I have a growlab GLR-80 its about 2.5 x 2.5 x 7 feet
This picture includes 3 bag seed plants at week 10 of flower (they spent most of veg in a pc grow box)
Yield Mast II Supreme with glass (I added foil tape to all the seams because I suspected the rubber seal had a paper thin gap)
Hortilux Super HPS 400w
Lumatek 400w digital ballast (it rests on a chunk of wood with the fan on the floor blowing over it and also towards the air intake for the reflector)
Some superoots air pots (just got)
120 pound light hanger rope system (chains are there with a little slack in case the ropes fail, unlikely since they have a high weight rating)
analog thermometer with humidity gauge, the other thing hanging is a on sale for $7 wireless outdoor temp monitor (the remote reader also records max and min temps every day)
the filter is from the ebay store run by Foothill Filters (

behind the pots on the top of the tent is a regular 120mm pc fan to pull cool air out of the light hood (powered by an old computer between the tent and the wall (also the timer outlet power strip rests on top of that computer))
2 15$ adjustable 2 speed (pretty quiet) clip on fans
uhh I think that is about it
if anyone can recommend a way to improve this set up that would be great! I realize I should buy one of those like 10$ things to run the pc fan instead of an entire old computer, I think I probably will in a couple weeks. And I might also move on to a more popular can fan filter combo because it seems this filter only catches 90-95% of the smell for some reason. If any of you can recommend a great can fan filter combo that is relatively cheap and quiet (I think the one I have now is like 45-50 dcb? whatever they measure fan noise by) and guaranteed to get all the smell. Right now I keep a little jar of ona block I got with my pc grow case (that these plants spent most of veg in) next to my open window during light hours.
Questions:
Would it be better to rest the filter on the floor and have it blow out the side of the tent using one of the ports?
PS: The books are Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow, my highschool graduating yearbook, and I think a copy of Left Behind that I've never read (thought the premise of the series was interesting but never read any of the books)
The box is for my gaming computer's psu, and that piece of black paper at the bottom under the one pot I put there because I'm just a little paranoid of the light bouncing off the reflective bottom and shooting up into the pot and hurting the roots (also to catch any drips of water even though that bottom of the tent is removable for the sake of keeping the rest of the tent clean)
