Am tent shopping For a secret jardin DR300W Grow tent. Dimensions are roughly 5x10. I'd like to run 2000w air cooled with an 8" vortex fan in my basement which generally runs in the 60's all summer. Will the fan be able to keep the temps in check with ambient temps in the 60's? Thanks
IMO, yes, an 8" good quality fan is enough for 2 1000w air cooled lights in a tent.

. either the seceret jardin or gorillaz up to OP which you want to purchase. these two seem like the best two on the market.

Sorry dont mean to step on toes or piss anyone off. Ive got a 4x8 sunhut and a 4x4. They both been good to me the 4x8 has some zipper issues on the huge door in one spot but ive moved them countless times.
They sit in my garage in a corner now.
Humidity control can be a real pain with a tent because of the ambient temps and the fabric being thinner. You tend to get lots of condensation an I live in the friggin desert.
Make a small 1x1 wood frameframe some reflecrive foam use reflecrive tape on the insides. 0 light leaks much better insulation an no condensation on the walls.
Its super easy to work with too.
If you think you would like to try id be more than happy to help with any tricks ive learned using it.

What's the significant differences between the 2.0 and 2.5 versions of SJ tents? I just bought a 2.0 on purpose because the 2.5 tents come with plastic connectors for the cross bars on top where you hang stuff from versus the 2.0 tents have 1 solid piece of metal for the cross bars.
I can't edit my post above.
I just wanted to add to the discussion and throw in my 2 cents.
I've been running a 400w CMH in a DR60 2.0 model from Secret Jardin for over a year, I haven't had any issues with it - solid tent. There are light leaks but they are pin hole size and what I've done is line all the seams with black duck tape on the outside - no problem. I use a 6" inline fan that really sucks the sides of the tent in so there's a lot of negative pressure inside the tent and it hasn't ripped or torn at any seams and the zipper is still working fine. You could also add a strip of duck tape to the inside where the zipper is, if you wanted to ensure zero light leaks from the zipper area.
