Howdy!
My space is 2x4x5 I would perfer not to use a speed controller.
I want to run a fan with a carbon filter. what cfm rating fan should I aim for based on my room size?

Also a 170 will work
Thank you, may I ask what the difference would be with the 170 compared to the 190.
The reason I'm asking about the 190. 2x4x5= 40x3.5=140 cfm req.

190 cfm fan with carbon filter I'm told will bring it down by 25%-->
Now the fan will push 142.5cfm with the filter attached. Am I right or have I done anything wrong?

it is just a general guideline. either will work just fine. if you have a hotter light you are using, like a 400-600w hps, go with the higher one. if using less than 400w of cob led, smaller one will be fine, IMO

I'm running a 300 watt led, I was afraid the 190cfm could possibly cause too much negative air pressure, but I am assuming it would work better for the smell since its pulling at a faster rate
