HEPA Headache - Help!

Who knew buying a filter would be such a huge pain in my ass? So I purchased this filter from fungi.com

I tried to get a graph from them showing resistance vs flow but they don't have it. It says that the static pressure for the filter is 1.0 and that the CFM is 425. All I'm trying to figure out is what the resistance would be at 100 feet/min so that I can get a blower to match. Does anyone have experience with this filter?

Don't have info about that filter but the fungi perfecti website also sells a blower that claims in its description to be the perfect match for your filter. EDIT: had it linked but I removed the link because I realized they don't sponsor shroomery:(
It lists the specs for that blower in the description as well. Hope that may be helpful enough.

Thanks for the response goat sucker lol. I saw that blower, which is crazy expensive, but the stats are limited just 1040@.8sp. I really want to do all the math myself.

The blower paired with it is a Dayton 1TDU2. They just tack $100 extra on top of the retail price and act like it's a FP specific blower. Order it off of somewhere like Grainger, Amazon, or electric warehouse and save that $100. It's gonna be too strong for that filter. No matter the resistance. Look into the smaller Dayton blowers if you're looking to buy a blower new. Or other blower brands, of course

Ayyyy thanks Gan! So funny that you have come to my aid because I just started watching the LOTR movies yesterday! Don't kill me, better late than never. That fan did seem kinda powerful. This is why I want the actual stats for everything, I'm dropping a good amount of money into this and I want it to be perfect. What do you think those stats are for the filter? Is 1.0 the initial resistance? Is it 1.0 @ 425cfm? Is 425cfm the max for that filter? Their damn site is so vague.
EDIT:
I emailed HEPA corporation and I just got some info back! She said "I was able to get your performance calculated on this STD24-18-05PEADC50 filter. At 100 FPM, we get 243 CFM @ .46" wg nominal."
