4” filter upgrade help! Smell
SmylinPupilstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hey guys, I’m wondering what is a good recommended 4” filter for my tent? I got one that came with a fan, ducting and the filter off eBay but the filter is the shits. I had it vented in the room but the smell was brutal. It’s vented out the window under my deck, reeks there now.

they usually list how much carbon is in it... plus, the cfm's need to be considered. oftent imes teh cfm of the fan is above the filter in the combo kits you find on ebay. if you have a power control, turn it down, if possible. that will help with smell until then.
if you run it 100% of the time, they do wear out. only attach it when you have stink.

Hello.. Hope you are well.. Tbh if ur carbon filter isnt coping u'll probably need a bigger one.. U can get a reducer to size up on ur fan tho to allow the 2 to fit correctly.. A 4"fan to 6"carbon filter shud make more difference.. B sure ur not getting any air leaks from anywer.. If ur filter is a budget 1(i buy these myself),it will need changing every 3months if its on constantly.. Stay safe n gud luck.. 👍🍀

What's your tent? A 2x4? Vivosun has some good filters on Amazon at a good price. If your tent is bigger than a 2x4 you'll probably need a bigger extraction fan. What's the cfm rating of your 4 inch fan? My 6 is 460. And you gotta take it in to account that the fan loses cfm due to multiple factors like bends in tubing and also your attached filter. Feel free msg me with any questions and feel free to check out my first grow!! Cheers Happy growing!

Low humidity issueTents 20'' × 30''. Using a vivosun 6'' inline fan to exhaust with passive intake to create negative pressure. I have a good humidifier but even on full the rh doesnt go above 40%. Not unless the room the tent vents into becomes super humid as well.

Won't Oscillate AnymoreI was wondering what type of oscillating fans that everyone uses in small grow tents. I have been using the Vivosun fans and since they won't last I'm looking for alternatives. In case it matters I'm growing in a 27x27x63 MarsHydro tent.

Ventilation set upI just got my first grow tent- a Vivosun 32x32x64 and a Vivosun 4” fan and carbon filter combo. It came with directions for the tent- but nothing on the ventilation system. What’s best as far as set up? Any tips, recommendations, or photos.? Does it need to vent outside?Setup. Ventilation
