imo no, that is a big tent and you will want a big (8"-10") centrifugal inline fan that moves at least 500 cfm.

As pulpoinspace said, No..
Those are duct boosters and are meant for long lengths of duct to help move the air along when the main fan is pushing air to them.
They are not really capable of shifting air on their own and cant handle resistance.

Use this chart to figure out your airflow needs based on wattage inside the space and ambient temp rise.
Then pick up a proper inline fan or box fan, if your skint try ebay or craigslist for second hand ones.

The fan shown can be expected to have a real operating CFM of about 50. Craigslist is a good place for used fans.

depending on your ambient temps and how much light and equipment you have running in your veg tent you might be able to get away with it but i wouldn't recommend it.
for cheaper fans i would recommend this for your veg tent:

You need an actual inline fan. Those aren’t enough to vent your space in anyway.

Something like this

It’s low end but it will give you an idea.

745 CFM! serious fucking fan lol . . . My hurricane is 175 CFM. By the way, buy a duct muffler, cheap and worth it for noise

I always run much bigger fans and use speed controllers to dial it in. It’s better to have the ability to up the speed if needed later down the road.

Hey. I bought it plugged it in In my bedroom and the damn thing turned my bedroom into the tornado from wizard of oz. Thanks for the advice though. Much appreciated. Do I need more than one or will the booster fans that I have be enough to supplement this beast?
