Circulation / Exhaust
Smokin_Joestarted grow question 5 years ago
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?

Most definitely need to run fans always. Humid stagnant air Is molds best friend. Cutting the fans off is inviting mould to germinate and take over. U always want air exchange and airflow in ur tent. Happy growing and stay lit fam.

Hey Growmie,
Yes, they run all the time, it's a must to keep the humidity down when the lights are off and air circulating even during the dark periods. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember ..."Happy Growing" and "Free your mind one puff at a time"

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.Setup. Ventilation

Maintaining VPDI've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?Setup. Ventilation

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?Setup. Ventilation

How can I reduce the heat in my 5x5 tent (650w light bar/6" ac Infinity and a ton of fans) without AC? Do I have to leave tent open?5x5 tent is in a kind of lung room (utility room) that stays around 20C/68F. The tent always seems to be at 30C86F with lights on. Ive added and moved fans, opened more intake vents. I have AC, but its -25C/-13F outside. Id like to drop the daytime temp 5ish degrees for flower.Setup. Lighting

Humidity spike?Hi there,
I'm having weird issues with my humidity, it seems to be fine (40-50%) for 70% of the day, but the remaining 30% of the day it spikes up to 60-65%.
Temps stay reasonable in the 5x5 tent, I have ducted air-con in the house which is on most of the day.
Thank you!4 years ago

Silent inline fan recommendation (Europe)Hello growers, I am looking for a somewhat silent fan for my 2x2. AC Cloudline is not readily available in my area.
I'd love some feedback on those : RAM Silent 125mm, S&P TD Silent 160/100 N, GENT ECco 100mm, TT Silent M 100, DALAP AP Quiet 100mm.
Thanks a lot 👍Setup. Ventilation

6" c' filter adapted to 4" Cloudline fan?Has anyone mated a 6" carbon filter to a 4" inline fan? AC Infinity is OUT of 4" filters, so considering getting a 6" and adapting down to 4" intake on AC Infinity Cloudline.
Seems intuitive, since reduced intake restriction would be preferable, with increased life as a benefit.Week 2
