Fan Questions

Discussion in 'Grow Room Design/Setup' started by dvs1, Jan 24, 2010.

  1. Going to be starting a freezer grow soon,and had a few questions about what fans to use...


    First:Wanting to know what size fan to keep a 600 watt HPS in a cool tube ummmm cool.The light will be getting fresh air and exhaust out of either side,not from or into the freezer itself.

    Second:
    What size fan,working through a carbon filter(2 feet in lenght x 6" diameter tapered to a 4" duct),should I use to help control temps/fresh air(working with a thermostat)



    Set up will include:

    Freezer is 31.1 cubic feet

    2x5gal DWC
    600/400 watt NextGen MH/HPS with Cool tube(400w for any blooming needs/600w for flowering)
    FANS ?


    Modeled somewhat after Rumple's grow,so all the extra fixings to the grow space are not listed above,but if any of it pertains to my question,I will answer accordingly;)

    Any help will be appreciated :smoking:

    Also,does Rumple have a link to his grow room build....
     
  2. I'm pretty sure some one will tell you that a 600w light is too powerful for a space that small. I would look a a fluorescent T5 light for a small Sea Of Green grow.
     
  3. I agree with Reverend Bud. 600w seems like a lot of lamp for a freezer. A 6" inline fan would work pretty good with that size tube and filter.
     
  4. Good thing i have the option of using a 400w then.I was thinking i should i be looking for a 250cfm or so fan,would that be sufficient?
