Hi all,
Well as the heading says I'm building a new grow space. I've always been an outdoor grower, and will continue to grow outdoors, I love seeing the plants swaying in the wind.
But I figgured it's time to try indoor. My only experience indoor is starting my outdoor plants in a 2 x 3 x 7 hydro closet with 4" inline fan and carbon filter combo, wich has worked pretty good so far.
My new space will be a dedicated room measuring 6x8x7 for a total of 336 cubic feet. From what I understand, and I may be wrong, I would need to exchange the air in the room 3-5 times per minuet. Wich means on the low side I would need a fan that is rated 1008cfm? Is this right? Would'nt that be a humungous fan? How much does a carbon filter reduce air flow? Would a larger filter offset the difference?
I don't know if it enters into the equation, but the fresh air will enter the space thru a passive vent and exit the house thru a exhaust vent like those used for dryers.
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight you may provide.
