Looking here:

CLOUDLINE PRO T4, Quiet Inline Duct Fan System with Temperature Humidity VPD Controller, 4-Inch

Your source to create smart growing systems with components including advance grow tents, inline fans, clip-on fans, LED grow lights, and UIS™ controllers.

acinfinity.com

Max power draw 28w, so if you run it at half speed it will only be using about 14w... it's awsome for your electic bill!
EC fans are expensive to buy, especially if you you want wi-fi and smart features, but they are fricking awsome!

The wi-fi and smart features will have a power consumption overhead so your millage may vary....

The 4inch is actually for my propagation tent. I have the 6inch in my 2x4 which is rocking btw. Both probably overkill, but as you mentioned they still perfor. On low power, plus it saves me money!

I have heard good things about Cloudline. Is it pretty quiet? I run an 8 inch AC Infinity. It is way over kill for my 5 x 5, but I can run anytime of the year in Ohio. Have never run past the 2nd setting and it is very quiet.

Very quiet, both of them. My 20inch box fan is louder than my 6inch on level 10. I love the gear and customer service is top notch.

better to go bigger than needed and run it on lower power, IMO.

EC fans do get loud at full throttle, but still relativley more quiet than traditional fans like RVK's or whatever.

That's what got me with mine. How quiet it was at a low setting. It's rated something crazy like 820 cfm. Could collapse the tent ploes on high. Still old school adjust and maintain by hand.

I'm very grateful to be in a position to acquire these items. Security and privacy is top priority. Only from the jackers and haters. I would hate for someone to think I have more than what is there ya know? So whatever I have to do, to keep a low profile I'm in.

Totally agree with you there my friend. I'm 63 and most people would never suspect, but who wants it out in the open? I am stoked it's finally legal here.

I'm the same, very low key, small grow...
I can't speak for that brand, but I have the below, and at full speed it's loud, but I've never needed to run it at more than 50-60% speed.

Put it this way, my water pumps make more noise/vibration than my extractor fan.... and I'm just using un-insulated cheap ducting

Mammoth Juiced Pro EC Fan (6″)

• Airflow: 594m³/h
• Pressure: 500Pa
• Volume: 60dB
• Speed: 5000RPM
• Voltage: 220-240V

That's maximum speed though, Mines not very fancy, it just has a speed dial on it.

6" inline for 2x4?

-passive intake, be sure intake is around 3x the area of the exhaust fan. That would be two 6" passive intakes for a 4" exhaust (200 cfm ac infinity) -Note: if adding a filter/ screen the exhaust will no longer push the 200 CFM it is advertised to. This goes for the intake holes as well-- if...

As long as is does what you need and is quiet your good to go. Sounds like your pretty dialed in.

Some good info being passed around in here.

Question..how long does an exhaust fan last typically?

@420 Garden I'm shocked we are legal. I'm in the Cleveland area. Old guy like you..lol

A quality exhaust fan should run forever. I gave away some 16 year old Vortex fans, they ran fine. The newer ones are better designed for growing, lighter weight, better bearings, connected. I have 5 ac infinity 6 inch fans, I don't anticipate failure any time soon.

IKR on the legal side of things. Down in C-Bus a dispensary on day# 1 sold $310,000.00 of product. I am liking the 6+6 plant numbers. Makes me love autos even more.

Yeah basicaly they shouldn't ever realistacaly fail in your lifetime, unless abused/ run outside of spec.... the benefit of newer tech ones is they use less power, are more controlable, and don't make as much noise for a given rate of size/airflow.

Day 78
End of week 1 flower

Alright folks! We wrapping up the first week of flower. Couldn't be happier with the bounce back. Installed our high CFM kit and final trellis. BOO is a thirsty mothersucker woah! She took a gallon and ask for seconds! Will be going to 7 gallon pots next flower cycle.The FMFX will get watered in the am maybe. I would like to see her dry back a little extra this week to hopefully stimulate her roots. Word on the street the BOO doesn't stretch much so I laid the final trellis basically on them. We will make adjustments at week 3 defoiliation/pruning session. I will continue letting them grow into the light, they're making thier own power adjustments per se. Once the stretch is over we will make very small power increases to max them out. Very happy with the Dr Earth dry amendments, the seem to love it as well.

Real nice looking canopy you have there. Good work clearing out the foliage and getting good airflow to the bottom. It's about to get crazy in there. Keep up the good work!

Thanks I appreciate the support. Taking the little extra time to train and develop has paid off. I hope she stretch just a little more so I can splay those tops to catch more light. Training is king, sad I've waited this long to incorporate it into my grows.

Heck I still learn from every run. I think that is part of what keeps things interesting. Folks that have never grown before don't grasp how much work/fun goes into a successful grow. Researching, trying some techniques that others use. I laugh about thinking. What if we had the level of LED lighting when I was a kid?

If those are the old style s6 fans....it will say ac infinity in center of fan guard.....you can get free replacements and keep your old ones. New design has much more robust oscillation gears. New ones have the AC infinity logo in center of fan guard.

We were talking inline exhaust fans. In my experience, their oscillating fans are delicate. Slight mishandling can damage the gears. I have found vivosun exhaust fans more reliable in that regard. Nice if they've improved them but after the third one started clicking and getting stuck I switched.

My bad.
Yes they improved them and are replacing old models for free....I have a few of the Vivosuns and agree they were superior to old model AC's.
