Wrong ventilation/reflector setup ? Will it work?

K

Have bought a 1.2X1.2X2 meters Hortilab tent, a Rhino filter 425m3 125mm/5" and a Can fan 350m3 125mm/5" .. Should be enough for a
filter --> fan --> out
setup, with fan sucking from the filter as discussed with the store guy

But now ive bought a Blockbuster 6" as well and dont know what the best option is, return the Rhino+Can (unused in the boxes) for bigger ones ~600m3 (?), or keep as it is and set another ventilation for the light ? Too much weight? Too much noise?

Btw gonna use a 600w light so heat will not be horrible and having to buy a bigger fan than the tents just for the blockbuster seems too much to me. Or is it not ?
Any suggestions ?

You can get reducers in most home improvement stores HVAC sections. A couple ways to go: filter-->fan-->hood-->exhaust. Or, put the hood on it's own closed circuit (which means another fan).

I've learned the hard way to always opt for MORE when it comes to ventilation. Good luck. -granger

I dont know what hard way was like and these words alert me having no experience with some situations and i really really want to build a safe ground for me to step onto

Do you think at least the combo Rhino425m3+CanFan350m3 i already have will be enough for odor without going in the hood ?? dont know if theres an air flow reduction within the hood so i dont mind having them separate as long as i can feel safer[/U

Then i really dont mind going for a second fan for the lights and have a little more flexibility with the ventilations as well. I dont mind the cost, freedom/secure is what concernes me more and a proper - meet the standards - working envirnment

thank you

The combo should work, yes. Even without going through the hood.

Another fan means more noise. If noise is ok, making the hood a closed circuit is a good idea. Then, if you choose, you can go to 1000w at a later time.
