I'm currently working on a microgrow, around 1ft x 1ft x 2ft - so 2 cubic feet. Since the grow space is so small, I figured using a decent PC fan would easily refresh the air in the cabinet enough and I would save money on a new fan and controller. When I say decent PC fan, I'm talking about a 120mm Noctua that operates at 60CFM and maximum static pressure of 2.3mm/H2O.
However it is to my (minimal) understanding that CFM isn't the only important metric but rather that there may be a minimum level of static pressure in order to even push/pull air through a typical 4" carbon filter in the first place. That being said, I'm unsure how the actual value could be calculated hence why I'm asking here. Would it be better to DIY myself a carbon filter and pack it with less carbon to reduce the draw power needed?
Thanks
