Carbon filter sleeve needed?
RedArmC3POstarted grow question 2y ago
I use the carbon filter on the exhaust side. On the intake side, I have a dust screen mesh.
The tent is quite clean so that’s why I don’t see the need of the pre filter. Would also probably load the inline fan a bit too.
What’s you thought?

Inside/outside your cover HAS to be kept on
Intake (sucking air into tent from filter the sleeve stops any dust and so on blocking the charcoal and helps perserve good air flow. (Also, if it gets really dusty, quick wash, not 100% needed, but extra clean airflow can only be good)
If you're using it as a negative seal. (Same applies. You'll see a build up of yellow dust, real grimy, also, with exhaust "filter inside tent" the sleeve will stop any excess moisture and clogging up ur charcoal with mold and such.
So, all in all. Keep in on.

as long as there's a mesh before it goes through carbon, kinda the same thing.
becarful, some of those you have to switch the neck around to operate in opposite airflow direction.
it will work better from inside and with negative pressure in tent, if the smell is very important for you.

I use mine(I use panyhose over my intake duct/lighttrap). Stuff can always get in while you have the door open. Then again, unless you're repacking the thing it's life span is only a year or two typically anyway.

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....Setup. Ventilation

Humidity issues near floweringSo I installed an intraction (145 m3/h speed1) and aluminium foil on the pots but humidity is still hight like 75% when nightime and the lowest is 65%. Probably the water evaporates by the pots (drip, clay pebbles). I have no more ideas. Do I have to buy a deshumidifier? Thx !Week 6

Slowing a two speed inline fanCan I run a fan speed controller with a dual speed inline fan? My 4” two speed fan is slightly too powerful for my grow room. I’d like to slow the fan slightly but I have heard the these types of controllers don’t work with two speed fans? Any advice or what to buy to do the job?Setup. Ventilation

Risk of bud rot with these conditions?My tent keeps bouncing between 55-65% throughout the day during mid-late flower stage. Staying between 24-26 C. I have two fans moving air in the tent and the plants are we defoliated. An in-line fan is pulling air out. How much at risk am I for bud rot? Thanks!Buds. Other

How can I reduce the heat in my 5x5 tent (650w light bar/6" ac Infinity and a ton of fans) without AC? Do I have to leave tent open?5x5 tent is in a kind of lung room (utility room) that stays around 20C/68F. The tent always seems to be at 30C86F with lights on. Ive added and moved fans, opened more intake vents. I have AC, but its -25C/-13F outside. Id like to drop the daytime temp 5ish degrees for flower.Setup. Lighting
