    Opinions on fan+filter

    Hi again guys, sorry for all the questions but I'm fairly determined to get this grow project right (or at least almost) the first time.
    Saw this fan kit on Amazon and curious to get a few opinions or even suggestions for something else, size wise it seems good for the tent.
    I know I could go up to 6 inch and adjustable fan speed but it is only a 2/4/6 ft tent with 2 Mars Hydro TS1000 lights.
    Tent will be in my fairly cold bedroom so heat won't be an issue to get rid off, keeping temperature up and stable will.

    I’ve never used that brand. Fans are fans. Generally the only real differences in them is the amount of airflow and noise level. A good filter is really important come flower time if the smell is a issue so make sure you get a good filter so check up the reviews.

      If it fits your budget I'd opt for the highest quality quality fan/filter you can afford. I say that not having any knowledge of this particular brand of fan. Considering the fan may run as much as 24/7 quality components will pay off in the long run.

        I'm tempted by this one because of the temperature and humidity controller, since I don't need the carbon filter for another 4 weeks at least I could splash out a little.

          That one is very nice. You only need a 4" fan though for a 2 x 4' or 60 x 100cm tent. A 6" fan might destroy your tent.

          What I like about the 6 inch one is that it's adjustable so I can compensate for the difference in 4 and 6 inch if needed and it will help out with controlling humidity as well, where I live the average annual humidity is 79% so this fan combined with a dehumidifier might save me a bit of work

            Your second pick is a good choice..great fan, 6" variable should do you just fine. Make sure when you do purchase filter, it has at least the same or greater CFM rating as your fan. Bigger is better when your dealing with exhaust and filtration.
