Final setup for my Grow Tent!!

After much help from both GC and Roll It Up I have finally decided on what my setup is going to be like. Below is the contents of my setup and a ghetto picture i drew online with a MSPaint program. Note i will be starting the seeds in a dixie cups in a humidty dome. Also note the venting on the top is just a sketch and not where the items will be placed.

Total being spent is roughly around $650. Kinda Pricey but im happy with all that im getting and how much of the stuff can be used over and over again.

The strains i am growing are 2 x Big Bang and 4 Random Bag seed with no name atm. Hoping that when it gets up and going i find out.

2x Inline Fan
Inductor 8 In. In-Line Duct Booster Fan - DB208 at The Home Depot

20" Box Fan
Walmart.com: Galaxy 20" Box Fan: Home Improvement

In the Picture the red represents the inline duct fans. One blows fresh air in at the bottom and the top one sucks the heat from the light, and sucks the air out into a carbon filter. Yes i have researched the bends in the ducting and how much air flow is cut down from each type of bend. The blue part is the carbon filter. The black lines are trying to represent the way air is flowing through the tent. The box fan is up in the top left corner but i am skeptical of switching to clip fans. Box fan pushes more air.

Much Love Guys and thanks for all your help!!!!! Any more advice is greatly appreciated.

Looks like you are off to a good start. Great light choice for that space. I like your shopping list but I see some things that could cause problems down the road.

First off, those inline booster fans aren't going to perform well. They aren't going to effectively suck air through a carbon filter and are going to be pretty loud for how little air they move. Invest in the centifugal fan and filter combo at HTG since you are doing all your shopping there anyway. Don't skimp on this very important part of your setup.

Also, you ideally want air pulled through the carbon filter, not pushed like you pictured.

Thanks bro that helps alot and ill hop right on it.

Could not've said it better. I own one of those fans and lemme tell ya, they are JUNK. When you hook them up to a line of ducting, they don't move 160 cfm like they say...not the way a vortex fan will.

Exactly. Any sort of resistance in the duct (ie carbon filter) and those fans are completely worthless. They can't take any sort of backpressure and they aren't that powerful to begin with. They are a good cheap intake fan but I wouldn't use them to move any substantial amount of air, especially for cooling a hood.

Yeah thanks guys I actually decided to go with a double intake Centrifugal fan that runs 475 cfm. Im going to have the carbon filter on one side and the the light hooked up to the other side. Both sides push 475 cfm which is pretty beast and im getting it for free!!!! Also getting another fan for the bottom to that is going to be hooked up to my A/C hole in the wall with ducting. Pretty beastly since both are for free and all its gona cost me is to throw the guy some goods at the end.
