I have everything I need for the grow tent but nothing came with instructions. I have a basic idea on how set everything up form looking at other pictures but there is some stuff I cant figure out.

How do you hang the carbon filter in the tent? - Mine came wrapped up in a white cloth with 2 white straps holding the cloth on. You cant open up the straps at all as they are sewn closed. I can undo 1 of the bars on the tent and slide it through the 2 straps but I dont think the bars are strong enough tbh. Also do I leave it wrapped in the cloth or do I take the filter out of that?

Inline fan - I dont see anyway this would be able to be held up at all. Below is a picture of the inline fan and carbon filter I purchased. The fan looks different than the picture though as it came with a leather "sleeve" that fits around the fan.

Ducting - How do you get the ducting to stay connected to everything? (probably the dumbest question with an obvious answer im missing.)


I already have the tent itself put up and the light is already hanging in it. Its just down to hooking those 3 things up thats holding me back.

Thanks in advance everyone and if anyone knows of a guide it would be greatly appreciated.

I am not being a basher but if you google all those questions just as you are asking them you will get a lot of helpful stuff. Also google the questions than press images and you will also get photos of the exact way to do it. Good luck sounds like your first tent I am excited for you.

yeah lol it is my first tent grow and I think the problem is im so excited about it im rushing to get it started instead of taking my time like I usually do. My problem before was I was googling "how to set up a tent" instead of the individual stuff. Thanks for the reply.

stick fan either inside or out of the tent. run an exhaust i got mine out of man hole into roof try and suck heat from light little intake from the bedroom/room your growing in and use Duct tape 2 seal off ducting s. use a temp gauge measure temps and get the light fairly close if 1000w hang very far away.

ok with youre tent when youre finshed building the skeleton and put youre tent over you should have 4 bars. 2 straight and 2 that are straight but at the end should have extra small 3 /4 inch length attached that points a about 30 degree angle or so. ok youre straight one i use for the cf. you should have 4 in all with youre tent. 2 black straps to hold the fan in in-place and 2 to hold youre cf. thast if you run it inside.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have an air cooled ballast with air cooled reflectors. Can my set up be like this

Carbon filter into inline fan which runs into the ballast which has the air exiting the tent

You should run inside your tent carbon filter to cool tube then to fan outside of tent.

Ok I just hooker everything up and before I germinate anything I want to make sure im good to go. Below is a picture of how someone suggested to hook it up. I have the carbon filter running to the ballast which runs to the fan which blows everything out the tent. Would this work?

I have a 5' x 5' by 6.5' height tent and am wondering what fans I should get. Should I get one of those that sits on a desk or should I get one of those big square ones that go in the window?

Also attached is a a picture of the metal thing the light plugs into. Where do I put this thing? Just lay it on the floor of the tent or should I set it outside? The floor the tent is on is made of concrete if that matters.
