i have got two 6" vent-axia commercial powerflow fans that i plan to use in my first grow . (that is still in the thinking stage but soon to progress ).do i use 1 fan for extract and 1 fan for intake ?
or do i use 1 fan for extract mounted at the top then make a bigger hole in the bottom of the room and have some desktop fans inside ?
any help on this would be much appreciated

use one in one out but i would turn intake down cos once you put a filter on the extractor it will slow down it airflow abit
and you want negative pressure

As JIffa said, you want negative pressure to make sure no air/smell escapes. The filter will add resistance to the extraction, either get a fan controller for in the intake or mayeb try and swap it?

i have two fan controllers so if i set the extract to run faster than the intake then that should be o.k right ? the fans are quite
powerful so i dont think they will be running at full speed anyway
