I run 2 4x4 tents one veg one flowering. veg tent is just a sunblaze 44 (4ft 4 bulb)t5 and a regular household ossolating fan. Flowering is 600w cooltube, 4" inline fan(192cfm) and filter, 2 6 inch clip on fans at canopy height and a dayton 240cfm axial fan about 6 inches off the floor. Passive intake with a filter I made from a furnace filter. Works grwat for me. Others say a 4inch inline wont cool a 600w but mine is doing the job well. I bought my tents, hps light, and inline fan from virtual sun hydroponics check them out great prices and free shipping on orders $25 and up. Id def go with a hps and would look in to a centerfugal (miss spelled im sure lol) fan and not those duct booster fans. Pot size depends on how tall you want to grow them. My biggest issue is heat from a dehumidifier in the room I think a portable ac unit will be needed for me in the summer. Hope this helps

One plant scrog or multiple? Where r u putting ur tent n how much room do u have? U have to figure that shit out before asking for advice on what u need. But, by what ur looking @ to buy, u prolly only need a 2x2x5 tent. 1 to 4-3gal pots, 4" inline centrifugal fan n filter and possibly a speed controller, along with small oscillating fans for circulation inside.. If u wanna use t5 id go with atleast a 2' 6 or 8 bulb fixture. HID lighting is much better tho (IMO), 250w will work in that small of an area. It costs more upfront but will save u in the long run, more bang for ur buck(also my opinion). Hope this helps.. good luck bro
