I have a 8ft High 4ft x 5ft grow closet. The temps with no exhaust fan are 89 degrees. I was wondering if a 6" in-line duct fan would be good enough for the room that has 1 feet of ducting going to a vent that is in the grow room door would be sufficient enough? Or I have 2 of these http://www.frys.com/product/7190142?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG could I just add one of them to the end of this http://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-F...-Register-Box-RB10X4X6/100200159#.UmrTOnCsh8E which is connected to my vents. Which should I add to the duct?

The 6 inch duct fan might be enough if your incoming air is cool enough. Are you planning on running intake duct?

Those type of cheap plastic fans are normally only recommended for inlets
when you put ducting on them they lose pressure very badly and the air they remove becomes
much less than stated, also they are not designed to work with higher temps
not saying it will not work, but there are better tools for the job
they will also be loud , the type of motor and blades on that fan is nothing more than a house hold desktop fan but mounted in a shape that can be hooked upto ducting
you need to spend a bit more money to get an inline fine like this

Your not worried about odor control? Your whole home is going to smell really bad. The smell will absorb into clothes hanging in the closet etc... If cops have a issue with the neighbor and knock on you door... You open it and they smell it then they get two people in the same day! I would get something for odor.... You need it.
