1.2 tent over heat & carbon filter times?

hello there guys, got a small 1.2 x 1.2 x 2 meter tent in a spare room. Currently running 250w CFL light no problems, however I wanna up it too 400 then 600 but the 400 takes it to around 40c and the 600w to 50c plus!

I ordered a 5inch cool tube with 5inch fan would this do the job for both ?

Also how long and when should I run my carbon filter ?


Loving this site and thanks in advance to everyone who helps!!

Five inch would take care of four hundred watt but I'd go bigger for the six. As for when and how long I'd exhaust from the start use the filter when things get stankythat's my.02$

No matter what size fan you have, that tent will only get as cold as your ambient room temp its in.

Are you drawing air from outside, is it hot outside, if so, your tent will be hot..................few more thing to think about than just forcing warm air into your tent.

For me, a carbon filter runs 24/7, as your plants smell 24/7

I dont use my carbon filter til late veg.
