Grow QuestionsCan a carbon filter be too "big" for an exhaust duct fan?

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

Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

How do I know my filter is still running ok? can it wear off in just a month?I have a vulcan carbon filter for a tiny tent. It runs 24hrs a day for the last month. Now, the smell coming out of it is not neutral anymore (not strong cannabis), but it is a bit heavy and I'm getting paranoid. How do I know my filter still runs fine? High umidity is a factor?

How do you deal with the humidifier in hydro ?So I bought a dehumidifier as advised but now the room gets hotter (Had to setup an extractor to pull the hot air and now I have no intraction) and during the day EC goes up of 0.1 or even 0.2 (from 1.8 to 1.9 or 2). I suppose there are more nutriments because of dehumidification
