Check and make sure that the carbon filter is at the minimum matching cfm of the inline fan or preferably higher. NOT lower than inline fan cfm.

Whoops my bad. I wrote down the wrong cfm for the inline fan. Its 350 cfm not 410.

I was looking for the cfm info the other day for the filter . And couldnt find the answer so I emailed the company and was told this....

"Hello there,

Thank you for your question. This filter is designed to work primarily with our 6 inch duct fan. The duct fan has a maximum CFM of 351. This is the maximum amount of airflow that we know the filter is able to handle.

Thank you for your question.

Kind regards, "

Based on the PPF foot print of your light at 24" height 3x3 footprint the average is about 431 um/s² this will produce about 28 DLI (day light integral) in 18 hours so this is going to be short of the 41 to 50 we are looking for in ideal conditions. Two lights would be better but I have grown with less than you have now. A word to the wise "Light Envy" is never ending. Tent goggles and UV protection:

Should of played it safe and gotten the 2000w model instead. The one I purchased was almost $200 cheaper than the 2000w model. It was on a flash sale for only $98. Might just keep it in the box and save it for a rainy day and go ahead and order the next size up. Or perhaps find a small led to fill in the rest of gaps. Thanks for your input @Mañ'O'Green

I would use that and just add one or two others. I like @BigSm0 autocob. Having a couple of lights makes it easier to accommodate a short plant.

Looks like its going to be a little bit before I get the ball rolling. Went to set up my VIVOSUN tent to find out they didn't send the right amount of poles. I'm missing one. Grrr super frustrating.

Anyone have any recommendations for a better tent company? Preferably one that will send me all the necessary equipment...
