Does anybody think I will come into serious temp problems by using a 400w hps cooltube in a DR60 secret jardin grow tent?
Dimensions are 60 x 60 x 140cm.

There will be active intake and extraction fans, which leads me to my next question, would two, 4 inch RUCK fans 230 3 m per hour, be sufficient to deal with the heat? And to a lesser extent, there will be two 6 inch fans in the tent aswell.

Any advice, comment, word would be deeply appreciated man! easy :bigjoint:

YA that sounds like the temps wont get too high, it also depends on the temp it is outside of the tent.

If the ambient air that is getting forced into the tent as fresh air is like 60 - 65 degrees you'll prob be alright. Otherwise, you might need to install a portable a/c unit to the back of the tent like I did. My temps run too high without it.

And I would also suggest maybe looking into another model, one with 7" ports to accomodate 6" ducting. The one you're looking at only supports 4" ducting, and let me tell ya you NEED 6" ducting, whether you go with the a/c unit or not. ESPECIALLY if not!

Ahhh! Ok, good advice. There are many things for me to consider there.
I was more or less given the equipment by a pal whose moved country, and didnt think it wise to take it with him, so im just trying to make use of what ive got without spending too much on upgrades.

Thanks for the reply beard! Some handy info there.
