Do you need the tent? If not get rid of the crap, people buy useless junk when it's just hurting your entire operation!

passing from 50W/sqf to 75W/sqf shouldn't be a problem as long you have a good air exhaust (vortex or else)

I'm running a 2 x 6 x 5 tent with a 400w and 600w cooltube with no problems with temps. 4" Fan pulling it all through filter and tubes.
Tents are a piece of crap? I think not.

Tell me the benefits of a tent vs using a room, I would only see downsides, unless of course your trying to hide it.

Haha! I'd rather have a room than a tent ryan1918, don't get me wrong.
But tents are great if you have to give up some bedroom for a grow, especially for blackout...

i got two tents, a 3x3x6 and a 6x6x6. the best thing ive found about them, and the only single reason a bought either of them is because i rent and i tend to move around alot. fuk setting up a dedicated room, inlets, outlets, hooks, and then having to fix/patch it all up when i move. the tent has all shit and the tent is already good to go in 30min from flat. if i owned my home, then yep, no questions asked, it'd be a dedicated room but unfortunately i dont

you can build your own tent for a fraction of the price all you need is 2x3's and panda film ( black and white polly ) thats what I did. jorge cervantes builds one on one of his grow films you can watch it right on youtube. sure tents are convinient and take no thought but there way over priced you can build an 8x8 room for less than $100 bucks jorge's way. while at htgsupply.com it costs $499.95 for a 10x10 grow tent alone then you need to buy all your equipment. sure if you have no skills and plenty of money a tent is the way to go but its just so simple and cheap to build your own why spend hundreds of dollars.

Not everybody has the luxury of having an entire room for growing. Take that into consideration next time you want to give "advice".

Would a 5" cool tube keep temps down on a 600 in a 4x4ft tent

tents are great cause you can have many stations in the same room

Yup, that'll do the job, depending on the temps of the room it's in (If your room's 84degrees then that's the lowest your tent can get, without air conditioning)

I have a 400w 5" cool tube and another 600w both in 2 x 6 x 6ft tent with one fan for them and a filter, although this is probably pushing it, but temps are great.
