ventilation

Hello all, I am starting my fourth grow and this time am trying to upgrade. I am planning on using a 600w mh for veg and a 1000w hps for flower hood is being used. (Finally retiring CFL'S :)) Growing in 100% coco. My main questions are how big of an area can 1, 1000w hps cover. I'm thinking a...

Best 6" no longer than 16" carbon filter?

Hey fam!! I finally received my 24x24x48 grow tent in the mail and I had a quick question regarding the location of where my tent would be and possible ventilation issues. So the tent is inside my closet (see attached photos) and there is about a foot of space between the walls and my passive...

I'm new to this forum, let alone any forum so if I'm not in the right forum room I'm sorry! Okay here it is. I want to use fresh air from outside to enter my sealed grow area since my basement air is stagnant! My basement isn't finish and we don't use that part of the basement at all therefore...

Hi everyone, s'all good? TL;DR Worried about probable temp. & humidity issues once I start my first grow. Live in a tropical climate So I'm fixing to start my first ever grow op in either early/mid December or early January. Today I went and got the tent, a Secret Jardin DR90, and my...

Room is approximately 10x10x10 Sealed room ..well maybe a slight leak at bottom of the door, that is fixable if necessary I guess. Ac unit available Warm climate most if the year Approx 33C outside mostly at max What cfm of fan ? Use AC ? sealed room or vented? DONT WANT TO USE CO2 3 600W...

Hey guys new to the forum but this is kind of urgent. I'm growing In a attic with 300 watt leds and I can't seem to figure out how can I get ventilation and exsaust in my room. I have a window that is covered up with thick trash bags and reflective sheets (think it's called milar or something)...

I'm planning on setting up 3 4'x9'x9' rooms. Each next to eachother on their long sides. I want the rooms a little bit bigger than the light footprint to give me some elbow room to work with hence the room sizes. 2 rooms will have 2 315 sun system lec each with Co2 alternating veg/flower...

Hello, I looked for a thread on this matter, but didn't find one. I apologize if I missed it. I am planning my first time grow. It will be a small personal sized closet grow, so ventilation and air circulation shouldnt be difficult. I'm looking for cost effective methods that don't require...

Thanks for taking your time to read this! I am a second time grower and wanting to take my cultivation skills to the next level! I have an open closet that I've decided I will turn to a grow room! Dimensions are 5'x2'x7' The graphics I have included are to exact scale of room and pots. My main...

I'm trying to figure out a good place to vent air cooled hoods and I have a window identical to this one in a perfect spot, it opens nicely exposing the screen I was thinking if I can easily pop off the window/door portion leaving just the rectangular hole I feel I could build something around...

Hi, I haven't posted on here in a very long time so I apologize if I am unclear or this was posted somewhere else and I couldn't find it. I have a Can Fan MAX 6" hung on bungees (for vibration dampening) in a converted solid wood wardrobe. It is major overkill, but I had it and it is very quiet...

Hello, sorry for posting another thread but I have a different question. Could I use a regular 6" kitchen extractor fan as both the intake and exhaust? (One one way for intake, and another the other way for exhaust) This is the fan I have been looking at...

Hello! I'm a newbie, just started growing. I have a grow box set up in a wardrobe lined with fire blankets and mylar, and one 400w hps and reflector, planning on getting a couple of led lamps, and I have a 6" fan as well. I know I will get a lot of stick for this but traditional ventilation is...

Hey everybody, What do you think? Should the intake for air cooled lights be filtered? Not the intake for the grow room itself, only air that is cooling the reflectors. If so, would a bug screen be sufficient or is a more heavy duty filter like Phresh or HEPA needed?

Hey all, So I'm considering room layout. Only problem is, I would like to keep all equipment located inside of the grow room itself. I'll be using an open-room style ventilation. Air cooled lights, with a separate intake and exhaust. Can I somehow place the intake fan inside my room, while...

Included a photo of my half assed cheap cupboard.. There is a 12" ruler ( for size) sitting on top of a Mars 300 full spectrum.. I will add another light soon... Will I need an intake fan ? Or will a 4" extraction fan on a carbon filter be enough to suck air into the intake ducting ? I will run...

This is an embarrassing question, but I'll ask it anyway. This is for a 3' x 3' x 6' tent with a 6 inch exhaust sock. How exactly do you setup an exhaust with an air filter? Can the fan be mounted and then connected directly to the filter which in turn connects to the exhaust sock? Or do I need...

Hi, May I ask for some advice? I am going to cultivate MM as a licensed cultivator in Maine. I plan on using soil so as to learn the trade so to speak. I have the opportunity to build a 4x8 (possibly 6x8) with 7’ ceiling grow space in the middle of my basement. My basement is 60 degrees in...

So I've decided to get a new 48"x24"x60" grow tent and I'll have 3 small plants growing under 3 125 watt CFLs. I have a little experience growing but only one plant at a time so now that I'm moving up I'm not sure what to do about ventilation. I also need to get rid of smell so could I just put...
