New set up/cooling help

Some guy had this grow tent and the 400w light fixture with hps light and mh light on cl for 120 i jumped on it. There are three screen vents at the bottom about 3" tall and 16" long. How the hell do I hook up that fan? I have a 4" and a 6" just temporary. Any suggestions?

if input to the fans is 115vac then get ya a old computer cord cut the end off. white to white black to black green to green. use wire nuts to secure the wires together. plug it in temp fix only

y do u have intake fans for tents?

you need fresh air circulating in the tent, and exhausting air out as well. you cant grow in stagnant noncirculating air. air circulating is also esential to keep pm/mold/mildew/bugs at bay. and wtf is rabbit season.

u were supposed to say duck season...................passive intake for tents youre doing it wrong
 
i dont have PASSIVE intakes!!! i run FANS dude!!!! fan on the intake 6" 250cfm and 8" 550 cfm exhaust. everything else is sealed up.
 
Thanks for the responses. What is a permanent fix for this fan? I might use it where I keep my clones. Any suggestions on the duct work to the fixture? Ill take a look at the cool tube but when I was lookin around it was 150 $

the hydro store has flanges for adding holes in your tent.......hole on each side pull the air straight thru ..... fan outside the tent
 
Do u guys think i can just put to exhaust fans in and be okay because of the three vents at the bottom.? Wouldn't it just pull the air from outside?
 
no ballast with it. and the power cord for the lamp is cut, but that's a easy fix and just use the ballast you have. but to use hook one side to ducting to the out side of tent for intake the other end to ducting out of tent to fan for exhaust. draws air in over bulb (cooling it) then out to fan for exhaust
 
Slowandsteady. That would work great my tent just has a couple issues. One the location of the holes in the tent, the size of the holes, and the space between my hood and the walls of the tent. There are two holes on the top and three at the bottom. These holes are actually about 5-5.5 inches wide and the hood needs a 6" duct... and I have a 6" fan. The space between my hood and the tent is about 4 inches.
