Wsup RIU folks!
I got (2) Dr150 5x5 tents, I want to use one for veg and other for flower. Got a couple questions on how i should set these up.

Veg area:
-8 Bulb t5, PAR bulbs

Flower:
-6" Vortex
-2 600 watt HPS, air cooled
-6" phresh filter

For the ventillation, would it be possible to exhaust both tents with the vortex?. I konw that the t5's dont put very much heat out, so would it be possible to connect both tents with a duct and exhaust out the window? Btw im going to be using passive intake for both tents.

Now for the flower lighting setup, Im guessing both lights should be parrallel to each other like in the picture below. Should I buy 90degree elbows to connect all the joints or could i just do it simple and use bendable ducting?

Thanks for the help guys!

you should think about size and what you can really do. what is efficient and effective. 2 hoods or cools tubes in a 5x5 for flower 600 halide 600 hps side by side. so one side is more blue and farther from red and other side is more red and closer to plants. the halide would only come on for 6 hours a day to act as midday. plants in the blue side would be plants just placed into flower and as plant from the red side finish flowering the blue side plants would move closer and closer to the red side. now you have your vortex pull from your filter and push across the lights out a vent into other tent where it enters tent add a tee duct piece. to keep the flow going outside you will want to add a similar inline sucking air out of the room i would sell the t5 and buy a cheap 400w metal halide and hood to mother and clone and set up a corner with poly and a 200w flouro as a male flowering area.
