Setting Up a Secret Jardin DR60

Was wanting to see if any had this tent and what your light and vent setups are.
The dimensions of the tent is 24"x24"x64" and i am wanting to run up to a 600w in a air cooled hood with scrubber.
Noise is my main worry and I'm looking for suggestions from people.

I can tell you right off the bat that is too small for a 600W it was my original tent that I ran a 250/400w in. I upgrade to 36*36 and still dont get the most out of my 600W. Hope this helps also I don't recommend jarden's because they are so overpriced I got mine for 69.95 from amazon and it uses all the same materials and has lasted me the past year with only minor issues.

I run a 600 in a 3x3 secret jargin...I gotta stay on top of the heat in summer.cooltube and moving alot of air. Plus a 600 hood is cramped in a 3x3.

600W is over kill for that size tent. when running 250w, expect 3 mason jars of good dried harvest. as for noise, invest in a quiet 4' FAN with speed controller. if you stick with 600w, consider the energy useage for so little return when a 250w and scrog will give you the same or more.

Could you list your light and vent setups and what your temps are inside tent and in main room tents in. Pretty sure I'm going to go with a 400w switchable magnetic ballast with a air cooled hood and carbon scrubber just want to make sure i have enough cfm and big enough scrubber for the setup thanks for all your help!

So I've done extensive research and this is what I've came up with.

Phresh Filter 6in x 16in 400CFM

Lumatek 600-400w so i can turn the watts up in the winter
cooltube "thinking 19" hydrofarm need advice"
Insalated ducting "need help on what brand works best for odor and noise reduction"

Also plan on building a DIY box for my inline to reduce noise even further if needed maybe even a inline fan muffler.



Any help or advice on setup would be appreciated greatly!

Straight 6 cool tube from htg works or me i don't use insulated ducting because most noise is from the fan and the air blowing out

other than that looks fine post pics when setup
