Switched out fans for my grow today, swapped out the old big box fan for a smaller more compact fan that I can keep inside of the box at all times. I figure this would be good in many ways, help air circulation, and I heard the stems like a little air flow.
My fan as of now, I haven't done any customizations yet.
My new fan, just another shot of it.
Here is
a link to what I am considering to do with my fan when I upgrade to a 400 watt HPS Lighting System. (the 3rd pic) This is what I plan on doing with my new fan eventually, looks pretty well done. should I just keep my fan inside my grow box? My grow box is two 20 gallon Rubbermaid containers stacked on top of each other one down and one up to form a box, my lights are in the top rubbermaid, plants in the botton rubbermaid. Lights are as close to plants as possible without causing any problems, should I change my setup to make the fan take it air from outside the box and blow it back into the box or should I just leave the fan inside the box just circulating the air inside. Should I cut a whole in the side of my box the size of the fan where the sides of the fan can pull in fresh air from outside the box and blow the fresh air into my grow box? Any suggestions, I am a new grower and I could use all the help I get. I can't wait to get my next student loan for college this coming fall semester so I can get a real deal light and setup. I plan on getting the 250 dollar deal from HTG Supply, you get a complete grow kit with organic soil, 400 watt HPS with ballast and bulb and all, ready to plug in, as well as 9 growing bags (2 gallons each bag) and Fox Farm Nutrients, everything you need but the seeds! I think they even include a timer, not sure though, anyways when I get that I will be experience a little with the grows I am going with my CFL/Low Watt (70) HPS Mixture Grow Box. My plants are growing pretty good, but I would love it when I get my HPS and I can grow more plants at the same time and actually get a yield decent enough to keep my personal use free, except for electricity and a few minors.
