Can your Exhaust ever be too much? Stanley Blower 655702 (Overkill?)

Hey guys, ive found a great deal on a Stanley Blower, Model 655702 ( Through a forum )

This Blower, has 3 settings -

High - 2181 cfm; 0.85 amp
Medium - 1746 cfm; 0.62 amp
Low - 1282 cfm; 0.50 amp

OK - My room from my calculations ( Could be wrong! lol ) only needs around 250 CFM

But this stanley blower is a great deal, money wise(40$) - My Question is, would this be over kill with it on Low Setting speed?


This also has a plug-in for a small light

With excessive ventilation you might find it hard to keep humidity up. You can maybe modify it to use even less current to work even slower.

as far as air exchange you could never have too much.. but as the previous poster stated.. if humidity and low temps are an issue then that would be the only reason that it would be overkill.
But for the most part the faster you exchange the ir in your grow area the better.

good luck

Would somthing simple and cheap such as a humidifier work ?


From the top of my head, the ideal Humidity in a grow room should be 30-40% ?

i have almost the exact fan but made by Air King, which, i think, stanley makes or visa versa. but yours is the more powerful version. mines hi-310cfm/med-260cfm/LO-190cfm. you could either regulate the power, or accomidate everything else which could lead to a waste of electricity. but this would all depend on how big the room is.

edit: since your room only needs 250cfm, even with the lowest setting. it should exhaust the whole room 5 times a minute. but you got a good price for it. Im thinking about buying another air king for an intake aswell. theyre fairly quite and move lots of air. and the stands that they have are easy to attach anywhere and pivots. two outlets, its ideal

The Grow part of my room is about 7'Lx5'wx6'h

Then there is a 3x3 Section for the mother/clones - which im hopin my exhaust will do both of thease -


So, my Main concern if i have too much CFM is Humidity, which a remedy for this could be a Humidifer - Size may vary ?

yes that blower can handle that, then some. the only thing i'd be concerned about is the humidifier doing minimal to the room because of how quick that exhaust would be. If you can get the blower to run slower, youll need less if any use for humidifier. not to mention the electricity youll conserve. the model i have would be perfect for your setup. but you cant beat 40bucks.

FYI my plants grow area has about a 10% RH,.. and they love it.


the more air you cycle the better


you can install a dimmer switch to control the speed of your fan (thats what i did)


another thing to think about, i bet that fan is noisy as HELL, my fan doesn't make very much noise aside from air movement, but its a centrifugal fan, and its designed to be low noise... if noise is an issue you might want to reconsider

considering wut the above posters have said.... that would make ur babies strong ass hell!!!!

Actully, After reading about 11 pages on that exact blower, no one has complained about noise, the only noise it does make it when its on the highest speed, then you can hear it.


If you guys think your fan is ideal for my set-up please post it!! =)


I went to Lowes and Home Depot, and that blower is not available, there is a heater/blower made by stanley, but i have no clue if it will work --


So what i did get!


Flat white paint
Plastic for the floors
Spider/Bug insect killer..


I want to clear the basement of all insects, and then some, im going to over load my basement with 3 bombs, then paint and start getting everything set up

ya you definatly want to sanitize the area. the air king i have http://www.drillspot..._Utility_Blower only $60 and is perfect cfm settings. but you should just get the dimmer switch if its cheaper in the end.

How did you personally if you did, get Duct on your blower?


ill be posting pics soon after its ready - Ive decided to start the process early while building the flower space for the SoG op -


Ill be using my small space for the seedlings/mothers/clones all under CFL's quite abit at that, till i can upgrade - i just want to get a "feel" on how to grow.

6inch flex hose is what i used

And you got it air tight? Your duct Adapter is rectangle like that?

go Vortex 6" fan or go home hooks right up to 6" alum ducting

Hey Mord, im almost thinking i wont need an intake, which i hope so, that would be great!

i think my basement has enough space to not worry about it - We will see, ill be posting pictures i hope tomarrow - going to go put one coat of paint on right now -

had 1.5ft of 6inch hose that ran from the top of the room to the intake of the blower and made a trapezoid type shapes out of scrap parti-board , inner lined with pvc wrap, that led to the hose going up and out and sealed it all with a special tape.

a good intake is always good, but with all the cfm that your blower moves. it'll probably produce a decent vacuum , as long as there's air to be pulled from

Hey thanks for all the responds people, i didnt have a chance to find that at ANY of my local stores, so i will be ordering one i imagine, monday there is 1-2 more stores i can check out -



I *Will* Be posting up diagrams, pictures and my plans today, so i would very much appricate it if you guys dropped by, you guys seem very helpful!


Im so excited! just bought some bud, gonna get blazed and work on the room some more..



Edit: Ill be using my Seeds from this sack to get the ball rolling, and get a "Feel" on how this works - Will start with My clone/mother room, under some CFLS - But my main room will have 2 600 watts, unless adviced otherwise.

perfect! always do practice batches. it helps fine tune the room. so many grows fail because of room difficulties and inexperience, not everyones a cannabis medic. but your room is really close to the one me and my cousin had built. almost exact the style im looking to build again after i buy a new house.
