i'm working on my second grow room it is 3 ft wide by 7.5 this grow will be dirt i've use black and white on the whole room i've got 2 x 305 cfm fans
with a cheapo shade for now. will these fans be good enough for this size?
another question is there advantages / disadvantages to using hydro for moms apposed to dirt?

Those fans should be fine, but what KIND of fans are they? Do you plan on using a carbon filter for the smell?
Hydro For mothers is a good choice if you harvest often, that way you get new branch growth regularly for good clones. However, if you don't have constant harvests I prefer to use soil. That way it's more stable, your genetics are safer and less can go wrong... plus it's less maintenance.

Oh and with 1000w lights air cooling is prefered, the infrared they emmit is huge, I would personaly use two 600w and not a 1000w, better light coverage.

Those inline fans should work but only if there are no bends in the ducts, at all! A centrifugal fan would be a good idea, they aren't cheap though, but they will last for years and are worth it in the long run since a 1000w lamp puts out a lot of heat. Add as much ventilation as humanly posable.
