I got a 2ftx3ftx5ft tent with a 4inch inline fan for intake of fresh air and a 6 inch inline fan for exhaust. I have two 240 watt led panels that I though I'd use one to start and add the second when I start flowering. Is this a good idea or use both from the beginning? I have cables that lower and retract to change height of lights but in my 5 foot tent I can get 3 feet from the floor. Is this close enough? Do I need anything else to get started? Any input would help. Thanks.

That seems like more than enough ventilation, you could probably get away with either alone with a passive intake. I've never used led lightts before but it's my understanding they put off almost no heat. In the beginning I'd drop the lights as low as they go, and raise the plants up as close to the lights as you can. Use as many lighs as it takes to cover everything. Veg til the plants are about 1/3 of total height available.

I can tell you that 4'x2'x4' the combo in my sig works well. Also consider that you are going to have smell in the room you open up into until you close the tent and allow it to suck in that air from the room and filter it. So a bigger combo will filter that more quickly.
