Hello to all...My name is Rob...I'm new to rollitup...I'm a scorpio, my turn ons are sports, good food, and good bud. My turn offs are rainy days, romantic comedies, and underdeveloped weed...lol. Now that I got that out of the way...I'm starting a tent grow. Not looking to break the bank...and so far I've purchased a 2.5x2.5x5 ft tent, a mars hydro ts1000 light, nutrients, clip on fans and fox farm ocean forest soil. I'll be growing autoflowers(moby dick xxl, critical purple and ak47). I'm looking for a decent inline fan and filter to scrub(4 inch?)...and thinking about a co2 bag. Any thoughts, suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Moby Dick. Sativa dominant. With the short tent think indicas instead.

c02 bag pointless in this setup. i run a AC Infinity 4" i like it i got the T4 one which comes with 10speed fan and controllable functions but sadly i can't use any of those functions since my temps are always too high and my humidity also too high.they sell a S4 series which is the same fan with 8 speeds only it's a basic model of the T series so slightly cheaper. good fan but not cheap. my temps/humidity don't fluctuate much to have advantage of the T models so i kind of spent more but i didn't know at the time since it's my first fan i just use it as a hygrometer instead.

i would think fairly accurate i see a lot of growers using that brand. i got a active air one and my AC infinity one of course the 2 are literally the same. only 1-2 degree's off and 1-2% RH off if i am not mistaken which is acceptable unless your anal about everything having to be exact

you might also want to check out a variable fan speed controller, depending on how many cfm fan you go with and the quality of the tent you're running.. i don't run a tent myself, but i've read quite a few posts on here where some fans are powerful to the point of sucking in the sides of the tent, which is where the speed controller would come in..
i run one mostly to cut down on the noise of the fan at full blast and i also run a like 12 inch 4 inch diameter duct muffler on the one end of the fan to also reduce noise fwiw..
