Hey guys,
After a lot research I have come up with a list of what I plan to use for my grow room/tent. Im wondering if this will be a good setup. If this isn't the right place to ask, a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
I plan growing in coco coir with 2-4 plants with LST, Topping, and supercropping to maximize yield. Will be running in an AC'd room with exhaust air going outside. Currently planning for passive intake with a couple oscillating fans inside.

Tent: VIVOSUN 48"x48"x80 Mylar Hydroponic Grow Tent
Lighting: VIVOSUN Hydroponic 1000 Watt HPS MH Grow Light Air Cooled Reflector Kit
Exhaust:AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T6, Quiet 6” Inline Duct Fan with Temperature Humidity Controller
Carbon Filter: Amagabeli 6 inch Carbon Filter
Oscillating fans: Genesis 6-Inch Clip Convertible Table-Top & Clip Fan
If you even have suggestions on how exactly to set up, that'd be great!

Do you think I'd need a dehumidifier/humidifier, CO2, or anything else for the tent regarding environment?

Thanks!

It will be in a room with AC, and I planned on using passive intake for fresh air. Read in many places that I don't need an intake fan necessarily. If you believe one would help, I'll look into it.

I'm gonna say you would be better off with a 600 watt as far as heat but then again if I was doing a 4x4 I'd prob try to push for a 1000 too I'd just figure out heat

2 passive lower ports open are fine for intake. The exhaust is what all tents need and your kit has a decent one. The lighting isn't efficient and I wouldn't run MH/HPS but many still do. All you really NEED tho, is another fan besides that 6" cheap Genesis garbage. A tall fan like a TOWER fan is best, it can get air to mid and upper ranges of ur plants for good air circulation.

So u wanna exhaust air and while that fan pushes air out u are wanting it to also draw new air in at the same time passively thru the small holes in the walls of the tent right ? I think I understand u and if so I don't like the idea I push fresh air in my rooms and I push old air out

Yeah I've read that the 600w is MUCH more manageable when it comes to heat, but the ballast is dimmable to 750 and lower so if I really needed to Id just just run it at 750. Thats only if I can't figure out heat, and if a second exhaust and an intake are what it takes, thats fine. Thanks again for the help.

Efficient in what way do you mean?
And yeah to be honest, when it came down to researching for oscillating fans I did not dig as deep. You're the first person in all the places I've looked to mention using a tower fan, and I never even thought of that.
Thanks.

I have the same tent with a 6" exhaust. 1000w ipower hps with air cooled hood. My basement is 66F. Exhaust is turned all the way down and the tent doesn't get above 76F.

Your setup will be perfect.
Check my signature and you'll see my setup and that I'm stating facts.

So far out of the four people who have responded to my two identical posts over two sites, two have agreed with my setup, one thought it was iffy, and the other was worried only about inner fans, but you're the only one to back it up with facts.
Bulla mentioned problems with intake, do you think passive will be ok? and will the one 6" exhaust be sufficient or will I need two?
Couch_buzz mentioned that the genesis are crap but I see in your setup you use the same ones? Have they worked out for you through all stages of plant life?
The exhaust is all the way down?! do you have any issues regarding RH?
Thanks a ton for your response.
