I'm sorry to say this but on a budget I think you may have to cut some holes... Still shouldn't let the smell out as long as you don't cut too many and the exhaust fan is always running....A better tent could also take care of your needs depending on budget. I hope this helps....I would say smaller fan but I think even that would fail with a 4 inch vent... happy growing ✌️👊

You might try forcing air into the tent using another fan. Need a lot of intake for a 6" fan. Is it variable speed?

Hello Lazer. The Harbinger says try to mount your fan inside your tent if at all possible. Or if you have too. You can leave the door open a crack but consider using a towel or something to cover it. If you absolutely have to cut holes do it on the side against a wall or somewhere you can put a make shift filter/cover over.

Hi @LAzerBEAN buy two 6 "to 4" reducers for the extractor, and use a 4 "tube. you can find this for sale at any large DIY store or growshop. there are plastic or aluminum, I prefer plastic.Good luck mate 👍

Ventilation set up 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?

What’s up guys me again😂 I’ve got my hps up and running and I’ve got the temperature under control by having my fan blowing directly at the light and I’ve added a oscillating tower fan. How can I keep the temps up when lights go off? Many thanks!

Won't Oscillate Anymore I was wondering what type of oscillating fans that everyone uses in small grow tents. I have been using the Vivosun fans and since they won't last I'm looking for alternatives. In case it matters I'm growing in a 27x27x63 MarsHydro tent.
