Hello and thanks in advance for your response.

Ok, im going to be running a aeroponic sog perpetual harvest set up, IE skunkbudies set up. So I will have 2 1000w air cooled hps lights for veg, what size tent would I need? I think I could fit the aero system in a 6x6 MAYBE, but wouldn't that be impossible to keep cool?

I hate to say it but that is some over kill. 1 1000 should be able to do an 8x8 area of plants. 2 I think it bumps it up to a 12x12. The heat would be 3410 BTU's. To heat a room 6x6x6 to 72 deg will take 672 BTU's when it is 35 deg outside. I would look into an A/C unit. Or 1 cool tube 1k with a 430 cfm fan.

So the guy at the local hydro store swears I can get away with a 6x6 tent with an 8 inch fan cooling the lights, and good ventilation, I really dont know what to do at this point
