Extraction fan running
Screwiestarted grow question 4 years ago
I have a Ambient Q60 tent... When I cover up the air intake holes during light off hours and want to leave the extraction fan running, the air from the whole tent looks like its being sucked out. There's no room for air to get it. Am I doing something wrong?

You must have an intake opening if your running an exhaust fan, if you don’t you will slowly implode and collapse your tent. Lol If your worried about light getting in your intake opening during dark periods you can put something in front of it like a cardboard box with the box opening against your tent and covering the intake opening. This will block any light but still allow your tent to intake air through the box. Hope this helps, cheers 💨

You must have a hole at the bottom and let it open . you can't cover all intake holes and leave exhaust on , how the air gets in ?

it's not wrong, but it's not necessary either, maybe it will pull some trichomes out of the plant, but i doubt it will work better than if you have your intake fan running. Hope this helps ! 🚀

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

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

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!

I made a firebomb?Is it a fire hazard if 5v computer fan is jammed and the power is on for 2-3 weeks?
I'm far away from home and I have camera in my growbox. A tape has fallen to the fan and it is not rotating. Can it heat up so much that fire starts? Should I drive 1600km for that?

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.

Carbon filter effectiveness at harvestHey everyone, just wondering if carbon filters actually get rid of 100% of the smell from the harvest point while drying? I can’t smell anything outside the tent at the moment but my plants haven’t all bloomed fully and I need to be prepared, can’t have the neighbours smelling!Setup. Ventilation

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much?Seeing a ton of mycelium or fungus on my medium. It is covering the entire pot. I am having problems with air circulating but have a fan at the bottom and up top, just nothing oscillating. Is this going to be a problem? What can I do?

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it?
Thanks all
