привет, бро! 👋 направляй обдув на крайние точки роста. Расположи вентиляторы с маленьким уклоном вверх, чтоб захватывался поток снизу (где холоднее воздух) и направлялся в сторону выхода. Необходимо исключить лишние вихри и задержку теплого воздуха в боксе. На свой первый pc growbox я устанавливал пассивный вход и два корпусных кулера от pc на выход. Обдув осуществляли два процессорных кулера от pc. 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!

Sounds like done everything you can. Probably have to go with a cool tube set up and vent the heat out.

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? Thanks

Circulation / Exhaust Getting ready to install carbon filter; found myself wondering if growers typically leave their filters/exhaust/fans on during dark periods? Up to this point, I've had everything on one power-strip/timer: circulation fan, exhaust fans, and lights. Should I keep anything on 24/7?
