air inlet ?
Hou_Stonestarted grow question 2 years ago
I have a 100x100x200 cm chamber with a 205 CFM extractor.
But I don't understand what is needed for the air inlet.
leaving a hole open at the bottom with nothing is enough ?

passive intake "should" be 3x the of the opening (area), i beleive is the recommendation. if less it's just a little more strain on the exhaust. (passive just means no fan pushing it.)
so, one of those mesh openings or 2 is usually enough for a tent. if you don't have those open 2-3 same-sized port holes, though with no mesh that lets in more dust and such..

Thank you for your answers.
finally i ordered a 6 inch / 350 CFM extractor my 100x100x200 cm chamber has 2 holes at the bottom and 3 holes at the top.
I'm thinking of adding a dust cover.
so you think i should leave a hole at the bottom open with a diameter of 4 inches? no fan?

Put your open slot towardsa wall so no light leaks, and it can still draw air in. You can leave a lower widow open or put in a piece of pipe to hold a duct slot open. You want the air to travel across the grow space.

What size diameter is the extraction fan? It's normally recommended to have a 6 inch extraction/ carbon filter setup to draw the air out, and leaving a smaller diameter hole at the bottom such as 4 inch would give you negative pressure that will draw fresh air into your area. This would also decrease the risk of any smell leaks if that was needed, this is currently the setup I run and is working just fine

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.

2x2 Circulating FanWhat is the best circulating fan for a 2x2 tent available on the european market?
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?

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?

So has anybody used these cordless mini dehumidifiers in their grow rooms? They’re small units that u charge over night every so often when the silica changes colour? My grow room is very small so an electric dehumidifier wouldn’t fit and I’m struggling to keep humidity downSetup. Ventilation

Temp tent issueNice! Thanks guys for the quick help! I’m also kinda sort of having a temp issue, I’m trying to make it the best I can, I’m way down south and the temp reads 86-88 a lot. If I blast the fans and humidifier it does get down but I’m worried about the electric bill going up.Week 1

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.
