You make a good point. I started thinking after I posted and crunched the numbers a bit to see what ventilation system would fit my needs. I found an activated carbon air flter hydroponic odor scrubber online for a decent price. Here is what they say:

"As a general rule, you should size your filter to cycle the entire volume of your room every 3-10 minutes. This filter uses a 110 cfm fan, but is approx 60 TrueCFM (after mounting to filter). The shorter the time required to cycle the room volume, the more effective the filter will be." According to their numbers their system, 110 CFM - 60 true CFM, setup in a 2'x4' cabinet with 6' height. 2x4x6 = 48 cubic feet will take less than 1 minute to cycle the cabinet volume. 48 / 60 = < 1 minute. Is this to good to be true?

My grow space is smaller than the above given dimm so I think I will be okay with that system for now. I can always upgrade once my lease is up and I move to a house.

Figured I would cut a hole in the opposite wall where I mount the filter/fan to allow fresh air to enter. Will ensure proper air conditions with a de/humidifier as needed.

I'm always down to build something so if heat remains an issue I will follow the DIY to build a cool tube to help cool things down.

Hey I really appreciate your taking the time to answer a few questions. Always help to have someone to fill in the gaps.

Thanks :joint1:
