edit. remember you already have the 6'' fan. exchange that filter for an 8 and use the 6'' fan with a reducer on the filter. no boosters it will do the work itself. maybe use the 4''s as your intake fans iether side of tent.
imo... i only use a 4'' scrubber for my clone and drying room

Booster alone, it may work if there isn't a lot of heat but I would think 2 intake fans plus a booster fan for exhaust would create positive pressure.

and he has high heat currently with an empty tent. once there plants in there and the ambient temps pick up i think hes gonna run into trouble.

yup and the humidity is going to rise considerably when plants are in there too

That's my fear as well..... I don't want to get a plant with great genetics in there and what I believe would be heat stress and suffocation in the long run...am I wrong

atleast your putting this planning in now. many jump in with a cheap budget or without the knowledge and we see them on here 2-3 weeks in the problem section asking whats wrong. they havent a clue as they've put so much in there that it all just adds up to 'nope'.... usually along the lines of 'first time _______, please help' and its harder for us to know as we havent seen what youve done in those 2-3 weeks. ive never grown successfully with led, it was in the early blurple years with cheap leds and i switched back to hid. but i do know there are a lot of guys on here very successful with them so your in safe hands. its nice to see the planning going in first.

Just fyi I used a 4" inline fan and filter for a winter grow with "3600w" which was really like 1100w and it worked just fine. No smell at all.

So just to be clear, is there a proper centrifugal inline fan anywhere in this setup? I am of the opinion that with only that one light and such a small tent as long as ambient aren't out of control the 4" should work just fine. I think he just has it setup all wrong.

Even early on inew my first indoor grow I studied and followed a lot of other growers using the same sort of system I was. I met a lot of good people only a few are still here.... but as far as the growing if the plant I'm set there, but led wise I am a novice at best. I know a guy who said about the same thing as above stated..., he gets about a half gram per watt with the vipar 900 led. Should have researched a lot more into leds before buying such a shit light... learning as fast as I can lol
