Air intake / extraction

Dominguezzzstarted grow question 5 years ago

Hello 👋❤️ I have 240x120x200cm Jardin tent with 2x 600hps . For air extraction I have prima klima pk 160l (one speed) with carbon filter 800m³/h for intake pk 150l 760m³/h. Question is how should I run the ventilation on lights on/off?

Run your ventilation 24/7. Lights out with plant transpiration and cool temps can raise humidity in a sealed room into the 60 to 80% range which can lead to all kinds of no good. Unless your in an exceptionally dry room, keep those fans cranking. If you have a speed control, you could slow it down slightly during lights out if it's a noise issue (growing in your bedroom closet)

Darkwarsongs you, are right! You recommend any oscillating fans to blow from side to side? Or is one pk 150 enough?

I would run the ventilation 24/7... When the lights go out it gets humid and better to just keep the air moving right?

High humidity The humidity hit 63% today in my tent for 4 hours while I wasn’t home I had the exhaust fan on full blast and 2 oscillating fans in the tent once I got home I turned my dehumidifier on it’s down to 45% now will it be ok or do I need to watch for bud rot?

couple quick questions Do I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights? Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time? should I ever have the exaust fan off?

Carbon Filter Hello growers! I'm thinking of removing carbon filter's outter fabric. It affects my exhaust dramatically. Does anyone knows if this is going to make it insufficient or ruin it? (i think that this layer prevents humidity entering carbon particles)

Smell at 2.5 weeks?Is it normal for a Quick One to smell strongly at 2.5 weeks? I only have one plant, and moved it out of my bedroom to the spare room where there are fewer clothes. My partner could smell it downstairs and the plant only just got its 5 tipped leaves.

6" Fan in 3x3 Tent I bought a 6" fan for a 3x3 Vivosun tent and I'm noticing a good mount of negative pressure even at the lowest setting. Do I need to get a 4" fan? There are some vents on bottom sides of the tent. Can I use those to lessen the pressure? Thanks!

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 down

AC/humidifier So I did get a humidifier/AC. Super cheap, $40. It seems to work. I’ve gotten it at 79-82 degrees and 45-50% humidity. I just have to keep filling the water part up every couple hours but I work from home in my room where it’s in my closet

Temp tent issue Nice! 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.

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?
