Crusade...
Are you going to exhaust the lights directly? Meaning are you goig to hook up ducting and an exhaust fan to your lights?
Or are you just going to exhaust the room and use an ocilatiing fan to keep the heat off the plants..?

Hi Crusade,
Are you exhausting the lights directly, using ducting and an exhaust fan?
Or are you exhausting the entire room and using and ocilating fan to keep the heat off the plants?
Fantech makes good exhaust fans..

I will being doing both. I will have a fan that is hooked up to ducting and a fan that is oscliating for the plants to help them develope strong stems. At the end of the ducting before it goes out I will have it go through a carbon scrubber.

i see...
Fantech makes some great fans.. they dont make much noise either...
What ever they suggest, I suggest you go bigger.. If you have the $$ it is always best to get a GREAT exhaust fan..
I have used fantechs 2000cfm fan with a speed controller... and it was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! SCARY actually.. LOL

this is the FANTECH website.. I do not see the 2000 CFm fan.. but you dont need that fan anyway...
What are the dimensions of your room?

How far do you want to blow the air...?

A long ways. Don't really know yet. Will 380 work to cool one 600 watt light. I am thinking about getting a 12'' Vortex Fan 1140 CFM.
Does anybody have a online video on how to grow bud. Just asking. I thought I saw a thread around here for that.

Ok dont know if you have any experience with inline fans, but a 10" can fan is insane. When put on full blast and vented out the attic it will vent the whole house after its been on awhile. I would recommend a 6" HO (high-output) can fan. They are comparable with other brands 8" inline fans. Now it would be best to have 6" flanges on your hood ala the cool sun. Also this is gonna depend on how many twists, bends, and how long your ducting is.
Peace,

Edit: Hmm, didn't notice that you dont have a seperate fan for ventilation. Not sure then. Dont have experience with this type of setup. GL bro.

Would it not be easier to put in an a/c unit in the window?

I might do that too. but you need good ventilation for your plants to do well with out adding C02. But If I wanted to add C02 then I could just use an a/c unit.
laidbackgreen- Yes I will have other fans for venting the room. Intake and exhaust. You are saying that a 10inch can fan will effectivley cool 3-600watt lights.

A fan is fine and you can add co2 for cheap.

how can I add co2 cheap.
Sparrow

sugar and yeast is the cheapest way. fill propane tanks at your local supplier, co2boost or exercise in the grow room.

Crusadde..
1140 CFM's will handle all your needs.. LOL
Make sure the fan is not louder that what you WANT.. and you may want to invest in a speed controller...
