At least 1 per plant? 6inch fan on each. 21 on the ground and the other 21 hanging up around the room.

Welcome to RIU. First off that seems like at least double the number of plants for what that space will handle. As for filter check out this site, just type in dimensions and it will tell you https://canfilters.com/help/filter-calculator/ A 6" should be fine but you could even go to 8". Wouldnt hurt.

I was thinking about 12 inch filter because I installed a 12inch fan on my wall, I was thinking that it wasn't going to be enough for 42 plants, am I just over worrying? because I was thinking to hook up a 12inch filter on the main fan, and add some more 6inch filters with 6inch fan around to clean more air..I just really don't want the neighbors to call police so thats why im looking for help

Biggest filter you can get. The longer the contact time the better the cleaning and the longer it lasts until you need to replace it.

Tell us more about your set up.
What are all these LEDs you have? Brands, wattage?

Don't forget you need walk space in that room.


Whats your climate like? The same room in a desert will take far more cooling than one in a cold climate.
There's no one rule that suits everyone despite what a hydro shop airflow calc tells you.

Yes my friend I created a room without a tent, what do you think? should I just get rid of the metal hangers and buy tents with a filter each so the air comes out in the same room again? and then have a filter connected to the higher fan so the 10% that the filter didn't clean will get cleaned before going outside, I truly need 100% odor free around here haha please help

Whats up my friend, look this is my setup, I was going to connect the 12inch filter to the higher fan and just leave it like that but thinking about it hard I just can't afford for some smell to go outside, how would you do it? I was thinking to get rid of the metal hangers and buy 2-3 tents with one filter each so the air goes out in the same room again and have the 12inch filter to the higher fan so the smell that didn't get purified first, will go trough the last main filter and achieve 100% pure air? what are your thoughts? or is it too much?

I bought different lights, I got
1 Viparspectra P2000
9 Bloomspect 600w
4 Viparspectra 1000w

I do have a little walking space, very little but I would do haha

im from Paraguay, South America, we are entering spring here so it will be warm, I have an air conditioner in there too so that will solve the heat problem later on..im getting my 42 auto seeds from a bank by the end of the month and I really want to make sure everything works out, I studied a lot and the only obstacle im facing is the smell when finishing flowering.

Thanks for any help!

For starters, flat white paint does a better job reflecting light than foil. And those lights suck, so don't expect much from those.

As to odor control, carbon scrubbers running in the room to process the room volume at least once every 2 minutes (1 is better) will get the odor way down, then another carbon filter in the exhaust should get whats left. The axial fans you have cut into the wall are also garbage, a centrifugal inline will move a LOT more air.

thanks buddy, sadly I can't get everything I see on eBay because import is too expensive, down here people smoke regular weed, garbage weed, so these lights and good genetic will work for me, will be the best weed around here haha..

im expecting atleast 60gr per plant maybe?

We shall see. First lets get past the genetics selection. First run is usually a shit show with pollen chucking bananas and stuff, you will have to cull the crap and keep the winners to clone for future runs. So don't expect much from the first run.

Do you not think trying to put 42 plants into a 10x10 space is unrealistic?

Shotgunning a lot of plants is actually recommended IMO. Don't grow them big, cut clones from each one to root and keep in veg (track who is who carefully) so you can cull the ones that match with pollen producers in flower. Once you have selected plants that don't pop bananas and that produce quality nug you can clone those, veg the clones and flower them.

Always expect the first run to produce little marketable flower unless you are starting with proven clones from a friend. The first run is just about selecting winners. You will want a veg room to keep the mothers in and to clone. The lights you have would be best suited to that purpose and better lights in flower hopefully down the road.

It looks like you have individual A/C units in each room. Why don't you use the fan mode? After all, it's an "air conditioner" and takes out the air as well as condition it. If it gets too hot in the room with all those lights, you could put the A/C on low to cool it down. I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of flack from this but that's what I would do with that unit.
