I'll start with my tent, I used all 1"x2"x8' lumber cut to spec. so my tent is 6'6'5' and i built it as a square cage frame w/ wood screws, than i wrapped the whole thing with 3mm black plastic stapled to the wood. For my door i just hemmed back to size a piece of the same plastic stapling the top and velcroing the sides and bottom. the whole tent cost me around 30.00. Than i built the top separate to fit on top and i made it to where my 600w hps light sits firmly in an opening its exact size...so the actual fixture is outside the tent, than somewhat sealed the inside with clear packaging tape. For cooling and air intake i bought some dryer ducting (4") a 4" cupeling to fit in a hole in the bottom of the tent, strung the ducting up my wall and over to the a/c vent in my apartment were i taped most of the vent off with tape besides were the duct is connected. Most of the time i will just set the apartments thermostat on the fan option and if its a hot day i'l run the a/c, note if you close the other vents in your apartment the more pressure of air you will get to your tent. And know for my exhaust wich im most proud of. I ordered online a 8in in-line duct booster(370 cfm) for about 50 bucks and a 6" carbonair replacement filter for like 9 bucks. So when I got those in the mail i went to home depot and got a 8" to 6" reducer to fit the inline fan, some 6" ducting, a 6" duct cap some cupelings and some chicken wire. I built a 6" cylinder like tube the length of the carbonair filter with the chicken wire securing the duct cap to one end and a cupeling on the other, wrapping the carbonair filter around the chicken wire cage. Once done i put it all together mounting my in line fan on the top of my tent with the ducting going in to the filter. Not completely done with the exhaust, right now its blowing back out into the same room the tent is in but i have really no other option because the window points out to a populated area/parking lot basically theres alot of people that always walk by. Well thats pretty much it, tips or suggestions appreciated thanks.
