Buying tips
- Match fan CFM to your tent’s volume — a common rule of thumb is to fully exchange the tent’s air roughly once a minute, so measure your tent before picking a size.
- A carbon filter’s activated-charcoal life is finite (often 12-18 months of continuous use) — factor in replacement filter cost, not just the initial kit price.
- Ducting length matters for airflow efficiency: longer runs and extra bends reduce real-world CFM below the fan’s rated spec.
- If you’re stepping up from a 4-inch tent to a larger grow space, Can-Fan’s 6-inch and 8-inch options scale up rather than running two smaller kits.
