Love to help you, but I can't understand your post. Ballast should absolutely be outside of the tent.
Tent will suck towards the inside. That's a good thing. Mine does too.
Punctuation makes posts easier to read. Not ripping on you, just makes certain posts easier to be read by most people. This forum is pretty great about letting it slide, but I have a hard time reading it.
Photos would help. I doubt your droopy leaves are caused by your fans. Check into over-watering.
With a carbon filter INSIDE the tent, you want negative pressure so your filter is working...inside air is going through the filter... which your tent is doing.
In other words, it's working fine.

cheers caddie for that,im new to the growing scene.ive got the ballast in the tent at minute,think i best take it out then.i think the leave problem is ok now m8.ive got my light(400w) about 1foot from plant top is this ok caddie.also pal the temp in tent is around 78 to 80 degrees wi light on,then around 63 to 66 with the light off,is the temp ok at that or do i need to try an change the temp.cheers 4 the patience lol
high,
I grow in a tent also and leave my ballast outside. Why deal with any "extra" temperature issues. I have a vented light hood that is in the suck path to the attic. first the carbon sock duct to the light, duct to the vent opening on the tent, to the fan mounted on top of the tent, to a y splitter with a damper. I can recycle the heat in the winter, and flip the damper in the summer to put it out the roof. Venting to the area around the tent will make the fan run a bit more to maintain. I keep a small computer fan inside the light always maintaining a negative pressure until the big guy comes on at 81f.
good luck
