Hey guys. I just purchased a 3 x 3 x 6 tent, and was wondering what was the proper air exchange for the tent.

I assume i am needing two intake vortex fans, i am thinking 6 inch ducts, and a carbon filter for smell. Also other added fans for moving air.

What total cfm do i need? Or even easier, what fans should i be buying?

Also, what should my ideal temp. And humidity be? I am aware this changes from veg to flower slightly and/or strain types.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

56cf is your size a 6 inch is like 440cfm..you can use 4 inch and be ok.. for fans use any oscillating fan\fans that will fit

There is no need for forced intake, as long as the exhaust is adequate and intake holes are big enough. if you want to increase ventilation, you are better off with increasing exhaust fans rather than placing intake and exhaust
