re: Grow Room Fan & Filter Setup
What kind of hood and light setup are you going with? If you are using HPS/MH then I would try and exhaust the heat from the hood as well. If you're using LED's or Flouro's then your good.

Would suggest a variable speed control...depending on fan size, you may not have to run it full speed...h00k...

Oh yeah adding a carbon filter is like adding a silencer

Just be sure to SECURE or RE-ENFORCE Any & All Bracing Are What Diameter/thickness of pipe ex. 1/4 inch !/2 Inch. I ask because a good friend of mine tried to mount even a 4" Inline Fan from 1/2 inch & it didn't turn out so great for him. The 1 inch tent poles are the best for pretty well anywhere up to 12" Set Up. Not trying to freak you out or anything at all like that but,-
- I've seen some truly avoidable Tragedy Tents (as I reefer to them) lol. No Injury situations ONLY of course. I have alot of my OWN said situations in the past too. I just like to help others from making the same EH! If U Have a good Support intact you'll Be Just Fine. I've helped a friend mount the same set up as your diagram & all is still great with his Gorilla Tent set up on 3rd run.
The OLD Schoolers swear by the HID etc etc. I use to be one of them However, I have to Admit these FREAKING MARS II LED's R-
- OFF THE HOOK. IN The ACTION SENSE of the word.

I don't know about you, but in tight spaces the fan/ filter can take up a ton of room. I have my fan set up through an exhaust hole in the tent and it pulls air out and pushes it through the filter as opposed to pulling air through it. Works just as well and opens up another foot of height in the tent.

If you are still in veg then the filter and fan does not need to be on. When you are in flower and they are starting to have a sweet odor
then you can turn on the fan and filter. Also, as the other post said, cool the lights also. this could be done by taking the fan out
put and run it into the HPS light and take the output from the light and run to the discharge port.
If you are in Veg and using a CFL light that works for me.
But when you start to flower you need a different light, a MH, HPS, or LED.
There are some sponsors that sell LED lights and the prices are good also.
I will be trying an LED light with switchable VEG and FLOWER.

- I have been looking @ the NEW MARS PRO LED Lights they come with remote & Or Veg & Bloom Control Switches. These lights have the - Same Power Too! Mars In My Opinion Is BY FAR "The Best LED Light Manufacturer Of LED Full Spectrum Light Available TODAY"
- By the Way, "LG Solutions are THE TRUE MANUFACTURER Of The Complete Mars LED Line Up" Go Figure! LG Makes Top Shelf LED'S Eh!
- I'm working On Ordering One Of the NEW Mars PRO Lights from China where said Manufacturer IS Located. Even If I have to go through - a Retailer here in Hamtown No Worries as long as I get one Eh! lol.

My setup is similar only I run the exhaust through my 1000W HPS light. When you are going to flower and if you use a HID or HPS light you may want to do something similar.
