Ok can I ask a couple of questions?I've also looked at this Rhino Pro Carbon Filter 8 Inch 200 X 400mm 800M3/Hr
And this Systemair RVK 150mm 6" L1 New IEC Model 4 5 6
So the Carbon Filter is an 8 Inch and the extraction fan is 6 inch would this work or do they both have to be 6 inch?
What size area are you going to use for growing?
what lighting are you planning on using?
sorry if this has been covered I just want to make sure I understand your setup before I answer properly.
any fan can fit to almost any size filter using reducers.
personally I use 400w HID setup and utilise a 3.3ft x 7ft x 8ft closet with an active growing area of 3.3ft x3.3ft.
I use an RVK150A1 and 150x600mm Rhino Pro.
I also use a SMSCOM fan speed controller to control the speed of my fan. Growing in the U.K. my fan controller barely speeds the fan up much beyond 50%.
the A1 fan is 460m3/h and the 150x600 filter is 900m3/h.
So far I haven’t had to change my filter in a very long time (9years) but I don’t grow all year round. For example I haven’t restarted my grow room since around June when I harvested.
If you’re using less than 600w HPS (350w LED) and are located in a cool climate then the A1 RVK AND 600mm rhino pro will see you right for a decent amount of time.
if you’re using 250w or under then a 5” RVK would be ample.
