Venting a 2x4x5?

@PJ Diaz Yeah, you are right. I should have thought about the fact that I was growing a desirable plant and maybe not let him come to my home but like you said what is done is done.

Update: The 2x4x5 tent arrived yesterday so we put it together and picked up the remaining stuff; ducting, two 6" in line duct fans, light hangers, 5gal pots, and of course THE CLONES! We drove out to Harborside and picked up: Deadhead OG, God's Gift, Sour Flower, and Blue Diesel. I have taken a few pictures of the setup but I will be posting them later tonight and this is a quick update. I'll also post the list of items I purchased in case another rookie grower stumbles across this in a few years and wants to start a small, decently priced setup. Thanks for all who are still reading!

So here is the update as promised. I apologize if it's a few days late as I have been very busy.

What I have used is:
2x4x5 (ft) mylar lined grow tent
600w Air-Cooled Hood
600w Digital Ballast
600w MH Bulb (veg)
600w HPS Bulb (flower)
435CFM in line fan to pull hot air from top of tent
435CFM in line fan to push air through the air cooled hood
A small house fan to circulate air inside

With that being said here is my setup:

Here are my Clones:
(From left to right: Blue Diesel, Sour Flower, Deadhead OG, and God's Gift)

All clones are looking great after being in the soil for 4 days but right after transplanting Deadhead OG into the soil on Wednesday morning she looked like this:

After watering here again and spraying here leaves every few hours for the past few days she looks like she is beginning to take and root. She is getting new growth on her (soon to be?) top cola.
Here is an up to date picture taken 15 minutes ago:

I just wanted to thank everybody who gave any sort of advice or input. It helped me greatly and I successfully set up my first grow tent thanks to ya'll!
Thinkin about starting a journal just don't know if I have the time =/

Peace!

I will be receiving my MarsHydro Reflector 144 sometime this week and I couldn't be more happy with the choice I've made. I plan on using this light to flower/veg in a 2x4x5 tent. My ceilings aren't very tall as to why I went with a 5 footer. My biggest concern is what I should do about exhaust/ventilation? There are passive air flaps on the bottom of the tent, two 6 inch ventilation holes on the sides of the tent, and one 8 inch ventilation hole on the top of the tent.
Will I have room to install a 6 inch carbon filter/fan combo along with the Reflector inside of the tent? Do you recommend keeping the fan outside of the tent and the filter inside to save space?
Thank you all for any help, I'm hoping at least a few of you can guide me in the right direction?
