Opinions on 600 watt light setup!

First thread. First grow. Thousandth idea, but this one I could not find upon researching. Just looking for opinions. Think its good or should I change? If so, how?

Thanks for any input, even if to an already started, similar thread I could not find.

You should suck air through the carbon filter and blow the air though the lights to cool them off. I would suggest using a can fan instead of the inline fan. You don't need that other filter either. Also why not just have the lights side by side it would b e more efficient. This what I would do except the can fan would be attached to the carbon filter.

Sorry couldn't get the pic to post on here but here is link that should help you. The only thing I would do different than the pic in this article is I would hook the can fan on the carbon filter an dblow the air though both lights and out of the room. http://www.bghydro.com/bgh/static/articles/0706_vent2.asp

Also what is the filter for if the fan and ducting is to cool the lights?
I would use 1 fan to cool both lights and the other with the filter to cool the tent

I'm still constructing my room ventilation setup, also with a 6" inline blower and a carbon filter. The previous post is correct that the carbon filter should be on the opposite end of your diagram (suck instead of blow). I would also keep your light cooling system separate from your temp/filter exhaust system, but this might depend on how much space you have for your grow. I have a 10x10 room, which gives me plenty of room for air circulation and an exhaust system, but a small grow tent might be a different story. How much space do you have to work with?

I had read somewhere that putting a filter on the fan sucking air in would help to keep bugs and mold spores thing like that out. I will also do the side by side thing with the lights. Just a newb to the whole growing scene. Thanks both of your inputs greatly appriciated!

I'm getting a 10 x 5 tent. I was just worried about the light ventalation i was also going to have actual tent ventalation. And it's a newb question but I thought the carbon filter was to keep smell down? Thanks for you input!

Just putting this out there..Have not actually bought anything yet. I plan to spend roughly 2 grand building my system but I'm doing all research before I buy and putting all plans on paper to make sure it's exactly how I want it/how it should be done.

You can probably do your setup for way less than $2000. I would start out with a cheaper setup and see what you can do. Just because you throw a ass load of cash at a setup does not mean you are going to see massive production. Start out simple and when you get more experience at growing you will have a better understanding for what you need and don't need.

I would run 2 fans, one for the lights and one for the filter. Keeps my 4x8 well ventilated. It is a fuckton of work, couldn't handle a 2kw 5x10 by myself, thats for sure.
