Best Fan Placement for PC Grow?

Hi guys,

I've been doing some research and I've found a bunch of different methods and ideologies for fan placement in a PC grow box, but there have been some contradictions in what I've read and I'm not 100% sure what I should do.

-having an intake fan and 1 or 2 exhaust fans

I read that this can be good to have a fan blowing through the canopy to strengthen the plant. I've also read that this causes air to swirl inside the case and raise the temperature.

-having 1 or 2 exhaust fans and a passive intake

I've read that this is the best way because it keeps temperatures low and circulates air the best.

-having an intake fan blowing on the lights to keep them cool and an exhaust fan

I've read that this is good to keep the lights cool and temperatures down inside the case, but I've also read that this blows hot air at your plants and can raise temperatures inside the case. I'm with the guy who said it blows hot air at your plants and raises the temp inside the box so I've pretty much ruled this option out unless someone on here can school me on it's benefits. :-P

SO

Should I go with the passive intake and 1 or 2 exhaust fans? Or 1 intake and 2 exhaust?

Keep in mind:

I'll be using 4x 26w CFLs, mounted at the top of the case, laying horizontally.

The case is approximately 23" x 22" x 9" and has space for 7 fans.

Grow medium = potting soil mix

Thanks in advance for any help guys!

And also, if somebody can answer this too:

In that size case (23" x 22" x 9"), what size pots/container should I use and how many?

2x 8" pots? (2 plants)

1x 8" pot? (1 plant)

1x 20" x 8" x 8" (or similar dimensions) container? (1 plant)

Keep in mind:

I'm hoping to get an ounce, but if I can get more that would be awesome. Just trying to set a tough, but realistic (I think) goal.

growing in a PC is stupid...

you will be hard pressed to yeild a quarter of an ounce... with a massive pc

if the cops search your house they will find it anyway...

you wont yeild enough to make it worth your effort

kids grow in PCs because it sounds super sneaky and cool...

get a tall cupboard or build a grow room or buy a tent...

What an ignorant cunt...

1. I've seen several PC grows yield more than an ounce...one nearly cracked 2 ounces.
2. If the cops search your house and you're growing weed with any of the methods you listed, they will find it.
3. I'm not a kid.
4. Go fuck yourself.

Next time, keep your condescending, useless opinion to yourself.
