Now getting condesation in my tent when I've added this duct to a pipe exiting the house? Am near harvest too.

RichBud5started grow question 4y ago

Didn't have an issue with condensation inside the tent before, now that I've attached the duct to a pipe going out i'm getting condensation inside... Does the set up look right? I've hooked up to a smaller tent too via a T. Could it be pressure?

I think your T and extra slack in your line is reducing your ventilation in your big tent. Too much resistance in your airflow and so you aren't pulling out the humidity you might have before. If you have to vent both tents in the same line try a Y instead of a T. At least then they won't be fighting each other, though it might not totally fix the problem.

For each 90 degree bend you make is around 20% reduction on your fans capacity. And try making smooth transitions in the ducting, so the air is not fighting its way trough. Smooth pipes also help.

Ventilation Setup for Smell Attenuation Is this setup ok? Since the air tent will be recirculating i think the smell will be atenuated. I haven't seen other growers with this setup (I'm a newbie though), so I wonder if there's something wrong with it.

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

Grow Tent/Room setup in the basement - dehumidifier or humidifier needed?I’m planning a small grow setup in my basement and have a room that’s holding a steady 17–18 °C (62–64 °F) with about 55–58% relative humidity. My plan is to vent the exhaust from the grow box straight outside through an existing duct. Will I need a de- or humidifier? Thanks!

Fan vs Fanless LEDs How effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soon

Best way to keep a tent in the loft cool Cooling the loft... so I've got my tent in the loft, I have a 4" inline extracting from the tent and a 6" inline feeding air into the loft.

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.

Should my inline fan run perpetually?I read it's important to exchange the air in your grow area once per five minutes. Because I read that, I've had my inline exhaust fan running in my tent since the beginning of my grow. Is that right?
