Sooo I'm about to start my first grow in a closet which is 7' Tall x 2' Wide x 4' Long just wondering how big of a carbon filter would I need if only growing 2-3 plants?

Would 6 inch suffice or would anyone suggest larger?

I've just got to have complete assurance of odour as that's my main liability. Would 4 inch even be over-kill for 2-3 plants?

k i agree with cosmo that 4" would suffice, but for the extra $20 it would smarter to go with 6" so you have it, as well you could buy a speed controller which would allow you to dial it down if you dont need it all, which drastically helps with sound. I learned my lesson that I shouldve bought a 6". My space is a little larger than yours and the 4" keeps it ok though

What size light?

I would go with a 6" and a fan that has at least 280 cfm. Get a 6" fan with a speed control.

7*2*4=56 cubic feet

You want to clean the air 5 times a minute.

56*5= 280 You need a fan with a minimum of 280 cfm.

I like high tech garden supply.

I have noticed a bunch of new, cheaper gear from Bloomerang around the internet. I know nothing of the brand except the 600 watt hps performs better than big name brand digi ballasts.
