Wadup growers,

Ok I'm a 1st time grower that's starting a small 1 - 3 plant setup as i have to keep it on the d/l
I have got a few things as far with are:

1x 1.2mx1.2mx2.0m grow tent
2 x Plant Yo-Yo
2 x Grow Yo-Yo
2 x Heavy Duty Hanger
1 x 600W HPS Lamp
1 x 600W MH Retro Lamp
1 x 600W Digital HPS/MH Ballast
1 x 390mm x 540mm Aluminum Reflector

What cooling system can you growers recommend?
Are to small fans enough plus a carbon vent system?
Any help would be great.
Cheers

Am I going to have massive heat problems with the alUminum reflector?

You don't need all those lamps. Save some $$ and go start to finish with the HPS. Plus that is a big light for the small tent. You could go with a 400w and reduce the heat issues which you will face. You can figure out the fan sizing by doing some simple math. See my sig for a link that will help.
