tent pressure
Buddy_Bloomstarted grow question 3 years ago
i have a positive pressure in both tents because i have an AC plugged on my intake to manage the temperature inside the tent easier. Can it be a problem for my grow?

Yes it can be a problem. You want negative pressure to make sure that all air gets pushed out after it has gone thru your carbon filter. positive pressure will push out air where ever it has lowest resistance. eg cable holes, opening of the door etc etc.
Also, not as important if you have a premium tent..
negative pressure also helps with giving the tentpoles a uniform pressure , the tent becomes more stable and it also keeps poles staying attached to one another

If the tent walls are blowing out (positive pressure) it means that your extraction isnt freshening you up as often as it should be - more air is going in to the tent than is being drawn out. It would be wise to get a bigger extractor or you could end up higher rh, more smell, higher temps, stagnant air pockets etc. etc. - basically you could get all the things happening that you have an extractor system to solve in the first place. Is your intake fan stronger than your out? If so, switch them over and it might sort it out.

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?

Cardboard box method for dehumidifierHi 👋 can anyone tell me what success they’ve had using the cardboard box method for housing their dehumidifier? My unit is heating up inside the tent so much as it works harder during flower to keep humidity levels lower. Before I make the switch I wanted some opinions?Setup. Ventilation

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? ThanksSetup.
