Hello everyone at rollitup. I return to you guys with my second grow. Before, I had some threads going on a grow I was doing but this one will be much better :)

Heres what ive got planned so far.

I plan to have a Veg and Flower tent. I want to get a 4 veg 4 flower cycle going. Is this tent big enough or even too big? Would 600w HPS be needed for the flower or could i get by well with a 400w? Just some advice to bring the cost down since I would still need to buy intake and exhaust fans (you can suggest some as well :D) thanks.!

Tent - 210.60 -

Looks like you are off to a good start. Here's my two cents...

If that is the size tent you are set on, either light should work fine. The 600w would be more ideal. I highly recommend a cooltube or air-cooled hood in a tent to keep the temps down. As for the ventilation, invest in a good 6" inline or centrifugal fan to cool the tent and light. Skip the intake fan, you don't need one. Are you going to get a carbon filter to keep the odor down too?

I've got a 600w in a 5x5 so if you want some ideas, take a look at my grow...

Not sure what happened to the tent link but heres there list of dark rooms

Are these the same brand as secret jardin? Cant find a good local store that has them.
What size tent is the minimum for 4 plants in soil? Is the DR80 enough room or should i shoot for the 120? I built my own carbon filter in my last grow so ive got the smell covered

As far as a 6" inline fan for exhaust, do you have any suggestions? How many CFM's should i at least be at? Ill also have a circulating fan for my babies to get strong :D

Yeah, the links aren't working. I figure it is better to have more room in the tent than not enough. I'd go with the bigger tent if you have room in your house. Check out bghydro.com for tents as well. I got a killer deal on a 5x5 Homebox XL for $150 shipped.

For the fan, vortex and canfan are both trusted name brands but you'll pay more for them. I got a cheaper Aeroflow fan off ebay for $120 shipped and it is super quiet and high quality. It pushes 450cfm.
