New grow tent

What ya think of my progress all I need is to do the ventilation. Any suggestions all I have is a 6" inline fan for now will that be sufficient enough with the clip on fan it's in my spare bedroom. Haven't turned on light yet but it's 71° with 43% humidity without it. I have a oscillating fan outside the tent in room should I put it inside tent. Room also has a ceiling fan.

looks good....but I would recommend that you do not touch the bulbs with your bare fingers, as we have natural oils on our skin that will reduce the life of the bulb

When you can afford it, I'd definitely be looking into a carbon filter and a cool tube. Floralux makes a nice enclosed light/ballast combo ( 400W ). My friend has one and she loves hers. Your tent temps will run about 10 degrees higher than your room temps.

that should be enough ventilation for that size tent.
Do you have any port holes in the top of the tent?
If so you can get some small fans,Walmart has these small 4 inch fans,they work pretty good,and just mount those in the top for air out.
Mount the inline fan on the side of the tent if there's a port hole for intake and blow the old air out the top with the small fans.
that's all I have in my tent set up and it works really good.

You can get good ventilation at a very affordable cost without all that carbon filter crap unless you need to filter the odor then I would say get one but other then that just make sure you have intake air and and a way to expell the old air.

Oh really I didn't know that about the bulbs that's only time I touched it so I will make sure I don't do that again. And yes I have port holes on top, two of them and one on each side. I think I have five or six total port holes.
