I just ordered my 2x600w HPS and my inline fan, but Im still lacking a very crucial piece of the puzzle......Where do you guys go tent shopping? I have about $4-$500 Canadian to blow. PREFERABLY A CANADIAN COMPANY.
 
I found that one can easly be made from a card table, mylar and, a black sheet. You can add lenths of pvc to the legs of the card table to make it taller. Its a cheap way to go without ordering anything.

I would get a 4x8 and even with 2 600's your going to need at least a 6in fan to keep them cool.

5x10 is to big, you would be having a ton of wasted space like a foot all the way around.... personally if you can get by without using a tent your much better off.

I ran tents for awhile and they are more trouble, headaches, and expenses getting dialed in then they where worth.... at least that is how I feel now about them.

4x8 is also preferable for the lumber dimensions aspect.

I like them because im able to run 2 4x4s on a flip, a mom tent, and a small clone tent all within a 11x9 room. Never had a problem with light leaks or hermies.

I use virtual sun tents for bloom and moms, there not as nice as my secret jardins tent but well worth the money.

I am not planning for the whole thing to be full. The dimensions of the trays are 4x8 so Id like a little extra space. I need room for walking around to maintain the plants and I have one 6" inline fan and a carbon filter. I am running air cooled hoods.

I built one from 2x4s, 1/2 foam panels, and an elastomeric coating for roofing. It was far cheaper and stronger than a tent. If you have a few tools, check YouTube for help building one. You can build it whatever size makes you happy. I would recommend making it larger as well. You need space to work, ac, heater, fans, co2?, and ventilation
