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 4 years 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.

Speed of outgoing TD SilentDo you adjust the ventilator speed over time? I have a TD Silent with 5 possible speeds and keep the lowest speed at night (so I can sleep) and on 3 or 4 during day to be sure. Is there a trick to find the best yet lowest speed?Setup. Ventilation

Slowing a two speed inline fanCan 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?Setup. Ventilation

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!Setup. Ventilation

Grow tent TemperatureI have a 90cmx90cmx60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED Grow Light inside.. How much will an extraction fan and carbon filter bring down the temp inside? In this heatwave my tent is running at 33 deg C, no plants seeded yet. Will the fan be enough or should I get a cooler?Setup. Ventilation

Cooling whilst using humidifier outside a small grow tentI have a small 90x90x60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED. Heat levels are crazy and running a small humidifier with ice blocks inside the tent along side extraction isn’t cutting it. Could I buy a bigger humidifier, keep it outside the tent duct it in to keep it cool?Setup. Ventilation

Do you think this is a better position for carbon filter so it can have better airflow or is it more important to scrub air from the top and have 2 90 degree bends?
I'll probably try this in my next grow.
Pic with drying plants is setup from before with 2 90 degree bends.
