Just pull the inside duct as far out through the insulation as you can and run it through the vent hole from the middle. Run the duct through the inside of the sleeve and pull the insulation over the outside of the sleeve so it goes flush with the wall from the inside

Sorry I know that picture doesn't show much. After pushing the duct through and sliding the insulation over the tent sleeve go around the outside and take another piece and pull the duct work out from the inside (just push the insulation back, grab the duct and keep pulling it should give you several inches to work with.). Just tape the duct from the new piece to the duct that's coming through your sleeve from the inside

I can getter pics later on sorry if it didn't make any sense my battery is about to die
My eyes lit up with the first paragraph!! I got exactly what you mean and that is just simply amazing! I now know how to get larger sizes of acoustic ducting into my tent and manage to get it outside also without any lengths of non insulated pieces of ducting.

Thanks! I am always amazed at the new things I learn every day on this site!! But I have to say this is one of the rarer bits of info. Not heard this way of managing it. I could easily get 6" ducting in my tent now!

Yeah I've had a really hard time tying to figure put what to do with my ventilation. I have a 435 cfm 6" hurricane inline that I've had for a month but haven't used BC I was in a closer. I just set my new tent up yesterday and I love it. I have my intake coning from an air conditioner
IMG_20130803_230455.jpgIMG_20130803_230657.jpg And my hood has plexiglass so my fan just pulls the air through the open side of the hood and out the tent. I think I'm gonna take the air conditioner line and run it straight to my hood, and then get a cheaper fan for the exhaust side of the hood. Then I could use my big fan and attach it to a carbon filter, I'll probably run it out of the ceiling there's a flap.

But I like how right now the air conditioner pulls fresh cold air from outside and puts it in my tent, but with my new bulb and ballast it still gets like 85 in there way hotter than my closet 400 metal halide got

do you have a setup i can see?
sure ..... i am running one cool tube in this one thrusday friday i get my second in
IMG_20130805_022813[1].jpg regural flexie ducting here
IMG_20130805_022818[1].jpg u would take it up to here then put that connector between the inside and outside
IMG_20130805_022826[1].jpgand u would connect it to the insulted ducting here outside the tent
IMG_20130805_022832[1].jpggoes to the fan and out the back
IMG_20130805_022848[1].jpgand u vent it outside .........i got one of those worklights removed the reflector cut a 7 inch hole in it then taped the ducting to that and then the hole thing to a honeywell window fan and that adds extra suck ........plus from the outside it all dark

IMG_20130805_022857[1].jpgsheet with some cardborad up to act as a light blocker (sheet has been there for more then 11 years guy house curtains)

IMG_20130805_022903[1].jpgmy intake since the fan sucks on the left my intake is on the right and hence why the cardborad to block the light more .......u look from outside it is a fan in a window

hey man we got to start someplace...........u did more then alot of ppl could of on own and figured parts out ..............i done little ducting work before as side job back in my teen years

but if u fallow what i showed........u will look like a pro and when u are done for the season the break down will be quick ............just use that connector for the part tho the tent ..............u need 2 extra hose clamps

if u like next time my light is on a off cycle i will pull the part that is hooked to the window fan out and take some better pics so u can look and copy it ............

stakes ? for what

good job happy u got a female ............rem the first week of flowering u give half grow half bloom becuase she is going to start to strech out

the last thing i said was just a good luck statement ............odds of getting one to bend the top cola over is low for us noobs .........i think that is hydro and 1000watts to do it and the right strain

how many do u have going........ u got one make sure u keep checking any others to look for males and remove them if u get some (u should grow it out side and collect the pollen for seed making later)

u have now...... now stay calm and do not go cray with tring to figure out what is best to get the most just start one idea and run it to the end make notes and do the next ..........it is what we all do .............the most important thing do not jump the gun and cut the plant to soon it flowering today (check the strain info and get a rought idea how many weeks/days it has to go before ripe) and then around that day u need to look take a picture and get a judgement call for maximum goodness

oh on here u can post pics and talk about it since we really have no idea who u are and the mods are not greedy assholes that can be gotten to with right price (good mods thank u ) ..............but ppl on the outside shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh u have nothing they ask why u are happy football is starting soon (or some excuse that fits u) shut up they do not need to know untill it is all done and u got them stoned on it ........that is bragging time

u have soil...............order this box ..............the go box

this stuff is organic and is made for soil ...........u just mix it up then apply it to the soil the rest of the work is done by the soil

i do not like fox farms feeding stuff sinnce techinally it is chemcial so those little micbros in the soil die off since they are not getting feed ...............i am telling u set becuase i use it and aslong as u keep going u never have to PH the water ...............it has not failed me for 3 grows and i am about to order anouther box (the calmg+ goes first )

Gotta say, I'm partial to the gorilla tape as well. When I'm done working with duct tape my finger tips are still intact. Gorilla is serious shit, it bonds to skin and just about anything else. Plus has a higher tensile strength. But be careful it will bond and remove paint, skin, it'll even remove a layer of wood if you let it sit for 8 hours

here man the answer u are looking for is this thing


that is what goes tho the passage in the tent u tie off into that ...................inside the tent u can use the standard flexible stuff..........it is only outside the tent u worry about heat transfering to the air that it is sucking in

I wish I would've seen this post yesterday justugh you know everything! I got the connector piece justugh suggested in his response but I had to figure that out on my own after getting irritated and frustrated, my tent is properly ventilated now and I was able to keep my temp at 81
