What size exhaust fan for drying tent?

[the123321]

I have a 32x32 tent that has a 6" ac infinity fan with filter that I grow in. The 6" fan on the lowest level pulls in the sides of the tent.

I have a perpetual grow in that tent so I do not want to dry in that tent. I am planning to use a 2x2x4 tent next to that tent to dry 2 plants in. I do not plan to put a filter on the 2x2 tent and I want to run a short duct from the 2x2 drying tent to the 32x32 tent and let the fan and filter in that tent do the odor control on it.

I was not going to put an exhaust fan in the drying tent at first and only have 1 or 2 small fans for air flow in the tent as I thought the big fan in the 32x32 tent would be enough to pull the air through the 2x2 to it but I definitely do not want any odor outside the drying tent. Do you think I need an exhaust fan in the 2x2 tent pushing the air out of the 2x2 tent into the 32x32 tent? Do you think a 100cfm fan would work? I am looking at this fan for it.

Get something with a speed controller. drying tent should be ok without any additional fans if duct tight enough to the grow tent. Something you may want to think about is if you have plants in late flower in the grow tent you may be raising the humidity too high by pulling the drying air into the grow tent? If nothing in late flower no worries.

Thanks. The 6" ac infinity fan I have in the main 32x32 tent that I grow the plants in has a level on it. I usually run it on the low setting and it pulls in the sides of the tent. Then you are saying that the fan in the 32x32 would likely be able to pull the air from the drying tent that is next to it? I plan to have like 3-4 feet of 6" duct from the drying tent to the 32x32 tent. You think that 1 fan in the 32x32 would be enough to pull the air through the 2x2 into the 32x32 and through the filter then exhaust out of the 32x32 tent? You do not think I need a booster fan on the 2x2 tent on there? The 32x32 would likely have plants that are in like week 6-7 while I am running the drying tent on there.

Yes I believe that will work.
