I am getting ready to build my own carbon filter and I am looking into a 6" fan for my closet grow. I only have 2 plants but i'd rather be safe then sorry. Plus if this first grow goes well I will more than likely try 3 or 4 plants next grow because I do have the room. My closet has a 1ft x 1ft section of sheetrock removed near the floor for passive intake. The room its self is 43"W 26"D 64"H. So can anyone recommend a 6" fan I can use to attach to a carbon filter? I was looking at this but i am not sure about it.
Need a fan recommendation

I would order one from greentree hydo they are usually the cheapest and have great service.
Try a hydrofarm one if you want a cheap one that works good.

you know , it's like the old comparison to how much an oil change costs a woman(who pays someone to do it) and a man that changes his own.
shopping list change oil yourself.
case of beer. 20 bux
case of oil. 20 bux
filter. 5 bux
another case of oil because you got drunk and forgot to put the drain plug back in . 20 bux.....
see where I'm going?? also I've heard horror stories about diy scrubbers coming undone while on a fan hanging above a crop. what happens to carbon when it hits sticky resin?? it sticks.

my first scrubber was diy, I work in a sheet metal shop and we were well equipped to fab one. still have the thing, the carbon cost me 3 bux a pound, took 15 pounds.I never thought I'd say this but have a look at htg supply( I hate the place,shopped the local store once and walked out with nothing), they have some very decent deals on combos. sounds like yours will be small anyway.

yeah and that chart more than likely has specs listed for exhaust and recirculating . when exhausting the fan will be smaller, when recirculating on the room it calls for like twice the cfm as exhausting.

Thanks for the responses everyone. I guess I'll take a look at some combos and I'll have to get some cash together. Based on the dimensions of my closet, if a 6" what I need or is a 4" fine? Anyone ever buy from Gotham Hydroponics? They have some great prices on combos.
