Question about ventilation
Kdog20started grow question 4 years ago
I have a 200cm tall tent with a carbon filter connected to an extracter fan/ duct leaving the top corner of my tent.
I have no intake air fan connected, although the walls of the tent are bending inward- should I add an intake fan in the bottom of the tent?

Nobody01's answer is pretty close to what I was going to say, but it all depends on what you want to do, if smell is not an issue, I prefer having the tent at positive pressure so everything blows out, helps keeps dust and debris down. If smell is a concern than you'd want negative pressure as Nobody was mentioning. Fan pushing into the tent = positive pressure, fan pulling out of the tent = negative pressure. If you are going to have an intake and an exhaust, make sure they are variable so you can adjust inflow/outflow to your liking. I run an intake and exhaust on variables and it gives me a lot of control over the temp/humidity if needed.

If you want smell to be contained, you want slight negative pressure, otherwise it will leak into room/house/aparment - which would defeat the whole purpose of a carbon filter. As long as you feel air being pulled in when you open up a zipper, at least initially with a small gap, then all is good. It should not be a strong pull. Simply make sure it's not being forced out when you open it up.
The 200cfm with a filter and hopefully mulple bends in the ductwork, if it can let light in, will ikely make "too much negative pressure" virtually impossible with a typical exhaust fan.

Do I really need a exhaust fan ?If my 2x2 grow tent sits at 26c and 68% humidity without an exhaust fan do I actually need one ? The top of my tent, the vent is open and I’ve opened the observation window at bottom to allow air in. I’ve two fans, one at canopy level and one in top corner opposite the top vent ?

Humidity issues near floweringSo I installed an intraction (145 m3/h speed1) and aluminium foil on the pots but humidity is still hight like 75% when nightime and the lowest is 65%. Probably the water evaporates by the pots (drip, clay pebbles). I have no more ideas. Do I have to buy a deshumidifier? Thx !

Humidity won't go down because of clay pebbles ?Though my extractor is at high speed, I have a hard time with controlling humidity, I hardly go under 68%, specially during the night. Probably it's the clay pebbles since the pots don't have a lid. I placed the temp/humidity probe near the tallest leaves. what do you think ?

Ventilation setupDo I need more than just carbon filters and 2 fans in my 18"×18"×48" grow tent?
I bought 6 inch round carbon filters that are about 1/2" thick. And put them in the vent holes for odor control and I have a hanging fan at the top of tent and a small fan for exhaust. Is it enough?

Anyone tried a plasma filter instead of a carbon filter?Supposedly superior odor elimination over carbon filters
Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwiNUkjL1Dk
As you can see they resemble carbon filters (they're part carbon filter actually). The only question is...can they run 24 hours a day for 3 weeks?

Auf der Suche nach der richtigen Luft EinstellungEquipement
- Growtent 100*100*200= 2m³
- 2 Vents ca. 280m³/h (1 Zuluft, 1 Abluft)
- 1 Cli-mate mini Humi 300W
- Filter 125-400M³/H
Die Panzen brauchen ca. 140 m³/h frische Luft und so müssen die Vets immer auf 50 - 60% in Betrieb sein richtig? Oder kann ich auch tiefer gehen?Week 1

Can I exhaust my grow tent into the closet it's in?I'm putting a 3x3 grow tent into a larger closet I have (maybe 8' x 4')? So I guess the closet is called the lung room? I will have a carbon filter and inline fan in the grow tent exhausting out. Can I exhaust out into the closet it's in? Or is that a no-no? Pros and Cons?Setup. Ventilation
