Noob Grow Tent Air Flow Question - 4x4 tent w/air cooled reflector

[001bozak]

Hi all. I got a secret jardin 4x4x7 - a lumatek digi ballast, and a radiant 6" air cooled reflector so far. but this air flow thing got me stumped - i know if i just had a non cooled light i would run air in and air out, no problems

i guess the question is how does the air cooled reflector tie into the overall air system of the tent?

You can either attach a fan that will suck air through the reflector and out of the tent, or attach a fan that will pull air from outside the tent, through the light back outside the tent.

so i run the air in to the reflector, than out through the tent?

You pull air through the reflector and then out of the tent. Constantly pulling the heat from the bulb out of your grow space.

ok. i think i got it. run the intake to the light and the outtake through a seperate fan. doesnt have to be attached to the hood
