Grow Tent Ventilation techniques

[Grimnebulin]

Guys. I was looking at these grow tents that a few people have mentioned. I live in UK so if I started a grow soon it would be winter so If I was using CFL's it might not get so hot. I'd say room temp in winter could get low but I will have the central heating on so I don't think the plants will get too cold.

In this situation do you think I could get away with attaching a PC fan to the vent of the grow tent for ventilation and place a couple of oscilating fans in the tent?
Do you reckon this would work because the noise of a big inline fan and silver duct everywhere would arouse too much suspition.

I also read on a different place that you can put those lemon fresh kitchen wipes in front of your pc fan and it hides the odour of the plants.

Oh and I was thinking of growing about 2 - 3 plants and using maybe 8 45w lamps.

I would really appreciate it if you could share your low noise/odour setups with me.

You could use something like this. I use one and can't even hear it in my bedroom (my tent is in my bathroom). I have a couple of clip-on oscillating fans for air movement, that 6" for an exhaust near the top and a passive exhaust (just took off one of the velcro flaps during day cycle) near the bottom. It is an EXTREMELY quiet setup, very cheap, low on energy consumption. I have to say, for a tent as small as mine (3x3x5), working with CFL's for the first time.....this was a perfect setup for my small, personal-sized grow. Smell isn't an issue with me, so I don't have an anti-smell setup here. I have my own home and my neighbors are a quarter mile away haha. My whole house smells like dank 24/7! But the noise would annoy me, so I had to get a quiet setup. Hope this helps.

Cheers man. Do you know what those are called or where you can get them?

I edited my original post and added a couple amazon links. They'e just called a duct fan, if you have a hardware store locally you can get them there. But my Home Depot was charging 50 bucks for that and I got it off Amazon for 25.
