Will this stop my grow from smelling and remove heat

Ok so I am wondering how hard it will be to cool a 1.5mx1.5mx1.8m space

I will put 2 x 600w in the space (a tent) and I will have a 8"inch extraction fan ( haven't decided what size intake fan yet) and I will use air cooled hoods for both my 600w lights so I was wondering what fan I should use money isn't much of a problem if it defiantly keeps my temps down.

And even more importantly I don't want any smell at all not even a whiff if your not in the room which is why I'm going with a high powered 8" rvk connected straight to my carbon filter but I'm thinking should I get an even stronger fan as I cannot risk any smell

And most importantly the carbon filter itself anyone ever compared to similar priced cf from different companies I will invest in the best cf (carbon filter) if it will work much better than a cheap one anyone recommend the best carbon filter company and would it be worth going for an oversized filter for the high powered 8" fan rather than a matching fan and cf size

previous experiences would very much apprieciated i would not like any guessing if your not sure please dont reply thanks for taking your time to read this

Your better off running sealed ducting for your lights an a carbon filter as a scrubber. The reason is the more volume you suck through said filter the cleaning gets worse and you get more smell. Imo a killer 8 inline fan is overkill for two lights

I heard that the size of the filter really only really effects how long it will work for. ONA gel works to absorb odor rather well as a secondary measure....I always had it around.

if your cfm rating on the fan is greater than the cfm rating of the filter it will pull the air faster than the filter can scrub it

Thank you for the replies so far and yes I was already planning on running a venting system for my 2x600w and I different one for my tent
so I probably be using a high powered 8" fan probably a rvk fan this will be for the tent would this a good setup carbon filter connected straight to fan-->ducting outside tent and I don't know what fan I should get for the two lights i was thinking a high powered 6" rvk

I will run ducting from outside tent to the light then to the other light then outside the tent

Also anyone have any ideas on what intake fan I should use know it needs to be weaker than my extraction fan but what about NO intake fan at all?

And haulinbass thnx for reply but what do you mean use a cf as a scrubber I'm most probably over thinking this as most stoners do but the way I interpreted this was [use the carbon filter as a carbon filter] lol. I thought a scrubber is another name for a carbon filter

Any thank you all for replies it truly is appreciated peace my fellow stoners

Using it as a scrubber its just not connected to your ducting. But if your in tents just have it connected to the end of your ducting and blow through it to save growspace
