Hey Guys.
I have just build a Grow Box 2x2x6 (60x60x180). I need this grow to be secret tho, so i dont have the option to use a noisy ventilator. Therefore, I’d love to hear your opinion/experience with pc fans in such “big” grow box.
I was looking at the Spiderfarmer SF1000, since they produce less heat/watt and use no noisy fans.
I am considering to buy 3 pc fans (2 exhaust w. Carbon filter and 1 intake with mesh/dyst filter). And i have been looking at the Noctua NF-P12 PWM. They have high static pressure, and are very silent (12.6-19 dba)
- Do you think that its possible to grow with these fans in a 2x2x6 box, why, and why not?
Im not really sure if its mostly for environmental control (heat issues) that people say you need big ventilation and such, or its because of the fact that plants absorb the co2 quick?
I read people saying 2 exhaust and 1 intake was stupid, because the exhaust fans would lose much power, but i think that the fans will run pretty similar, since the carbon filter takes at least 25-50% of the power, and i need negative pressure anyway’s to keep smell inside.
And i will ofc. buy a circulating fan to keep lights cool, and prevent mold.
I will also be supplementing with CO2, so higher temps are allowed, and helping my pc fans deliver new CO2.
