Afternoon,

Looking for advice/suggestion on a quiet fan and good carbon filter for an indoor grow tent in a adjoining room.

Tent is 4x4x7 so the square footage in tent should be 112. The planned setup is fan inside tent. I am still deciding of I want filter hung inside or outside tent.

Filter would need to be quality enough to handle some of the more aromatic plants and running 4 plants in the tent.

As always, help is greatly appreciated.

I hang the filter 6 feet < way over my veg plants, then air gets blown along the floor to cool it and back through the Chamber.

Carbon filters work better sucking air rather than pushing, you could always have the fan outside and hang the filter if space is an issue. I fucked up and got a 6" inline and filter which is huge for my tent so I'm savving up for a 4" apollo horticulture inline

I have the same size tent and I hang the filter and fan inside. Filter is a can filter hanging at the very top running through a duct to a cool tube to the inline fan blowing out. I blow it out of a dryer duct vent I installed right outside the house. No smell. Noise is minimal.
I found using hard metal ducting lowered noise over the flex stuff.

Maybe get a speed controler instead and run your fan at a lower speed.

Have and old fan, but it's like 115 cfm, so add in filter and it's below needed cum.

Have a 8 inch can fan (big orange one), that I tried to use to vent multiple tents (Over 700 cfm), it's vented to another room to dampen sound.
Main reason to have fan inside is tent will deaden sound more as well.

Could you post a model/link for suggested fans?
