grow tent 2x3x5 cooling and odor

Hey guys so this is my first grow tent grow.
i have another grow in a shower thats still goin on but only with one plant.
im looking to buy this tent from htgsupply its the small one. ill post up a link if anyone wants.and i plan on growing papaya seeds that i ordered about a week ago from nirvana.

basically i wanna know if i could use one of these 25 $ inline fans heres the link for that http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=46447 with a carbon filter from that site and would that work or no?

and could i usse ona gel would that work instead of the filter or over it?

like i said ive grown in the past but im trying to keeo this as stalth as possible because my wife cant find it and she goes around the room im keeping it in alot. its gonna be in the basement in the room next to the washer-dryer.

oh yeah i allmost forgot i have a 400 watter hps-mh so will it be cool enough. i could all ways throw some ice in there.

thanks ahead of time guys and sorry about the jamble of questions and such throughout the post im still feelin it from yesterday :-o

how was everyone elses 420?
 
yeah im pretty sure i can tell the difference between my wife and mom...

ok thanks how about this fan filter combo they have? would this one be able to cool it be itself?
 
it's going to be hott!! I think you'll need a higher cfm at least to cool and make sure there's no smell...actually I just got the tent you're referring to I think... 20"x36"x64" from them ...I've got a 400 hps with a 210cfm vortex inline fan that can circulate the air but does nothing to effectively kill smell through my little DIY carbon filter....I was thinkin the same thing as you, even bought the Bit@# ass fan for 30 bucks, now I use the small fan to pull through the end of my cooltube that goes to the venting (top o the tent) where my small DIY filter is and the fan attaches on top to pull air through the filter....temps are getting toward mid 80's with the filter on...with filter off it stays 75-78...maybe you could just set it up better but I've been lookin for another fan (thinkin about stanely mod when I found this post) so I can cool that ish and kill smell with a filter...I'm lookin' forward to see what we hear...

On another note, I think I like this tent. Only downside is I wish there was another intake vent..(only 1 on bottom, 2 exhausts)

I have that same tent with a 4' T5 HO 4 bulb and its harder to keep under 80 degrees than my 4x4x7 with a 400 HPS. I really think that tent is too small for a 400 watt HID, its almost too small for T5's

that will not cool your tent and only has 5 lbs of carbon in it. it is only 60 more to get something that will actually work.
 
i guess so. what one do you think i should get. give me a link to the site also please. thanks! jst got somee papaya seeds from nirvana in a yellow wallet haha gotta love it.

The size fan u need depends on your light and environment control. I have led cobs and I have a 2x4 and I have a 4 inch 195 cfm inline fan and my tent stays 4 degrees warmer than the room its in.
