How to vent grow tent?

rando_herberstarted grow question 4 years ago

Venting into large basement area separate from lung room. Averaging 65% RH in tent. How can I vent my grow tent out a century old red brick home's original basement windows discretely? Or, can I vent into an old (capped) chimney without removing the cap? Lung room is 6x10.

Hi mate, if its a proper cap then it should allow air through. Otherwise it will eventually fill the house. Condensation would be another issue as the air will cool by the time it gets up top. Good idea to have a reservoir to catch any water running down inside of flue pipe. If the water is acidic it may attack the flexible flue already in there and cause a riddor reportable event (if in use by any heating appliance) which will mean the hse and any other official they want to find blame as to why a gas flue deteriorated will be paying you a visit. Good luck and happy growing

Smell through filter exhaust The smell inside is quite strong and is coming through the filtered exhaust. Is this normal, or does it mean I need to replace my filter soon?

Maintaining VPD I've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

2x2 Circulating Fan What 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.

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?

Lights airstone c02 What light to plant distance would you set it at? The only test I've done is at 25 inches its stable at 80°f and 75% humidity. When I lower it to 18 inches, the tent read 85°f and 73 humidity. Other question I have is what's your favorite air stone(disk)? Lastly, add c02 yes/no

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

Intake Fans / Opening Lower Air Ducts or Back Flap?I'm researching intake fans and/or opening lower ducts to pull air in. I never worried about intake in the past, I just made sure my fan up top was sucking air out of the tent to create negative pressure. Thoughts on intake fans or having the back flap of the tent open? Thanks!

Sealed grow air scrub After adding a dehumidifier, evaporative cooler and c02 bag I decided to go ahead and do a sealed grow to better control the environment. Conditions look great. I’d like to know if I can loop my exhaust to recirculate the air to scrub it when things get stank? Video on the diary

Is an 8" isomax air 2 inline fan & a 8" mountain air too big for a 4x4 tent? I'm new & may of been sold stuff to powerful so the guy could make a few quid. I told him I needed it to be as quiet as possible! What turned up at my door looks like a turbocharged charge sheet!
