I think I got the same tent as y'all. It's 4x2 and 5 high. I have two leds and my exhaust and scrubber hanging from the ceiling. I did cut a piece of board to lay across two of the main upper beams for extra support. Without it, it was sagging bad and was afraid of it breaking.

The exhaust fan I use is the 4" combo from H T G. With a speed controller turned all the way down. My sides are sucking in, and not much heat, so I'm guessing it's good ventilation.

Oh, and be careful zipping it shut, jus' sayin'.
 
gnome thank you so much. you da man. you da man homey. exactly what i was looking for and way cheaper then the only other place i could find that had one with a wall plug. even with the speed control and shipping it is ten dollars cheaper. seriously thank you. +rep for the legit as hell referral
 
midnight toker have you decided what kind of exhause fan you are going to use. the new tent that i ordered is the same size as yours.
I got the lower powered 6 inch carbon scrubber that Gotham has which sounds like it is almost double the efficiency for that size space. Hope that's good and not bad, lol.
 
cant go wrong with too much fresh airflow. thanks for the info buddy. as long as the sides arent callapsing in you should be set
 
I've got a couple of tents first one is 120x80x180cm Hydrolab Pro model the light socks etc and intake, extraction, air cooled reflector and cable ports are great but the tent does leak light from pretty much all the zips and stitched area's. Good thing i keep it in a room with no windows.

I have a 1mx1mx1.8 budbox that is great much better than the hydrolab good light seal good quality tent only downside is the tabs on the zips come off pretty easily nothing string or paper clips can't solve. This is my favorite tent of my collection although i don't use it at the mo.

Lastly i just got a Budda Tent off ebay uk and its ok the cable/extraction socks are not great no drawstrings like the more expensive tent and no velcro on the passive vent so they tend to leak light also i few minor light leaks on the stitching.

Out of the three i would recommend the budbox as the light seal is great and they have a good amount of size options, the hydrolab has more size option but the light seal isn't the best and the budda you get what you pay for its cheap and functional it will get replaced with a budbox when its had enough use.
Hope that helps
 
Im using a 3' x 1.75' x 5' Gromedics.. it has nice and sturdy zippers and dont leak from any of the seams... wish it had somewhere to hang thermometer! but i got it for 52$ off off ebay so cant complain to much:smoke:
 
I have a 4'x4' Lighthouse tent.... Was $100... 4" and 6" vents... metal frame... no light leaks... also has 2 pouches built into the sides that I like.

i have this tent, picked it up localy from the hydro shop, i really wanted to go with the secret jardin 4x8 but cost was a issue so i settled for this, the 4x8 is around 400$ and i picked the lighthouse up for 100$ new

light proof - yes and no, lightproof enough for autos, no light can be seen from the inside but light is shown from the outside on the lower zipper, i also had to tape a couple pin holes
equipment - it holds my light and fan, didnt hang my carbon filter from it since the filter is like 40lb,i dont think it would hold all of that, would probably have to put a 2x4 on top to help stabalize
neg pressure - the sides suck in but i only have 1 intake i use direct to a/c, there are flaps i can raise to get more air in

overall great starter tent, i really need that extra 4ft though, and another 600w :D
:peace:ts

i got a secret jardin dr100, its 1m x 1m x 2m, it has five 6 inch ducts ( 2 at the bottom and 2 at the top and 1 on the roof) and a cable sock, all with double draw strings for extra light proofing.
also it has 3 passive intakes with mesh and velcro, 1 main door and 2 side doors for easy access to plants, removable mylar floor tray, very heavy duty zips all round, metal frame and 2 x 30kg bars for hanging lights, filter etc.
99.9% light proof (a few tiny pin holes)

so to sum up its a very sturdy high quality tent which i recommend

im not sure what the normal retail price cos i got mine from a friend for £80 ($140) because he wanted the 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m version :booya:

:peace: pipez
