Ventilation set up
BostonGirlGrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago
I just got my first grow tent- a Vivosun 32x32x64 and a Vivosun 4” fan and carbon filter combo. It came with directions for the tent- but nothing on the ventilation system. What’s best as far as set up? Any tips, recommendations, or photos.? Does it need to vent outside?

If the carbon filter is a good one, you could vent the exhaust right out into the larger room area. Trying to get it outside if not near a window is a trick, unless you have an unused dryer vent. Mount the exhaust on an upper corner, as heat rises, and it will be easier for it to vent out.
You should also get another 4" fan for internal circulation, and place cattycorner to your exhaust fan, near the bottom of the tent.

I’m in a 1.2x1.2 with 600w hps and I was reaching temps of 32. Today I started extracting to another room and temps have dropped to 28 which is great. I used to extract to the room with a cfl lamp and it worked great because the cfl wasn’t that hot so the extractor helped keep temps up. If you check out my gelato diary you can see how I have my fans and extractor setup. Hope this helps.

It's best to pull in air on the lower end and blow out air on the higher end. When you set it up make sure there is no light leaks for the exhaust.

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?

Silent inline fan recommendation (Europe)Hello growers, I am looking for a somewhat silent fan for my 2x2. AC Cloudline is not readily available in my area.
I'd love some feedback on those : RAM Silent 125mm, S&P TD Silent 160/100 N, GENT ECco 100mm, TT Silent M 100, DALAP AP Quiet 100mm.
Thanks a lot 👍Setup. Ventilation

6" c' filter adapted to 4" Cloudline fan?Has anyone mated a 6" carbon filter to a 4" inline fan? AC Infinity is OUT of 4" filters, so considering getting a 6" and adapting down to 4" intake on AC Infinity Cloudline.
Seems intuitive, since reduced intake restriction would be preferable, with increased life as a benefit.Week 2

Humidity spike?Hi there,
I'm having weird issues with my humidity, it seems to be fine (40-50%) for 70% of the day, but the remaining 30% of the day it spikes up to 60-65%.
Temps stay reasonable in the 5x5 tent, I have ducted air-con in the house which is on most of the day.
Thank you!

I made a firebomb?Is it a fire hazard if 5v computer fan is jammed and the power is on for 2-3 weeks?
I'm far away from home and I have camera in my growbox. A tape has fallen to the fan and it is not rotating. Can it heat up so much that fire starts? Should I drive 1600km for that?

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.

Odour controlFirst indoor grow and is a stealth grow. I’m wondering if complete odour control is possible for one plant. One auto in the tent with a large carbon filter and appropriately size duct fan, walls are sucked in — I also have ona blocks to place around room during flower.Week 3

Carbon filter effectiveness at harvestHey everyone, just wondering if carbon filters actually get rid of 100% of the smell from the harvest point while drying? I can’t smell anything outside the tent at the moment but my plants haven’t all bloomed fully and I need to be prepared, can’t have the neighbours smelling!Setup. Ventilation
