I notice on the forum a lot of advice is given and there are so many variables for each person's room, that it gets confusing. I have questions for people that have smaller grows 2-5 plants, depending on size...in a closet most likely.
My main question at this point is ventilation. I'm stepping up from computer fans to an inline fan and I'm concerned about a few things. First being noise, but good insulation can take of that. The major concern is stink.
I originally wanted to run the fan on a thermostat, but then I started thinking. If I have an intake fan on the bottom of the box, and another fan blowing around the inside...if I use a thermostat to control the exhaust, then what happens when it isn't running. It isn't going to be cleaning via the carbon filter, and all the air in the box will remain the same since it is an airtight box.
I was thinking...would it be a good idea to use a fan controller and slow down the exhaust fan slow enough to keep it running/filtering 24/7 instead of thermostatically controlling it?
