will it be a bumpy ride! GROW LOG
CFM = Cubic Feet per Minute. It may be something different given that you use the metric system. The fan needs to move enough CFM to totally exchange the air in the room every 3 - 5 minutes. Every 5 minutes is fine. You need to calculate the volume of the room and divide by 5 (minutes) to get the CFM rating needed. At 20 - 30% to account for the length of the duct, bends, the filter, and any other drags on the fan. Get the fan size and then match it to a filter. Filters also have CFM ratings. Over estimate your filter needs by 15%. If you want to do the math properly you will find a useful link in my signature.

Start those nutes at 1/4 strength and work your way up.
Good luck!
