Straight run without a filter though mate.

My shitty Vents TT 5" (280m3/hr) will cool a 400w bare bulb through a filter then through a 600w cooltube as long as it's not raping hot summer.

That Ruck pulling 372m3\hr straight through should be right?
maybe winter but a 5'' will not cool 2 aircooled 600s enough i been doing it years yman lol

bigger fan, better air flow, better grow, simples. 1 light, a 5 inch is ok, 2 lights, you need more.
Add wattage of lights together, plus 20%, then divide by 2. Thats the m squared rating you need for your fan.

dont mean to interupt but surley this is a case of bigger = better ? so the biggest one you can afford? from whats been said i assume 8 / 10" to go overkill, are you trying to make it so theres practically no heat from the bulbs at all???

EDIT: just read dst comment.

ok go imc go for the 5'' dont be then moaning your temps are too hot a 5'' isnt enough to cool two 600 aircooled hoods.

Which specific 5" are you talking about?

I can put 2 fans in front of you and one will shift nearly twice as much air as the other one but both will have a 5" flange.

It's about airflow not the size of the fitting which is the point I was trying to make.
 
whats the best easiest antivirus scan I can do I think I have a virus of some sort and avg aint seeing it for shit.

Remove any antivirus or anti malware you currently have. This is important or things will get counter productive.

Install Avast antivirus. It's free, they will try to fool you with the premium every now and again but just look for the No thanks I'll stick with free button. Once installed, update virus definitions and (click maintenance tab and click update engine and virus definitions).

Now download and install Malwarebytes.

Run a scan on both. Keep both updated whenever they prompt to and schedule regular scans.
Virus free since 2003, it's that simple as long as your take appropriate precaution.

painting your walls diamond white will reflect less heat back into your groom then mylar or panda poly does (if your using it that is).

good fan choice man, money well spent.

just another thought if your in a closet why not look into a "closed loop system" my basic understanding is that you rid intake / outtake and replace with a co2 tank and crank it up to 1500ppm of co2 in there....

just a thought if moneys no issue from what ive seen co2 at the right levels seems to make for a heavy-er harvest!
