hey guys,

bout to set up my 5x5x84 inch tent, im thinking either a 1000W MH for veg and 1000W HPS for flower or because of
almost definite heat problems associated with that going into summer maybe
2x 600W MH for veg and 2 x 600W HPS, so im trying to figure out which size Carbon filter would be most effecient
as i dont wanna go to big and spend to much money. also what is a good fan size/strength to connect to C/f for
a nice silent Odor and heat control system id like to spend under 250 for the both if possible.

any help appreciated. thanks.
 
for that size tent u can prolly pull off just one 600 watt HID ... but a 1000 watter would be ideal for that much space with a 6 inch inline fan that pushes (424 cfm) ... of course would have to get a cool tube for your light and also a carbon filter (6 inch)

thanks for the input bro,
well the kit comes with a air cooled hood but it has a cooled tube version, which is better you think hood or tube? im really tryna stay away from 1000W cuz summer coming up and im already gonna have to buy a couple ACs for the house and gonna drop like 1000-1200 on my tent/setup. so maybe 2 600WMH for veg and 2 600HPS flower cuz i wanna do 10-14 pllants and eventually more.
