PC GrowBox Fan?

[Soulrebel239]

I have pc grow box 9"W x 18"L x 27"H. What size and how many fans to use in a box this size. There are 3 vents on the back and the whole front side is vented. Thanks for the help.

Personally, I'd do all 3 fans....and buy the carbon filter material to cover....to help mask the "aroma". lol.

I think you can buy @ home improvement store....

This is what I have in my cabinet....has 3 vents....looks like a nice wooden wine storage cabinet.

You probably don't need an entire roll....I change mine every 4-5 months, so use the roll. Look in the "filter" section of your favorite hardware store. You'll find pre cut filters. Good luck w/ your home made cabinet!!! KUDOS!

Thanks for the info aridbud, would you use 80mm or 120mm fans?

Is this all you use for smell control? Are you happy with the results?

Soul...go larger for air flow.

Joe.... Grow neutral or not quite stinky strains indoors. Save the aromatic for outdoors.

Yes, I've been pleased with results....changing out carbon/charcoal sheets do make a difference!!!

Thanks for all the advice Aridbud. I'm ordering 3 120mm fans and carbon filter roll from Amazon.

Excellent, Soulrebel!!

Look forward to a progress report and your seed selection....you mentioned Low Ryder....any particular LR?

I wanted to use chemdog lowryder but I might try bag seed for my first grow. I want this grow to be my learning grow.

Good call trying to do a test run first, I'm sure you'll find it helpful. It's during the first time that you realize you don't have all the supplies..lol..ppm meter, ph kit, micro/macro nutes, epsom salts, cal-mag, etc, etc. Take time dialing it in and remember to have fun..lol!! Lots of people get worked up when it doesn't work out, but we're all kinda backyard scientists...constantly observing, recording, researching, applying, analyzing, recording, on and on.
I personally love it...when at work and someone talks plants (not even cannabis), I can pull some smart talk out of my back pocket.lol. everyone in the office is like, "hey, warehouse guy knows his shit, prolly has a fantastic garden!"..and I do!

I'm surprised one of those sheets can last you a few months and still provide decent smell control! I got some Blue Mystic beans that are touted to be very smell-neutral...hoping that strain + carbon sheets will do the job right.

Not4n, I'm researching information everyday to help me with my first pc grow. I have all the major supply's that I need for the build Flora Series Nutes, 3 exhaust and 2 intake fans, 2 gallon bubbler for 2 plants with 4 23watt 2700 daylight cfl bulbs. I'm a little low on $ now so I have to make do with what I got now. Thanks for the encouragement.
