Help with airflow. I've got an extractor and 3 circulating fans. Would a powerful inline fan be better than the 3 circulating fans
Aldo90started grow question a year ago
Question about environment here.
I've got a 5x5 tent. Total 46m area.
460m3/hr needed to be extracted.
Extractor fan is capable of taking 600m3/hr.
I did have in an inline fan but it's no longer working. Do I need another inline fan ?? I've opened two ports for passive intake

Sciolistic_Steveanswered grow question a year ago
passive intake should be 2-3x larger than the exhaust port... i've read that somewhere.. there's a rough guideline for sizing it.
it looks like your air exchange is fine. your duct used and drag from the passive intake ports will reduce CFM of exhaust, but you have plenty. Always good to have more than necesssary and run the intake/exhaust fans at 50% to reduce noise and increaase longevity.
it's probably possible to kill 2 birds with one stone with a well-positioned intake fan, but the circulating fans you have a slightly different function. since you already have 3 circulating fans and a powerful enough exhaust, you should be fine.

Would it be possible to have a closed loop ventilation system?My tent is in a garage that gets very cold, i need the fan running so i have constant negative pressure so there is no smell. Could i just have the fan extract back into the tent with a CO2 bag in there? Heat shouldn't get too high, and only other thing i could think of was CO2Setup. Ventilation

Can't vent exhaust fan outside, is this a problem?I have my 2x2x4 tent in a closet, with a 4" carbon filter inside the tent and a 4" inline fan outside of the tent, exhausting. But I have no way of directing the air to outside or even out of the room. Will this be a major problem for me? Room is otherwise AC'd via central air.Setup. Ventilation

How to deal with high (80% ) humidity during flower without dehumidifiersFirst time grower,
I'm in W-Europe and will have around 21-27°C, 75-85%RH in my 70x70x160cm tent, Not more humid than air outside it.
Getting a dehumidifier isn't an option for me.
Any advice on how to still manage through mid to late flower from someone who's in the same boat?Setup. Ventilation

Growtent Humidity controlHow do you control humidity/temp when using a grow tent? is it enough to put a dehumidifier in the same room as the tent and close the tent and just blow the air outside with a fan and tubing? Do u need an intake fan too? Or does the "good air" gets sucked in enough without ? THXSetup. Ventilation

Best way to keep a tent in the loft coolCooling the loft... so I've got my tent in the loft, I have a 4" inline extracting from the tent and a 6" inline feeding air into the loft. This works perfectly the majority of the time.. I can keep things at 25°c with ease. But on hot days the tents gets too hot....
