Hi, Just got my first tent!! Its a Secret Jardin DS60 (2'x2'x5'). Yeah i know its small but its all have have room for I plan to do a soil grow using Fox Farm soil and CFL lights to start, and I hope to upgrade soon to at least 150w hps. Anyways I have pretty much everything I need to start except a good exhaust fan. The tent is only 20 cubic feet so I know i dont need that much flow, but I do want a healthy amount for carbon filtering. Also noise is a factor as this will be setup pretty close to where I sleep. So, long story short, do you all have any suggestions on Fan/filter setups for such a small tent?? Right now I've been looking at:
1. the 4" ventech 190 cfm they sell with the speed controller, but I've heard the controller causes hum which I'm not really into.
2. Active Air 4" 165cfm, i think they make their own controller for this too and I'm assuming it hums too but I dont know.
3. Hyperfan 6" 315cfm... Yeah i know thats alot of cfm for my tent but I figured i could dial it back quite a bit and still pull through a filter with limited noise. (Still might be too much power??)
4. Can Fan 4" or similar with variac controller to adjust speed. This will probably be the most expensive option but I'm not against that if it will give me the best results.
Anyways, I'm looking for suggestions and/or advice on what fan I need. If you were a sad chap like me with a lowly 2x2 tent, what fan would you use? Doesn't have to be from the list, just looking for any help. Its my 1st tent so I have no experience with these fans. Thanks!
