Here is what I was thinking. Let me know if it's possible or how I should tweak it.
I need to vent the two sections of my split tent (made from B&W Poly) and I figured since neither section is all that large I might be able to get away with a single 4" or 6" centrifugal fan. The tent will be inside of a closet with ducting that would tie into a roof vent also being used by a dryer unit to exhaust heat. I'd use something like this:
1. Can I get away with a single centrifugal fan? Or would I need to individually ventilate each section?
2. How large of passive intakes would I need in vegging section and from vegging to flowering?
3. Should I go 4" or 6" for fan and ducting? Vortex seems to be pretty popular, any other recommendations?
4. If I ventilated the vegging section separately, do you think a PC fan on the exhaust and a slightly less powerful PC fan on the intake would do the job? I figured I might run into issues with this if I don't exhaust the heat out of the closet.
5. Do you think I can get away with 400 HPS or would 250 HPS be better for this size flowering area? (2'3" wide x 2'3" deep x 5'6" high) I already own a electronic ballast for 400W HPS. But I was looking at the HIDHUT 250W interchangeable eBallasts.
