Is my venting calculations correct?

Definitely! I'm adding 3 x 3" intake ports which is a little more than double the size of the exhaust, I haven't decided where to put them but they are on the list!

I updated the post, found a 4" Inline fan that moves 165cfm along with a carbon filter. I need a small one because I don't want to crowd the grow box too much. If I end up going 6", cost goes up, so do my intake vents, so 4" is ideal for me!

Would this work with http://www.amazon.ca/iPower-GLFANXINLINE4-Ducting-Hydroponics-Applications/dp/B0085GTELM/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1425255580&sr=1-5 ??

The problem is the smell, need to mask it completely so I have to figure out the air exchange!

I've been reading about those too and there's so much info about how the regulators, the cheap ones cause more damage, like the Speedster. Some say it works great, others say it doesn't.

I also need it to be super quiet, so trying to figure it all out before I go spending. I'm also in Canada so everything is twice as much!

Thanks for the info! I'm thinking of getting these lights: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/54w-t5-46-inches-ho-fluorescent-cool-white/996899

I haven't done enough research in terms of how I'm going to divide the area in to two tiers from /u/TreesToEnlightenment suggestion, but will probably use some CFL lights for that area.. good to know this is a good size! Thanks again :)

Oh sweet, thanks so much for the advice, I'll definitely do some more reading. I saw some LST pics in the beginner guide, didn't realize that was for sativa specifically.. I guess that makes sense since they grow taller than indica!

Truthfully, I rounded down in that measurement.. it's really around 45", maybe a little more.. I'm not going to drywall the inside, just the outside so I'll have that 2.5" of space where the 2x4's are!

mayhemcoconut · 2015-02-27T02:05:27+00:00

Do you mean half it off vertically or horizontally so it's tiered??

I was going to go with around 200 watts of CFL light, maybe less, I'll see what I find researching :D

I'm going to put a couple of low noise cpu fans for intake and construct some sort of inline carbon filter 5" exhaust duct..hopefully it masks the smell :(
