if that is a 400w they don't get that hot, til you start using the HPS...you will need a fan...even just a box fan, but a fan to blow on the plants and help keep the tent cool...and he is right...weed is stinky sometimes...so if you don't want your place to reek you gotta get a carbon filter of some sort, or some ona gel, or something, but for real, incense won't cut it...lol...you should see if you can get a cool tube...I use one in flower and it makes a huge difference even before you hook te ducting into it..it does lessen the footprint of your light though...still suits me fine though.

If you intend on getting a filter those inline fans won't be strong enough. I say spend a few extra dollars and get a better fan and a speed controller so you can adjust the power as you need it. I tried those duct boosters and I had to upgrade to legit fan.

As for me, when i plan to buy something online, Amazon is my first choice and the second is Best Buy ...

I have everything besides carbon filter, ducting, an inline fan and a cool tube. Do you recommend any cheap inline fans i can get or cheap carbon filters? My budget has to be below $300

i would use ona.. to me thats not safety and safety is top in my opinion. i would use a inline fan and carbon filter you can get a 6 inch fan and filter for 200.

Good luck with the grow bro!

The tent and 400w system both work good, but that fan is just a booster fan for inside of a duct, you need an actual inline fan. Here's a link to a decent fan and filter for real cheap. I use several of these.

This is $120, so that'll put you at about $330 for the set-up. You'll need an oscillating fan in their as well, I think HTG has one for about $30, or you can figure out something cheaper. Have to have some air moving around in the tent though since the reflector is not air cooled.

I used to buy everything online. A lot safer than going to the hydro store imho. Nothing is without risk. I'd get the tent and random things off amazon, then do the rest of your shopping @ thehydrosource, plantlightinghydroponics etc. Be aware that the LEDWHOLERSALERS grow tents come in a LABELED BOX aka NOT DISCREET. I'd get a carbon filter and STANLEY/LASKO blower for cheap.

HTG supply is extremely expensive compared to the two I previously mentioned.

This is true about LEDWHOLESALERS, if you buy through Amazon you can select the option "this item is a gift" and it comes unmarked.

I'm not sure how a 4" blower and a 4" carbon filter combo for $120 at a retail store could be considered "extremely expensive", but ok lol. And yes, thehydrosource has great prices, I've gotten a bunch of random stuff from them on ebay.

The box says GYO whatever but it is still not exactly discreet. They also slapped an itemized shipping invoice on the OUTSIDE of the box that was torn open and for all to see. They know where most of their business comes from... pretty poor practice with the labeled box!

Compare plantlightinghydro to HTG prices item for item. If you are doing a purchase of good size you will be spending a good deal more money going through HTG. Plantlightinghydro is bottom dollar cheap. Not saying HTG isnt good for some items.

No, definitely. I just suggested HTG because they have a lot of retail stores in around the US now. I don't actually order from them online. And I've ordered from plantlightinghydro before too, I think for pots or something. They had good prices. Grener's has good prices on stuff too, but IMO they are a shitty company.
