You should have a good fan. I would suggest a Hydrofarm 265 active air fan. It should be hung inside the tent,blowing out with one of your flaps at the bottom open. That will be your passive intake for fresh air as the fan exhausts. You will need a thermostat with a piggyback plug to turn your fan on and off as the temps. rise and lower. Don't use a timer with your fan!

Would i need to use a carbon filter and air intake if im vegging using pl-l 55w bulbs?

You could put a carbon filter in the tent.. That would be all you would need. Use it along with a passive intake. Hang the fan and filter inside the tent and exhaust out.:thumbsup:

will this do the job in my grow tent i have to order it from the uk. im using pl-l bulbs to veg and flower but if i do use my 250 hps will this do RUCK Fan & Rhino Pro Filter
With Acoustic Ducting - 5 inch
(365m3)....if using this to remove stail air and the odour ill just need an intake fan yes which will be placed in the 5" vent at the bottom....sorry for so many questions i dont want to mess up.

You won't need an intake fan.. When the fan with the filter is on it will pull air in from your passive vent.. Sorry it took so long to see this.. It kinda slipped onto another page and I missed it.:thumbsup:

You could always get a bigger fan and a speed controller.. so if you ever want to get a larger tent, light or just need more air flow you will not have to shed more cash for a fan, just dial in what you need and with a tent the size of an 80 you could dial your fan down and cut down of sound alot. just a thought.
