BTW unless you are close to one of their stores don't look at anything that includes soil.
The shipping costs for shipping that kind of weight get very pricey.
Would be much cheaper to just buy the stuff separate and get the soil at a store in your area.

Yes I am its only 20 min from me he actually told me on the phone today I can can just abot everything beside the little stuff for 305$. That to me is a good deal idk if its the same as the one I put on but it is a descent sized tent and 400 w mh/hps ballast hood and inline vent.

could buy that but that booster fan wont cut it for ventilation gonna need to get a real inline fan so add about another 100. also gonna want some sort of air cooled hood depending on the temps where you are. also don't think I saw anything about a carbon filter. you could get a better setup than that just gotta shop around.

How many cfm's do I need for venting and how much to cool that bulb would you say?

I have run their 4'x4' tent with their 4" inline fan/filter combo as the only exhaust.
I ran the open air quadray reflector with a 400w hps/mh magnetic ballasts. <also from HTG
I used the long flap at the back bottom of the tent as the passive air intake and a 16" oscillating fan hanging from the top for air movement.
It was in a friends basement and the temp was great, stayed at 74-79 all the time.

Sense you live by there store, take a look at the automatic fire extinguishers small ones are like $30 in store and work for a 4'x4' area.
It will keep you and your house safe from burning up, small price to pay to not have that worry on your mind.
