Fan speed controller

**Millio123** · 14-02-18, 06:31 PM

I'm just about to set away my 1st grow and need help choosing a fan speed controller. Tent is 1.2 x 2.4 x 2m 4" intake 8 inch outtake not fussed on cost as would rather just get the correct one I've noticed there's a few different ones and haven't a clue which one to get. Also are my fan sizes suitable for this size tent?
Any help much appreciated

Cheers

Everyone on here will recommend the...
Ecotechnics Evolution Digital Fan Controller..
Meant to be really good, controls the entire grow room environment.
Not got one myself yet but plan too

Ecotechnics. 😁

Some use smscom but I've only ever had the ecotechnics so I can vouch for that.

Iv only ever used the smscom hybrid, and thats purely because i wanted variacs for silent running, such a shame it doesnt have a display

If the ecotechnics had a variac version i would of hands down gone fr that

Thanks for the help much appreciated. Will look into both of above as I'm a little concerned about noise would the scscom be quieter with it being variac?
Cheers

Same as you dude. Didn't fancy the digital controller wanted it to be stepped down.

Exactly the same as me dude. Got min set on 2 and max on 5 it sorts itself out.
