whats the purpose of an active charcoal filter and exhaust fan? cant i just use a regular circulation fan?
exhaust fan is for taking out the old air and bringing in new air. your going to need an inline fan. and an active carbon filter fits on your inline fan and what the charcoal does is filter out the pungent smell of your dank. and about your light.. your going to need an air cooled hood for that hydro hut or else its going to get way to hot in there. i grow in a closet that has bigger dimensions then that tent and i didnt have anything cooling the light and it was hard to keep a steady temp.
i got this air cooled hood from htgsupply with a 400 watt ballast and it works great. you can find it bundled with a 400 watt ballast through ebay also

so that air cooled hood would replace the 4 sided horizontal reflector that comes with the 400w system? and im guessing the filter is optional.. depending how much stank i want.
i found this on their ebay page:

/\ is that the hood youre speaking of?
also, the inline fans just go in one of those pockets built into the side of the tent?
damn, they got the whole setup here for $500.. seems a bit pricey for all that extra junk and doesnt have the inline air coolable reflector. hmm

ya thats the air cooled hood i got. works pretty nice. about that package, i think i did the math on it and you are not saving that much money. its just a convienience. look up all those parts and your just saving a lil money and you cant pick or choose your nutes or anything. plus you prolly will still need to buy an expensive air cooled hood. you can try that batwing reflector but imo i think its going to get hot. when i had my hood with out a fan on it, it got to hot and my plant suffered from heat stress the first week...Quote:
