**LoganSmith** · 01-16-2008, 02:40 PM

Hello all,

So I need some help with buying the right type of fans. Exhaust and other.

This is the space that I'm working with.

6 1/2' x 3' x 5' (x) 2

I'm using a 600w hps system with a light mover in the flowering area and I'm using two four foot fluorescent tubes. and 12 cfls for the vegging area.

So what type of movement should I get (cfm) brands will help aswell

hopefully someone will chime in with some good advice, because I have a similar size space that I need to get some venting/filters into.

(bump)

i dont know much about brands..but I know that the squirrel fans are good...you wouldn't need a very big one for that size room...or a simple box fan always works good as well for an intake or exhaust...computer fans also...sorry I couldnt be more help but here are some pictures of the intake system i put together today for 10 bucks at walmart...

How can I use this for both areas, and it this for the exhaust or the intake? Do I need two of these One in and one out?

Thx

You could use that for exhaust and just have passive intakes. Passive intakes are just holes that air can be drawn in from. Home Depot has some low cost inductor fans for like $25 that you could use for intakes. As long as you exhaust more air then you bring in, you'll be at a much lower risk for mold and contamination.
