    Default Do I need extraction fan

    Hi guys so got everything sorted out ready for my first grow but was just wondering if I absolutely need a fan or is there a way to get a draw running straight through up to my CF?

    Cheers

    100% need an extraction one. Weather its suckin through the must have filter or blowing through it. Either way yes you need one.

    But intake fan.. now thats a fan you can get away without having dependin on size an setup of grow space

    Can always turn it down with cheap varispeed fan controller.
    With fans and filters you wana try match the m3/hr or have filter m3 bigger
