Thank for your time I have 3 gg#4s just finished installing mars hydro 2000' I did have a MH1000 in there until this point. A small desk fan circulating air. I am planning on getting a 6in carbon filter in a couple weeks. I am beginning to realize 3 plants might have been too much for a 2.5x2.5. Any criticism/ ideas are welcome. Trying to get good at this. The shoes strings on the light is because the light was hanging too low so I came up with that shoestring idea to extend the distance from the plants. Thanks and happy growing 4/20 tomorrow hope you ready. Also happens to be my son's birthday. How crazy is that

Nice and clean with healthy looking plants. Looks like you are doing well man.
 
If you are getting a 6" fan...or even a 4"....make sure it has adequate speed control.

A standard "3-speed" 6" fan will create a huge amount of negative pressure and suck in the sides of your tent. There are some newer fans with electronic controllers that offer up to 8-10 speed settings. You will be able to modulate among the lower speeds to get enough power to pull air through a filter and exchange the air in your tent without generating a hurricane inside it.
