Hey RIU. I am planning on purchasing my first mylar grow tent off of amazon. Currently im growing in a stand up closet that is 31"x19"x56" which only fits my one plant.

Im planning on getting a 4'x2x5'. I do NOT plan on using HID lights (metal halide or high pressure sodiums) in the near future.
Only my same cfl setup but obviously more wattage for that tent.

My questions:

1) Will i need air duct inline fans? Or will a good size fan inside the tent be okay temperature wise?
2) How much wattage would be suitable for that size tent? (For 1-2 plants)

Any other info I will need to know is appreciated!

the fans need to do a couple things- be able to pull in cool fresh air from outside the tent, move the stems and stalks to strengthen them, and exhaust needs to be stronger pulled old air out faster than the air coming in, when its zipped up, the tent should be sucked in NOT blown out!!!!!!! as fan as heat, youll have to try and see how to set it up, youll know where you need to be wit the temp once you set it all up!!!!!cfls are a lot cooler but still produce heat!!!!!!
