Yeah I know, google is your friend. But most of the HVAC threads seem to be about big operations, or at least big lights, so I'm being lazy and asking you guys.
What about a 2.5' X 3' grow structure (within a closet about twice that size) with an Area-51 XGS 190? Our house is well insulated and we don't have drastic summers/winters. Plant smell is another thing entirely of course, but I'm trying to address everything with one system. I'm thinking about buying a very quiet (.5 sone) 50 CFM bathroom fan and mounting it to the ceiling. Not cut into the ceiling like a normal fan, just attach it to the ceiling. Then install some creative ducting to expel air either to (A) the bedroom or (B) outdoors.
If plant smell becomes an issue, I have a theory. Bathroom fans have a flat face, hidden behind the plastic bezel. So I figure a guy could cut a piece of plywood, cut a hole in it for ducting, bolt it to the face of the fan, and rig a charcoal canister to the intake.
Anyway, here's the main question; is 50 CFM enough for a one LED/one plant closet grow?
I'd like to think it could be done with some PC fans but after hanging around here for a few weeks I'm guessing that'd be a waste of time.
Thanks for reading!
