    the carbon filter size isn determined by the number of plants its determined by the fan size which is worked out from the wattage of lamps or the size of the grow room, normally for a 600w hid lamp the best option would be a 6" extractor fan and carbon filter, you use bigger filters and have reducers but you cant have smaller filters or the fan wont draw air properly.
    you probably want a 4" intake fan also to supply fresh air
