it works best if the intake / exhaust are on opposing sides. you can't always get everything in the exact spot you want tho. i've never had a tent, but all the rooms i built are pretty much the same as the diagram.

For the wattaeg problem, we admit we didn't revise the website data in time. In fact our factory have some upgradtion on the lights during 2018, on both Mars II, Reflector, and Mars Pro II, all the chips are now using the new SMD chips.
At the beginning , only Mars Pro II uses this technology, and at that time, technology is not that advanced. So the wattage is made high and cannot save more energy. But now if we can make the light the same light output, while less wattage used, why not? Below is the test report for the Mars Pro II 320 during 2015 and 2018; You can see the wattage is around 100w difference. But the lumen output is higher for the one of 2018. So light efficiency for the light now is higher. We will confirm with the tech department of the current ones and revise our data on website accordingly. Peace!

Yes I agree. That sketch is a great starting point for any grow space design. Thanks for posting it

That’s how my room is set upthis will give you an idea of the standard set up for a grow tent or stand alone room.
intake at the bottom for colder fresh air. exhaust at top for warm air and odor control. keep the filter at the top of the tent / room. the intake can be passive and the intake fan is optional.
if you run hot lighting ballasts or drivers place them outside the room. most led/cob/quantum won't warrant external drivers.
run at least one fan in the room for air circulation in and around the plants. it doesn't need to be hurricane force, but you should feel it through the plants.
every decent space out there is essentially a copy of the diagram, with minor modifications.

Hey, that guy wasn't as dumb as people thought. In TX, people's previous convictions are linked to their driver's license number - and in Texas, as is the case in many states, ONE DL number is all you get.
So when he became President, one of the first things he did was to arrange to receive a new driver's license number from the state of Texas. <BAM!> no more past cocaine conviction showing up every time someone got curious enough to run his number.
He's probably at least half as intelligent as Bill Clinton (who actually won a Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford University - but never managed to bilk people out of their money running around wildcatting and digging empty oil well holes, lol).

well Im glad that you atleast replied with some normal answer.For the wattaeg problem, we admit we didn't revise the website data in time. In fact our factory have some upgradtion on the lights during 2018, on both Mars II, Reflector, and Mars Pro II, all the chips are now using the new SMD chips.

But due to fact that you havent revised your website..... I checked it many times during last 2-3 months and nothing changed and it could be there since 2018. So have many people have fallen for this incorrect description? As a factory thats a serious problem I think.
Its like buying iphone 8+ online and getting iphone 8

Hi @SmokeSara glad you stopped by.
Here in Ontario Canada where a 4 plant grow is legal there are lots of new growers shopping for essential grow space parts.
Can you, and everyone else, share your thoughts on what specifications to assess to ensure good quality light production? People have mentioned some terms but I have no idea what they mean or how to use that to assess a light.

No, it's the one that looked around at the populace calculated the IQ of a mob mentality (which is effectively zero), shrugged, and decided that he'd just get people to shake their heads and he'd have nothing to worry about.
I guess he was right
."Ha ha ha, ho ho ho, yeah, screwed the pooch on that one (err... I didn't mean that in the literal sense, but...), but look at what I'm married to - what would YOU do?" And, yeah, kept on smiling.

- Check the spectrum of the light, if red and blue is both enough for plants growing;
- Check the real wattage of the light
- Check if there is any lens on the leds.
- Check their PPF and recommended coverage.
We are going to make a video series to show how to choose a good light very soon as well,
