I have a bedroom that Im growing in right now, measures 12'x13'x8'. It tends to get pretty warm in there in the summer, and keeping the smell quarantined is of utmost importance. Although legal, my trailer park prohibits growing. I have a 12 plant maximum, but I'll probably only be flowering 3 or 4.

Thanks.

Your room would be 1248 cubic feet and you want to exchange the air in your room about every 3 - 5 minutes. so you would need a fan at least 250 cfms. I would go more like 400 or higher with the carbon filter. A 6 inch inline fan would be enough. You could also go with an 8 inch if you wanted to spend the extra money because you could always put it on a fan controller because it probably wouldn't need to run at full power.

The Ventech fan/filter combo is what I recommend and am using. i also had a similar post about fans a few weeks ago and someone recommended it to me. The 6 inch fan is 440 cfm's. You can find them on this Ebay store with free discreet shipping.

And the link to the filters:

both links are listings from the same ebay store. Unfortunately the 6 inch fan is out of stock right now or they would have a 6 inch fan/filter combo for sale. I got the 4 inch ventech fan/filter combo from this store for $100 free shipping. The 6 inch fan/filter combo was just on there a few days ago though so I'm sure they will re-stock soon if it sold that fast.

Get the fan/filter linked in the post above and an a/c to keep the room cool in the summer.

Your room is 12'x13'x8' and youre growing 3 or 4 plants?

So youre only growing in a small part of your room I assume. Say a 4x4' area?

I would get a tent or make a box to contain the plants. No sense getting a fan/scrubber for that whole area when you only need it for a fraction of that space.

So make a box out of 2x2's and masonite or 1/4" plywood. It will be much easier to control the environment in a smaller area.

What lighting are you using? Probably go with a 600w hps

A 4'x4'x6' box would be good for 3 or 4 plants.

Yeh I just made a small box for my 250 watt grow out of 2X2's and 1/2 inch ply. I found a bad ass small cool tube that is only about 12 inches long so it only fits up to a 250 watt bulb and some of those small 400 watt bulbs. I made a post in the deals section about it with a link to the ebay listing. I won the auction with a $15.50 bid and the shipping was $10 so I got the coo tube for only $25.50. Check out the post I made in the deals section if you want to use an hps light in a small box since it is hard to do without an air cooled light because of the heat.
