Will a 6in 450cfm intake be enough?
I have a room with approximately 2200cf and about 300cf of the room will be split and used for veg. I will be pulling 8in 750cfm exhaust threw CanFilter then threw multiple hoods on two separate runs. There will be a second 8in 750cfm fan at end of run to assure the 750CFM is just that. The other smaller 300cf veg area will be passively intaked from the larger remaining area described above. Making both rooms sharing air and intake. That room will then have a 6in 450cfm fan also attached to a can filter and going threw a single run of hoods, also with second matched 6in 450cfm fan.....>>Giving a solid total of 1200cfm exhausting.
I plan on intaking from a controlled room, and I DO NOT WANT PASSIVE!
Was originally gonna buy a 12in 1050cfm for intake and throttle down (if required) with speed controller, But was convinced (not easily) that a 6in 450cfm could supply my required 1100-1000cfm (leaving 100-200 for pressure) by speeding the fan in excess of its original output pressure (450cfm).
I just wanna know if my exhaust pressure will be enough to propel and pull my 6in 450cfm fan to around a 1000cfm or so? I know ill have a drag, just wanna know how much?
Should i go bigger or is it not required?
I know Im going on for days,.. But thanks in advanve for reading, and any and all help received.
