6" c' filter adapted to 4" Cloudline fan?
lateKdFstarted grow question 4y ago
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.

go for it.. The only thing with larger filters is extra cost.. but you are right in that the life cycle of the Carbon would in theory be a bit longer and the filter would be less restrictive. When I was at the grow store we had some Massive size carbon filters.. And really the only thing we would recommend against is the other way around.. Ie a 4 " filter with a 6" fan would cause extra stress on the fan. Also I have an Ac Infinity and it's a boss setup.

AC infinity is great, but there isn't that much difference between brands honestly. It's all just charcoal and a cylinder. I would get a different brand before trying to adapt like that.

I’ve thought about doing the same thing...it would work! Go for it! Just get the adapter from Home Depot! Keep us posted ✌️🏼❤️🌱

Yeah it would work but you would need to buy an adapter 4 inch to 6 inch to connect the filter and fan together.
I use 6 inch AC infinity fan with an adapter to a 4 inch rhino filter . That's not recommended but it hasn't failed me yet in a year and half. Can also get some good negative pressure in a 3 x 3 which helps me control the heat and humidity better .

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?

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.
