Ok guys I built a wood box to flower in that is 8' long 3' deep and 6' tall. I was wondering if a 6" 440cfm fan and 14" carbon filter would do the job? I bought my light from gotham hydroponics on ebay and they are great guys with awesome products!

Here is a link to the different fans/filters they have.

I was thinking about the 6"x14" combo for $140??

i was gonna recommend HTG but theyve got basically the same prices.

IF you got the extra cash go for the 6x22 if not it wont make that big of a difference

Maybe cut its like by 306 months

8x3x6= 144 cubic feet. That setup will cover it and more, buy......do it now!

Make sure yo buy yourself a Speedster variable speed adjuster for your fan. You can have it at 25% to 50% and it will still be effective. Otherwise you will suck air fast than the filter can clean it. It will run nice and quiet also at that speed

I'm running a 22" Phresh with a MaxFan dialed waaay back using a variac. It's an excellent combo for my 4x4 tent. I got the larger filter because it was on sale. I'm pleased with it. cn
