    4 day bud dryer for $40.

    I haven't read the whole thread but looked at the initial design, and instead of the inline fan you can also use a scrubber with a fan built into it. Foothill Filters sells a dryer box with a filer/fan built in but it is $150. They also sell the fan/filter combo separately, but it is more...

    grow box heat

    If you are using a commercial tent, every one I've seen is designed with the assumption that you are going to be using a scrubber+inline exhaust.

    do I leave my exhaust fan on?

    I have a fantech fr150 243cfm fan in a Homebox L (40"x40") with a 400w hps and I leave the fan running 24/7. It works great, pulls the sides or the tent in so I know there is good suction/airflow, and it's one less part I have to buy. Haven't had any issues so far, even when I was in veg and...

    600w in a homebox L?

    Thanks for the replies. Baz, thanks for the link. I checked out your journal and will probably stick with a 400w. The Homebox website also recommends a 400w for the L. Everything seems to be going well so I'd probably be much better off keeping it that way. "If it ain't broke, don't fix...

    600w in a homebox L?

    I am finishing up my first grow, was thinking of making a modification for my second grow, and am looking for some advice. I am currently using a pretty simple setup: Homebox L (40"x40") For exhaust/cooling I have a carbon filter attached to a 400w HPS cooltube attached to a Fantech FR150...

    Homebox exhaust into Central Air intake?

    Hi, Newbie here. I have an exhaust question. I am currently setting up a 400w hps cooltube setup in a homebox with a carbon scrubber and a Fantech FR150 (inline, 243 CFM) for exhaust. It is in my basement and I can put it close to my central air unit. Can I vent my exhaust into an intake...
