I was wondering if a 4in hydro crunch inline fan with their carbon filter would be good enough for a 2x2x4 grow tent? The fan is rated at 188 cpm. I just ordered me a mars hydro ts600w along with this inline fan and carbon filter combo kit. My temps have been in the high 80’s to low 90’s. I’m trying to lower my temps, my humidity is around 40’s - 60’s. I’ve been only using a small 6 inch clip on fan for my exhaust to blow out the top to start. I’ve been using a cheap 300 w amazon led light. This is my second round growing in this tent with my first harvest being really small and airy buds. So for my second round I’m trying to add some better equipment. Any help would be appreciated!!! This is the fan and filter combo I ordered I ordered their ducting separately because it didn’t come with this kit.

For that size tent the combo you ordered should work well to keep your temps in check and create better air flow. In the future you could always add an inline fan to help it out if needed

The fan should move enough air. What are the conditions in the room where the tent is located? If it's also that hot, ventilation won't fix your issues.

I have a small tower fan oscillating air on the bottom and a 6 in clip on fan blowing air over the canopy. I also have the air vent open on the bottom and one 6 inch fan blowing in air from outside for now.

Yes that fan is adequate for that size tent. Passive air intake from the bottom and you should be good to go. Make sure to use some kind of filtering material to filter the intake air to prevent dust and crap from getting into the tent.

Thank you for that advice! What would you suggest for a filter for the intake air?
