I can get the mini fridge cooler core to work

So I've been looking online for grow tents and wanna see if anyone on here has any links to some good but cheaper ones I'm looking to spend 150$ and am hoping to get and area of about 5'x5' and 7' or higher thanks in advance!!

Check both Amazon and E-bay. Just picked up a 60x60x78 (5x5x6.5) for $125.

Space size?
Light type and how many?
# of plants in space?
Average temp/humidity (currently)?
Average ambient (outside tent) temp?

I will take a close up today!!! I'm finding one thing I do not like so far and that it is there are no ducting holes on the bottom of the tent... So I'll have to do some extra ducting. Also gonna need some help with getting temps down in the future come late June/earlyJuly the temps outside will be from mid 70s to high 80s and my grow tent is outside in a barn... Dunno where I'm gonna get cold intake as there is no AC or ways to control temps. Right now I'm thinking possibly of a redneck air conditioner! But if anyone else has cheap/genius ideas I'm all ears!

You never took close up pics of the diamond for me.

You're off to a great start. Those aren't bad conditions at all, my friend. A steady 75-80° is absolutely acceptable. You can drop that humidity a hair or two by adding one more 240cfm on the exhaust side.

I can nearly guarantee the barn is gonna get way to hot homie.

That's what I'm saying last summer it got to like 95 when it was only 86 out.. Plus the lights in a smaller space I'm almost definitely gonna get a 5000 BTU mini AC unit

 

[HansBud]

Alrighty so I got a little 5000 BTU AC unit. Now my question is would it be better to cut my tent and have the unit half way in the tent haflway out? Or leave the unit outside the tent and duct in the cool air through one of the tents duct's?

Duct it in. Don't ruin your tent. Plus sealing it around the unit will suck.
