I'm getting a secret jardine dr80 (2'8" x 2'8" x 5'3") with a 400w super sun 2 hps light and I have some questions on exhaust. I am planning on running 6" ducting from the light, out one of the top exhausts, through the attic, and having my 4" vortex + can33 filter in the attic. couple of questions.
first, is the 4" going to be enough cfm to suit my needs (based on the square footage plus the light) or do I need to get the 6"? the ducting won't be running more than a couple of feet. ambient temps in the area are around 75-76f.
second, can anyone link me to either a grow diary, post, or something that has a good write up/pictures of an insulated rubbermaid exhaust box? i've searched a while for one and I can't find a good example. like one that would house a vortex plus a carbon filter and reduce the sound a bit. also, is having my fan and filter completely removed from the tent an issue or is it a good thing? only ducting will be running from the tent while the fan and filter sit in the attic to exhaust.
I was thinking of alternative ways to set it up and I don't know if it would make more sense to mount the fan inside the tent and having ducting run through the attic from the fan and attach to only the filter in the attic. or is it better to keep the fan/filter together and away?
