Why two fans? Plus I wouldn’t have the fans hooked directly to the hoods I’d run ducting between them.

Where’s the space your going to grow in that would make it easier to help you as well.
Hi and thanks it’s a tent but I haven’t set it up yet and the reason I’m not running ducting is because the tent is only 2.4 meters long and the lights/fans come to 2.3 meters also I thought two fans would be better than one i live in a hot area

Unless you draw air from outside your tent the vaccume pressure will prob collapse your tent. 1 fans is enough use some fexable ductwork and blow air threw the hoods. No proof just opinion here but pushing air threw your hoods instead of pulling hot air will increase your fans life.
What watt lights are you running in those hoods? Even air cool you are gonna need ac.

I would use one exhaust fan. Place it on one end of the light fixture and a carbon filter on the other end. cutting it down 2 two light fixures and making room for a muffler would be nice...
