I had these in storage from a while back, still in original packaging. I have 3 of em. Will these be enough to vent my grow tent? Tent is a 5×5×8

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.

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?
