What would be an ideal CFM for a 4x4 indoor tent?
1784152
I have 2 of these fans in a 4x4 tent with a 600watt light. One is to exhaust heat the other brings in fresh air. Its pretty windy in there moves some serious air the 4" fan I had prior worked during the winter but not during summer heat. This actually allows enough air flow to keep the tents temperature around 70 with cool air coming in

At 4' you would lose warm air circulation in the room. Although the fan in the unit is reliable it isn't all that strong. My guess is that at 4' you would lose warm air circulation in the room from 2' to the floor.

Thank you for that information. I was worried that the tent ducts might be a little too tight. But a snug fit will suit me perfectly. Thanks again.

I recommend buying a tarp and cutting it to the size of the base of the tent, cheaper, easier and lighter. I've used this tent 32 times to date and in every weather including high winds. Can't go wrong with this as a solo tent.

Typically, the heavier the gauge, the less resistance. 4 guage is probably overkill especially since the distance you'll be using is very short. 8 or even 10 should be totally sufficient.

I'd get one that is bigger. This is just ok for a 15 x 15 room in my opinion. Makes a nice noise, circulates air pretty well - but won't cool a room off in my experience. Good luck!

The Natural Light Solar Attic Fan roof mounted recommended capacities are:Venting Capacity:12 watt: up to 893 Cubic Feet per Minute recommended for up to 1260 Square Foot areas, 24 watt: up to 1339 CFM up to 2100 Sq. Ft., 36 watt: up to 1628 CFM up to 2625 Sq. Ft., and 60 watt model: up to 1995 CFM up to 3255 Sq. Ft.

I recommend that this is a 2 person job. I also recommend that when installing the fan you line up the tabs correctly or you will brake them off. Lastly the 4 way connector is not that durible ether so install the top Section first then the side. Nice and roomy tent

I've got the 4 man size and it is very roomy for 2 people, even with cots. I use a 7'X8' garden tarp for the ground cloth and it extends out from under the tent into the vestibule area for a nice outside entry way. The pre-made snap on ground clothes are not as heavy duty as a tarp and just aren't worth the money. If you have more than 3 people using the tent go with the 6 man version. Great tent for the money. I use it year around.

Fan airflow regulator. You want fresh air coming in and fresh air going out plus carbon filter. I would use an ipower 600 watt light with cool tube. Need negative air pressure. Sensi grow a and b works well with the hobbyist bundle made by advanced nutrients. Genetics is also key though. Use femenized seeds. Keep your temp stable and watch your humidity

i really couldn't say as i use it in a 7 by 7 foot tent and it's not air tight, sorry i couldn't help more

I bought this carbon filter ... the filter itself works great! However, you may not get a 4" fan to move enough air. Usually, a 4" will be in the 200cfm range +/_ 50cfm. I use a 400cfm 6" fan with a reducer and plan to upgrade the filter into a 6" for greater airflow. If it is an affordability issue, this will make do; for quality, go 6". The variables I don't have are climate conditions and lighting equipment.

it is a little small, mine actually says 190 cfm on the fan but it's definitely not that high, if your tent is small, say 2x4x6 that's 48 cubic feet so this 100 cfm fan would work, you air would be exchanged once every 30 secs...most people go for once per minutes, so your fan cfm should roughly equal your cubic footage of grow tent..short answer, yes you can, if it's the right size..

My experience has been that a tarp smaller than the tent footprint is better than one that's larger than the footprint. Place what tarp you have under the areas of the tent that will get more traffic/load

You need atlest 5 CFM at 90psi you can have lower then 5 but doesn't perform at full potential.

I would go bigger because you're room has almost 400 cubic feet. You want to turn ask the air in the room over at least once probably more per minute. Also the fan you are looking at is not strong enough for that filter let alone the one you really need. In that size of a room I would go much larger because I assume you are trying to cool lights with this set up as well and I don't think that this combo would be cable of pulling enough air over your bulb to keep anything bigger than a 400 w cool enough to not cause problems in the grow area. Speaking fun experience you need your fan to be rated significantly higher cfm than the filter to sustain enough airflow to keep the light cool as well. Be patient and purchase the right materials off the bat or you will end up purchasing new equipment that should have been bought the first time. Just my 2 cents. A lot of money can be wasted because you cheaped out up front. Save the money you need for high quality equipment and you will get much better results. That being said this filter is great for the amount of cubic feet that it is designed for. Just go with the 400 cfm range one and you will be happy aslong as your fan is not cheap and can pull through the filter as well as cool your light. Peace.

I have the tent designed for 4 people, a thick queen air mattress - about a foot and a half tall - just barely fits.
