ALOT. I have a 4" exhaust fan and I need to upgrade to a 6" or 8". It isn't a big deal now but when budding is in full force you will appreciate the extra suck!!

IMO, considering lights and possibly a carbon filter to keep the smell down, and the heat of the room alone with that big 1000w, you should be pulling at least 300 cfm.

How tall is your room? You want to figure out the cubic feet of the room. If your room is 5' x 5' x (lets say 8' tall) than your room is 200 cubic feet. You want to be able to pull 200 cubic feet at a minimum out of your room every minute. If you plan on using a carbon filter than you need to up the fan size a little more. A 1000w HPS puts off some heat so you need to be able to keep the room a stable 75 - 80 degrees which requires a little more fan.

It depends on the size of your room L x W x H. It also depends on the temps of the air entering the room. It also depends on if the lights are air cooled. There are a lot of variables.

You really need to vent outside if possible, constant warm moisture in your walls can cause black mold problems.

willi endupsickfrommold b4 then ? or does it take longer then that to mold

 

[godspeedsuckah]

It would take a while but yes you can get very sick from black mold. I didn't realize you were moving out soon. You can try venting into your wall or maybe the attic and see if it works; I really dont know if it will work well. Can you vent outside at all?

 

[wesley]

it is a apartment so i have no attic just one window that will be coverd ecepted for the fan for freash air and i really dont want a exsusted tube hanging out it because it will get ppl or cops thinking
