I need advice on fan control...

I have a reasonably small growspace. 0.3m x 0.72m x 1.86m.

I intend to use a 120mm pc fan, around 44-60 cfm. This is about 3 times over the required cfm if I want to change air every minute.

The idea is to wire a 12v adapter to the fan. It's one of those universal adapters with a variable voltage switch.

But I'm having trouble figuring a way to connect a thermostat to the fan.
I want threshhold temps to control my fan.

There are fans available with thermostat controllers but not pc fans.

I thought this would be easy to find, I figured many growers over the years would have produced them. I guess not.

Any ideas? Hoping I get a better response than from the retards at uk420.

Soo...you came here to give the morons a chance to solve this highly technical dilemma for you o wise master. I guess the retards didn't pay a whole lot of attention to some one with a 1' by2' by 5' 'Grow Room'.
you really wouldn't wire the thermostat to the fan you would wire it to control the 120v circuit that powers the fan thru the 12 volt converter. Most thermostat operate at 24 volts.
You might want to think about your approach. You act like this is all perfectly logical. If you would have thought, you would realize the problem is the operator. BY the time you have all of this hooked up you could have bought the thermostatically controlled fan.....for a box that isn't big enough to flower a plant.
The retards probably gave you good advice too. VV

I already figured it out. Nevermind.

My space isn't so big, but it's big enough to flower a plant. It's worked very well in the past and it'll work again.

If I had a choice, It'd be larger of course, but I don't.

It's about 1 x 2 x 6, not 1 x 2 x 5.

And no, they didn't help me at all. Pretty much the same wiseass shit. In a weed forum, no less! Like, get high and stop acting like a woman!

I'm no noob, btw. But every now and again I have a stupid question to ask. Don't we all? I've contributed a lot of useful technical information to forums in the past, that has been well received. This so happens to be my first grow where I won't be around so much, so I will require a thermostat.

Maccabee, thanks for the link.
Victor, sorry about your dad.

Well, he had lived a good long life, he did get to 85, even though he lived as an epileptic having to take phenobarbitol and dilanten his entire adult life, so his death wasn't all that tragic. Now that he died he is no longer a pill junkie. I have no idea how you found out about it, but thanks for the sympathy. VV
