Slowing a two speed inline fan
Newbiegrower420started grow question 4 years ago
Can I run a fan speed controller with a dual speed inline fan? My 4” two speed fan is slightly too powerful for my grow room. I’d like to slow the fan slightly but I have heard the these types of controllers don’t work with two speed fans? Any advice or what to buy to do the job?

Hi, yes you can.
I have a 4", 2 speed inline fan. I use a variac speed contoller which works on either the high or low setting. Not the cheap plug in one as they just cause an annoying hum. This you have to wire yourself but it's very easy.
Hope this helps

Hello. A dimmer switch is what I use. You know like the one in a dinning room you turn down the lights with. You need to wire it yourself but it works great. Turn it up in the summer and down in the winter. Good Luck. Chuck.

My advice is to find that model on Amazon and go through the questions. I guarantee it's been asked and someone has answered and possibly come up with a work around.
Different fans behave differently, so I can't personally say for sure.

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?

2x2 Circulating FanWhat is the best circulating fan for a 2x2 tent available on the european market?
I bought a Secret Jardin MO20 oscillating fan, and I highly regret it because I have read several reviews mentioning that it can catch fire. Is there any other good alternative for circulating air?

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.

Auto Tent HelpI’m looking to get a tent for my current single auto grow. I have 24inx24in worth of space and would like something maybe 55in tall or more. My space is clean and climate controlled already. Can I get by with a desk fan for nighttime ventilation without a duct system?Setup. Ventilation

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!

Subterranean fans on 24/7 Y or N?Was wanting everyone's thoughts on fans on the ground of my tent being on constantly, I want to try an keep airflow as well as make the stems stronger from the movement but always end up getting leaves that get wind damage. Luckily most tends to be where lolipopping will be.
