Try and keep the ballast outside your growspace to minimize heat, I would have thought a 4" fan would be fine. I've got a 9" inline fan in a space 12' x 12' x 8' and the negative pressure is huge, very hard to shut the door.

With a little help from a few forum members I have decided to get a 6" and run it at lower speed

Any recommendations of brands etc would be much appreciated. I am looking for a quiet one, I'd rather get a quality one than a cheap one and regret it. I will check this Variac out along with a few others.

soler and palau there "silent" line was my first choice
has hi and low
i went the cheap way out and got a ipower 6" fan and filter combo and the controller i need is probably 3 times what the fan cost

Bummer! It's hard enough to find someone you trust in the first place. Give Tim a ring at Growell in Bristol.

And no, I have NO association with company other than having been a customer and recieving first class help and advice.

Best of luck

Ok man thanks for that I will give them a ring if needed, but guess what... that closed ​shop of ours - they went on a short holiday! :3 They said they have been around for 9 years, no sign of stopping yet hehe ;)
