snipes-
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

powerful so i dont think they will be running at full speed anyway
