Hey Everyone ,

After doing lots of research on the subject , i still got a couple things i'd like to ask you guys about .
Ive done many grows in the past (Indoor Tent+Outdoor) , so i'm basically quite familiar with most of the setups,techniques,etc .. But only done 1 successful grow in the grow Room so far , and i need your help to perfect the ventilation system .

Grow Room Specs

Room is rectangular
If you draw a rectangle , door is at the lower left corner , and window is at the far right line/wall .
I will post a drawing .


Space :
4.15 x 1.92 x 2.20h (in meters) = 18 m3
13.6 x 6.2 x 7.2h (in feet) = 635 ft3

Light :
1x 600w HPS

Cultivation :
4x Scrogged plants in Soil in 25L Pots

After doing calculations for 1 complete Air exchange per minute , i came to the conclusion that i would need a 635CFM fan or 1078m3/h .

I would need to purchase a new fan , but i already got a 187m3/h fan (Could be used for intake)

Now my questions are :

1) Should those calculations be made for the entire Room , or should they be calculated taking in consideration the number of plants/heat and space usage which is only 1x1.5m or 3.2x4.92ft for the 4 plants?

2) Would i need a Fan for Intake ? Or would the window be enough ? The window is composed of 2 separate frames (50x45cm)-(19,6x17,7inches) which slide one in front of the other .

3) What would the most optimal way be for setting up the ventilation system ? Foam board with 2 Holes (one for intake and one for extraction) ? Other options ?



Would really appreciate everyone's help !

Here's the Drawing :

You might get by with 600 watts all winter with no fan needed for cooling, odor control is another matter.

I'd partition the room into grow area and lung room. 4 plants in a room that big (13'X6') w 600w, wouldnt be enough light concentration into 13'X6' w 4 plants...

BTW, if you have the means, go CMH.. 2X315W = 600w to 1000w hps.
Run cooler, less electricity.

EDIT: BTW, thats some shitty pic.. make it bigger so it can be seen
