The fan is a 200 CFM inline duct fan Model Tubo-U 150 made by Blauberg. See the first picture.
The light is a 400w Metal Halide.
The tent is 3'x5'x7'.
No scrubber or filter.
For purposes of this test, I simply duct taped the fan to the light. No chains, no hanging, no ducts. Bingo. Done in 2 seconds. If I choose to go this way, I'll probably insulate it from the light, somehow.
The fan draws in the air from the tent, blows it past the light and through a 5 or 6' flex duct and out of the top tent opening.
You'll notice that I have filter material rolled up and stuck into the input openings. This makes them light proof. I am hoping it lets in enough air.
I set a remote for my temp/humidity sensor right on the pot where the plants will be.
The temp was 65F when I turned on the light. It is all zipped up and sealed and the temp went up to about 75F and is holding there.
I'll report back in a couple hours on the temperature.
