Connecting intake fan to my tent's mesh for most efficient ventilation
Txredrumanswered grow question 3 years ago
You could put a flange inside the tent facing out, tape the edges of the flange flat to the tent inside wall with duct tape and attach duct hose to the flange with hose clamp + tape. Or just skip the flange and tape the edges of the hose with duct tape but it might not be secure.
If you forego the flange, you could push the hose in through the tent and run a small bbq skewer or stick the size of a bottle rocket stick across through the hose like a line going horizontally through a circle (the vent duct) then tape the stick/skewer and hose edges flat to the tent sealing all cracks. This would prevent the hose from falling loose easily without obstructing airflow. This application is literally what duct tape is for no matter what you do, seal it good for those odiferous runs.
Best luck

I would get a piece of rigid foam or heavy cardboard and cut a hole in the center for your fan. The foam/cardboard can be over size so it extends to the floor to support the weight. Then you can tape, sew or use a few zip ties to hold it in place.

You have a roubd port at the bottom of the tent to put the intake fan in - if you position it correctly it will just sit in the round port and suck air in to the tent - put a pair of tights over it or grt a bug mesh to stop it blowing pests in.

6" Fan in 3x3 TentI bought a 6" fan for a 3x3 Vivosun tent and I'm noticing a good mount of negative pressure even at the lowest setting. Do I need to get a 4" fan? There are some vents on bottom sides of the tent. Can I use those to lessen the pressure? Thanks!Setup. Ventilation

Carbon FilterHello growers!
I'm thinking of removing carbon filter's outter fabric.
It affects my exhaust dramatically.
Does anyone knows if this is going to make it insufficient or ruin it?
(i think that this layer prevents humidity entering carbon particles)

How to Lower HumidityThe weather outside was really wet and chilly for days here and the humidity is about 60% at this point. Without a duct fan, how can I lower the humidity in the tent? I'm using several small fans right now. I plan to get a duct fan when I can, but I need something until thenWeek 25

RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?I'm having a issue with my grow - RH won't go above 20%.
With a humidifier inside, full power. Temperatures are between 21 and 25c and I can only think the air extractor is taking too much air out of the grow, as in the night, with lights and fan off RH rise to +80%. Any ideas?Week 3

Smelly room, with filter should I be able to smell flowering buds?I have a 3x3 grow tent with a 4” fan and filter. The filter is in the tent and exhausts into the room. I taped the filter to the line and line to the fan so no pinhole leaks. The fan is rated for 198 cfm. I have it on low because when it’s high the smell is worse.

Temps to high....i thinkHi, newbie here, I'm really struggling to keep temps below 30°C. Outside temps are not helping all, i have my extractor on full, air circulation fan on full, both flaps open, shed door even open lol and my light is turned down to 250 watts, which probably isn't high enough!

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 soonSetup. Lighting
