Raxial -$ or Cloudline $++?

Hi friends, I'm from Argentina and I'm starting to build a 0.80cm x 0.80cm x 1.6m Indoor. I have everything resolved except for its ventilation, in my country we are quite limited in available products, I have national exhaust fans for indoor but they are very noisy. I recently discovered the AC Infinity brand which most agree is the quietest. I have the opportunity to order through a shopping page in the US and send it to Argentina, only that the values increase a lot for each dollar :(, that is why I turn to you to recommend me and tell me if there really is a lot of difference between one and another. I am thinking of buying a 6-inch Raxial, to extract the indoor air which will go through a ventilation duct to the roof of my building through internal pipes that are used to extract odors from the kitchen. I don't need carbon filters since cannabis cultivation is legal here and I just don't want odors inside my apartment. Many thanks in advance for the answers ;)!

I assume you mean .8m x .8m x 1.6m = 1.024 m^3

1.024 m^3 x 35.3147 ft^3/m^3 = 36.02 ft^3

You need to do a full air exchange every 3 minutes so:
36.02ft^3 / 3 minutes = 12.006 CFM minimum is your fan solution

The Raxial S4 I use as an intake booster delivers106 CFM so it should be enough. I hope that helps you

Sorry, I translated from metric to imperial units, and the indoor (according to your measurements) would be 31x31x62 inches. (80cm x 80cm x 1.6m)

I have no experience with the ACInfinity duct booster fans but have used a couple of others of a different brand. And I currently use Cloudline fans. The Cloudline fans are far superior to the duct boosters I previously used. Especially when paired with one of their controllers to automatically adjust to maintain VPD.
