My first grow tent setup

I got a carbon filter,ducting, other end of an air cooled hood, ducting that goes through fan sucking all that air and out the top of the tent with last piece of ducting. I made a test run for about 40min and the temp was 26 degrees celsius which is about ideal right? I just dont know if it would heat up more when its on for hours. My apartment is pretty chilly and I only got the tent flaps for passive intake. Dont know if it'll work

sounds about perfect to me

keep it between 22C and 28C maybe try to run it for a few hours and monitor it ?

but I run sum thing similar, a 4x4 grow area in a 10x12 spare bed room and just vent it out the spare bed room (witch of course have normal passive ventilation)

Now I use LEDs but before I had a 600W HPS in a cool hood (filter - duct - hood - duct - ventilation - out the grow room)

sum thing like this

I have a ambi temps in my apartment on around 22-24C (a bit hotter at summer times why I now use LEDs) the 600W HPS made my grow room temps go up to +34C before adding a 6" ventilation, then I could keep it around 30C and once I got the cool hood on I could get it at them perfect 26-28C most of the time

Get a min/max thermometer with an external probe to monitor the temperature fluctuations inside and outside the tent.
