What Size Fan and Filter do i need for the Budbox Pro 100cm x 100cm x 200cm?
The 100cm x 100cm x 200cm is suitable for comfortably 6 plants or a mother plant. It is also ideal for cuttings and propagation. As with all grow tents they require a filter and extraction in order to maintain ideal growing conditions. An extraction kit is essential to create the best environment satisfying your plants with optimum temperatures and humidity. For this tent a 5" or 6" Extraction kit would be suitable. Ultimately your choice of extraction comes down to your choice of lighting and environment. If, for example you are using a Low powered light/low heat light for example a Flourescent 2 tube, CFL (125W, 250W, 300W) or a LED Unit then a 4" Extraction kit will suffice. If your choice of light is a HPS (High Pressure Sodium) 250w, 400w, 600watt then a 5" Extraction kit would be more suitable. It is also important to consider internal and external temperatures. i.e the temperature in your tent with just the light and the temperature of the building you are growing in, is it usually cold or warm? Use a thermometer before growing to check this. If we consider the ideal growing temperature to be between 22-28 degress then if with no light your current temperature is high you will know once a light is on you are likely to need a higher extraction. Likewise if the building is cold or you are in the heart of a winter climate, the 4" would be more suitable.
If in doubt, we reccomend it is always better to over spec your fan and reduce its output with a controller, this gives you the flexibility to increase its output to maintain optimum conditions for your plants, for example in the middle of summer.
