Setup:
Homebox 4.6w x 4.6d x 6.6h
2 Air Cooled - Cool Sun 600w Hoods and Lumatek 120v Ballasts
Vortex 6" Centrifugal Fan @ 449 CFM
Roughly 6 Feet of 6" Flexible Aluminum Ducting
I've been having some issues with the sides of my tent being sucked inwards and posted that here:https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/313245-another-fan-necessary.html
I plugged my grow space specs into a CFM calculator and was given 140 CFM is the ideal number needed to change the air every 1 minute. My inline fan is rated @ 449 CFM's and is setup to pull air through the lights, draw it over the Vortex fan itself, and push the hot and exchanged air out of the top of the Homebox. To try and curve the bowing problem(s) I opened up the flaps on the sides and all of the remaining ports. I feel comfortable that the temps aren't going to be a problem with that much draw out of the temp. I am not 100% on humidity remaining optimum but I already have a humidifier for that. In you guys' opinions, am I going to run any risks of exposing my plants to problems with oxygen deprivation or plant stress by leaving my setup as is or should I change something up here?
Thanks.
