Hello....to you all...I am a newbie and I wanted to ask you a couple of questions! I'm starting my first grow. I have a bubble-ponics system with a 315 watt 17,000+ lumens. I'm going to be using a cabinet to make it stealth version. The cabinet measurements are height: 69", 24" across, and 23" deep. My concerns are for ventilation...can I use a 6" flat whisper fan with 230cfm or an 8" 500cfm for intake and exhaust.?...and what about the odor situation, what can I use or do?...

Personally, since it's a CFL, i'd say 500CFM is wayyy to much.. Not needed.. A few PC fans should do the trick, have you ran the bulb in the cab to see what the temps are like?

Thanks....I appreciate the input! I haven't even set it up yet, I just got it and I was a little concerned about what I should do for the smell. Yo say the 500cfm is way too much...how about the 230cfm fan...is that still too much?...do you have any advice about what I should do for the odor control?
and...I honestly didn't see what you was talking about, when you sent me that thread in your answer.please don't be irratated by my questions I'm just a newbie..lol!

For smell you can use ona gel, ozone generator, or carbon filter if you're doing a ventilation setup.

Don't...have no idea what your talking about... I'm going to look it up for more info...not using a 4", 6", 8" ventilation systems, wanted to use the CPU fans for this since the length is 24" across and 23" deep!
