Should I be able to get more than one plant in this 60x48x24 tent?

Ok, almost done. I've got the 150w HPS removed and a 150w 6500k CFL in it's place. I replaced the big filter/fan with the smaller one and turned it sideways. I will use the bigger one to just filter the room air.

BTW, anyone guess how big that pot is? I've got no idea. I was able to get it free.

I'm guessing if I can LST one Massassin (supposedly big yielders per the breeder - with ideal conditions) with that amount of light in an area that size, I could get a good result. I've got a plastic grid I could even use to help separate them.

Photo to come.

I meant use the hps and cfl together. The cfl will be good to start the plant.

Just mount your filter at the top like I did. You can keep the fan on the outside of the tent. Don't use the second fan on the tent. In the room if need be.

You should be ready to rock.

Ok, new pic. As mentioned, small fan/filter combo moved to the top left & mounted sideways. Large fan/filter combo moved outside the tent. The large filter wouldn't fit sideways, so it had to go. I turned on the fan and CFL and placed a temp gauge pretty close to it for an hour and came back and it was 82. I'm thinking this will be just fine.

I'm not sure how to get the HPS and the CFL in at the same time, BUT I do have a socket for it with no wing. I could just hang it vertically somewhere I suppose.

Thoughts? (Oh, ignore all the stuff at the bottom, it was just sitting in the tent when I took the pic)

Yep, just the two passive vents at the bottom. I can seal the larger one off to adjust the pressure if necessary, but both are open. There is no air being forced into the tent.

I actually used the draw string opening at the bottom with just a short piece of duct and an intake vent and one flap open So you can get more flow if you have too.

Thanks for all the help/examples, Uber. Are you thinking I'm not going to get enough air in the tent, or just giving me some ideas? And is any air being forced in you tent, or is it just held open with that duct inside? It didn't seem to get too hot after an hour (82 degrees).

Just Idea's in case you need any options.

I changed things up a bit to utilize 100% of what's available to me (supplies I've got on hand). I'm going to go with (1) 150w 6500k CFL, (1) 150w 5000k CFL, and (1) 150w HPS. Also, I think I can add two buckets to the tent, so I'm going to try it. I've never done any type of SoG or similar, so I think that might be the best use of this space & light combo. They are auto's, so I don't know how they react to SoG, so I hope I do it correctly. Wish me luck.
