All right I thought Id come here with this question. Im going to be constructing a 3x3x5 grow bow in which I plan to put a 4in inline fan in attached to a carbon filter. Would a passive intake system be enough to get good air flow and also keep the temps in a reasonable range. I plan to also have a small desk fan for the plants themselves.

I have a 4x2x5 tent with a 4 inch fan and filter and just rely on passive and it works great. There is definitely negative pressure in there because the walls all get sucked in a little.

Its just 7 foor tall, so it look more like a waredrobe closet and I fiugured it would help with ventilation maybe be that tall. I was hoping to put my carbon filter in above my light to. Also i was going to keep the plants 8 inches off the floor in the closet, so i could put a tray under it so i can water and now have to take the plants out.
I dont mean to be throwing a bunch of questions out but I just finalized my plans for my box but cant decide on ventilation. I was going to do a 4in inline like i stated before. But the box is going to be in my bedroom out in the open, so i didnt want to be kept awake by the noise. Do you think I could get away with computer fans as the exhaust?

Not a chance, I would be a little skeptical using the 4in....
Run the lights during the day if you don't want to be kept up at night

Just starting to get the supplies for a closet multiple 250 grow room, the only problem is the 250 was my original idea for a smaller 7 foot high by 3 foot wide box thing. but decided to possibly go full closet and work with 6 plants. what would the recommondations be, right now since its my first, and i want to do aeroponics, i just want to start with like 4 plants and one 250 hps with some homedepot cfls.
4 plants aero under a 250w i would start them early give em a good vegg but try not to get them to tall before flowering i dont know what strain your running but the all tend to stretch in flowering.. but yea bro doesnt sound bad at all
rotate them plants i would do because i know for a fact that some aint getting the light the other are.. unleess your in beer cups lol..

Ya man, I have a 5ft by 3 foot open closet, so im going to wall up the 4ft opening, and leave a 18in, doorway into it. then i can run all my exhaust and stuff right up into the attic, with hopefully a homemade carbon filter scent reducer so my sister in law doesn't happen upon the glorious scent. As for the strain, I'm undecided. I dont have any bag seed. So I think im just going to pick up some clones from a person.
