Iam about to try my first grow and planning my grow room. It will be in basement approx 5x5 600w hps the area has basement window, so I was thinking of using one of those dual window fans that can vent and give fresh air controlled by thermo. My question is I have one of those honeywell air purifier things (its pretty big) the unit has a built in carbon filter http://www.kaz.com/kaz/store/product/b7ead5e8607992495e843be3e1032f26/
I was hoping this might help with odor?? With the 600w hps in this 5x5 with window fan http://www.amazon.com/Bionaire-BW2300-Window-Remote-Control/dp/B000065DKJ/ref=pd_sbs_k_1
Do you think I will need more venting for heat?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated..........Thanks

yeah that is what I would do if I could make it work...

I'd get one of those window fans that have two fans and I would attach 6" or 8" ventilation ducting to both and run them 24/7. They will add to the boost of your inline fan and I would run that 24/7 or else run it off of a timer. Your setup is simple. I'm doing a 4.67' x 4.67' tent with 1000W and am going to have to drill through my house/dry wall and setup a starndard drier vent; sucks! Feel lucky!

Thanks for reply. Window is basement type 28 x 16 I think, but window is going to be in grow room....do you really think Ill need duct to move air in such a small room?? Also have you ever tried one of those air purifier things for help with odor??
