Hello everybody 
. well this is my room i'm planning to build, first the room is about 10 x 10, width x length, about 7ft tall. I'm planning to intake air from one room with an inline fan placed towards the bottom, the hepa filter will be on the other side of the wall (you know those hepa carbon filters at the hydro stores). the on the diagonally opposite side of the room i will be placing a can fan or carbon filter directly screwed on to the hood running ducting all the way through the other hoods and into another inline fan that will be shooting air into a 4" decreaser that is connected to a 4" dryer vent fan installed in a glass block. The lights are all 600watts each. This will be my flowering room and i'm
here's my list of questions
1. What do you think? can you point out any flaws?? (given my workspace)
2. since its 10x10x7 what cfm do i have to run on the intake and out take? can i get away with 4" inline fans (the cfm on those are about 180)? what kind of cfm can i get away with in that room and what is recommended?
3. If i do run 6" inline fans will the reducer connected to the dryer vent mess with the fans cfm? is it bad to push air through a decreaser?
4. What kind of can fan/carbon filter will i need to run with 6" fans? (i hear you need a higher rated can fan with lower restriction, i believe mine is only rated around 250cfm maybe 300.
5. I also have an ac vent luckily in the room, technically couldn't i run 1 outtake fan with a carbon filter and just receive incoming air from the ac vent? or is the ac vent restricted when it's not blowing cold/hot air? will it cause too much negative pressure without an intake?
6. I also was going to implement co2 to the room a few times a day ( just manually run co2 tubing into the back of a stand up fan, would it be techically cheaper/easier to just run co2 all the time in the room and just run ducting from on room straight into the lights and out the vent?
Please if you'd like answer one or answer all!! need as much help and opinion on this as i can get, i'm basically spoiled with options, this room is in a basement and it's cold usually year round. It's summer and it feels like a cool 60 down here with a little ac from time to time. I'm asking for alot to have everything answered but would hope there are some people that would enjoy this post and i'm sure there are many people out there who will see this closely as they're building their grow room (especially novices like me). i'm sure theres one question you all have for me because of this lengthy post.... yes i'm medicated as we speak.
