Thank for your time I have 3 gg#4s just finished installing mars hydro 2000' I did have a MH1000 in there until this point. A small desk fan circulating air. I am planning on getting a 6in carbon filter in a couple weeks. I am beginning to realize 3 plants might have been too much for a 2.5x2.5. Any criticism/ ideas are welcome. Trying to get good at this. The shoes strings on the light is because the light was hanging too low so I came up with that shoestring idea to extend the distance from the plants. Thanks and happy growing 4/20 tomorrow hope you ready. Also happens to be my son's birthday. How crazy is that

If you are getting a 6" fan...or even a 4"....make sure it has adequate speed control.

A standard "3-speed" 6" fan will create a huge amount of negative pressure and suck in the sides of your tent. There are some newer fans with electronic controllers that offer up to 8-10 speed settings. You will be able to modulate among the lower speeds to get enough power to pull air through a filter and exchange the air in your tent without generating a hurricane inside it.
