Im planning out a starting a 8'x8' LED tent grow, and I was wondering what kind of intake fan do I need? I've been googling for the past 2 hours and I couldn't get any straightforward answers (I know they are out there I just suck) . If someone could give me some suggestions on the exact vents that would be optimal ill greatly appreciate it.
Also, a question for all the led users out there -> in a 8'x8' (240x240x200cm) what kind of lighting would you put in? I was thinking 4x600w (actual wattage) panels maybe 4x mars1200, am I way off in my planning?

Cheers

I would avoid those cheap blurple lights. May I suggest hlg lighting , timber grow lights or if you're into diy check out cobkits . They're all active members and can offer some additional information. Good luck and stay away from Mars hydro.

Ventilation depends on heat sources and ambient temp. And rh.
Suggestion go as big as you can and get a fans with the dimmer switch. That would be the most flexable.
Lights, blurlp isnt a crowd favorite. Cob or quantums is where its at. Lots of good threads on leds. Other option is two 1000watt hps.

if you're going to go hid, you'd be better off with 4 600s than 2 1ks, better coverage
i'd be going with quantum boards, probably by HLG, and possibly some strips for side lighting
that would require minimal venting for heat removal. you could probably get away with a good 6 inch fan dialed back about 25%, but an 8 inch fan running at 60% would last a lot longer, and probably be quieter
