Nice small grow tent for autos, looking for lighting advice, temp control, etc

[IwannatokeNbone]

This tent is a nice size http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-Grow-Tent---Mother-Keeper-51.5-x-22.5-x-48.5---Silver-Lined.asp , the only problem is id like to run a 220 watt pl-l http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-HTG-Supply-2-Foot-4-Lamp-PL-55-Tek-Lamp.asp but its 2 inches to wide for the tent, i wasn thinking a few 150hps might work but im not sure about the heat with just this http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-6in-Inline-Duct-Fan.asp
im not sure if i would need two , both intake n outake fans in such a small tent? its a temp game and ive never had a tent before, the height of the thing is fine but its not even two feet wide, i know a 150hps would work but for light that is shitty imo,, thx for any shared wisdom guys..

Try the ahsupply kits?

They might fit.

Meh id rock the shit out of a 150w in that tent.

DIY cooltube it and save some moniez.

150 aint enough light, two of em would be.

I hate to say it but sounds like you'd be better off wiring your own and getting a reflector that will fit. I know a lot of people prefer pre-built but in this case DIY seems like the best option, plus you don't know what the ballast factor of that setup is so you could end up with less lumens then they claim.

Although, since its a tent and doesn't has rigid sides it seems like you could fit it anyway since it is only 2" wider. I don't have any experience tents like that so I don't know but worst case it seems like you'd just need some minor modification.

green i actually had that thought myself, its only 2 inches for the light, it would just puff out the sides of the tent a tad. im wondering if two 150hps lights with both a intake n outake would be possible.

I just purchased a 24" by 48" tent and a 400hps cooltube. I plan on loading that thing with an AF SOG similar to what mitch and SGS do. Still need to invest in square pots, an inline and ducting. I can't wait to see what a tent full of autos can do!

I don't think a 150hps would be enough light as others have said, but I run a 400hps cooltubed in a 24" x 24" tent. as far a fans go I prefer S&P myself powerful even through a carbonfilter and wisper quiet,

at least a 250 hps. I have a similar tent that is 36" wide 48" tall and 22" deep and i think the 250 is bit small. i would get a 400 watt hps if it was me.
