Can a carbon filter be too "big" for an exhaust duct fan?
fuckitimhighstarted grow question 3 years ago
Is it fine to use a carbon filter that can handle twice the capacity of the airflow my fan can produce? Or will the fan have trouble ventilating the tent then?

As long as your carbon filter can handle your airflow your good. If it can handle more then it will be better on your fan as it will not have to work as hard to push the air through it.
Carbon Filter CFM > Fan CFM = good to go

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?

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.

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?

I'm still worried because the temperatures still haven't dropped this afternoon, it rose to 33 degrees and I tried, as you see in the videos, putting two fans or one big one and nothing.
Do you recommend turning on the light at night in the morning and how would it be to change t

High humidityHello. Even with a dehumidifier and a 24-hour extractor, the humidity is still above 70% and one of the plants is almost in the flowering period. Can I add expanded clay on top of the vase to see if it lowers the humidity or putting more perlite will solve this? Thanks.Other. General questions

Smell problemI have a small tent from airontek, not the best in quality with a carbon filter and extractor inside the box, but the smell outside is too strong. When using carbon filter do i have to expect to have (almost) no smell or maybe Im doing some mistakes? The smell is very strongSetup. Ventilation

High humidity in the morningI’m having a very hard time coping with humidity (goes up to 85%), since I physically cannot get the airflow outside my house for various reasons. I open the window each morning, but could it lead to rottening in the late stages of flowering? Thanks for your replies ;)Week 9

Is high humidity at night bad for cannabis?During day, I can maintain the grow room temperature to 75-77'F and humidity 55-65%. But at night, temperature raised up to 77-80'F and humidity up to 70-80% because I closed vents and air condition. Could this effect my plants in long term? Should I open vents at night also?Setup.

Luckily most tends to be where lolipopping will be.

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!
