You know, fan size depends on a few factors like how much ducting you are gonna be using and how many curves and turns there are in the ducting amongst other things. There's a mathmatical formula to calculate fan size

Have a look at this guide

http://www.weedguru.com/forum/viewtopic ... 88&t=26677

Those fans you showed me are not in CFM but in m3/hr...1 m3/h = 0.5885745 CFM

The babies look great btw

Well if you give me your growbox dimensions I could try and figure out the proper formula for ya. I managed to do it for myself once so...

4ft x 4ft x 6.5ft if i did a bit of DIY work i could get about 8ft in height instead of 6.5ft

Room volume

4x4x8 = 128 cubic feet

CFM required (absolute minimum cfm for exchanging the air in a grow room.)

128 divided by 3 = 43 cfm

Additional Factors

For non aircooled HPS light add 10-15%. Assuming you have a small HPS light we'll add 10%

So 43 cfm x 10% = 47.3 cfm

Assuming you are in a warm climate, we can add 20% minimum on for that

47.3 X 20% = 56.76 (57 cfm)

So you need a fan capable of pushing atleast 57 cfm..lets say 60 to make things easier

60 cfm = 102 cubic_meters_per_hour m3/hr

So you need a fan that pushes a minimum of 102 m3/hr

You will need more than that if you have a carbon filter or long ducting between the box and fan

I hope thats right lol
