Whats up guys let me start out by saying ive been here for awhile, im just long time reader but I only have 3 grows under my belt. Now that thats out of the way lets get to the point, im working on a new setup and im about to drop a grand on it. I already own a 4x4 apollo horticulture tent and a 150watt t8 for vegging and im not planning on a new tent soon. My ambient temps are around 70s to 80s in the winter and 70s to mid 90s around summer time my question is would this setup be able to keep my tent well ventilated? Im using this setup for flowering only and ill be using the t8 to veg my mother and clones. (Keep the criticism to yourself please, i know a 600 watt is fine but i also know it doesnt produce enough lumens per sq foot)

Setup:
Blockbuster 6" reflector 191.42 free shipping
1000 watt hortilux bulb 56.48 prime
Solis tek 1000 watt ballast 237.98 prime
Vortex Powerfans VTX600 Vortex 449 CFM Powerfan, 6" 159.00 free shipping
Active Air ACSC Duct Fan Speed Adjuster 19.40 prime
Phresh 6x24 Filter (550 cfm) 145.55 prime
Total 809.83

237 bucks for a ballast ? I pay like 140 for nanolux

. 200 for a hood is sort of a hose too. Should be a nice setup though

Solis Tek are great ballasts keep it, Galaxy bought them out.
Nanolux is one of the worse out there and that's why they are cheap. Galaxy bought out Solis Tek for a reason. They are top of the line when it comes to digital ballasts. Everything else you bout is about normal retail.

Perfect thats exactly what i plan on doing my buddies been scrogging for a while and said he'll help as im just use to lst'ing and topping but my main concern is just heat and ventilation would one fan like that be enough to keep it ventilated correctly

I've never done tents but a 1000 in a 4x4 I think you'll roast those girls. Give it a shot you can stay 80-86 degrees with Co2. Without co a happy 75 AC is worth the investment
