Grammar, then science.

ok then! that tells me what i need to know

How am I supposed to be able to help you if you can't communicate to people in a way that makes you understandable?

I'm guessing that someone somewhere at sometime, must have taken the time to explain to you that if you use poor grammar, that you will have a hard time getting what you want and need in life.

Firstly what prodigalsun is referring to is that its hard to understand what you're talking about when you don't use grammar and spell words correctly.

Ok here goes.

1.4x1.4x2=3.92m3

3.92x60= 235.2m3

235.2x1.25= 294m3/h for your exhaust fan to allow for once a minute air exchange with restrictive force of ducting and filter.

294+15% = approx 350m3/h of fan power to allow for your 600w light.


Keep your fan as an exhaust.

Your next upgrade when possible should be a 6" inline fan to help control temps better.

This is assuming you are in taking air from within the room your tent is in and exhausting it out of the room the tent is in.

yes thats correct ..and for one i dint go to school to do things propley for people to under stand we are not all clever you know ....and other people can under stand what im trying to say...and yes i got my exuast fan blowing out in my 2 house fans blowing araound in the tent ...need an intake really

i had a simmalir issue, i moved one of the desk fans i had to the out side, opened one of the vents at the bottom fully and then placed the fan right up against it. i then have the other fan sitting just inside the intake vent, blowing the aire arround the tent. This sorted my heat issues as a temp solution untill i get a proper intake fan

hope this helps

Do you have a hole for intake?

Seems to be working for you.

Me...I'd add an intake blower and balance it with the exhaust. I would do a few other things like add a source of co2 to the intake and run it in at plant level and keep the exhaust at canopy level or higher. The quickest and most massive crop I ever done I extracted the exhaust from a chimney vent of a wood burning stove, filtered it through a furnace filter and fed it to the intake. I utilize a pump up sprayer and foliar feed and clean with fresh water regularly. By the sounds of your question and other things you may not posess handyman skills but for those that do... For those that are sitting there thinking WHAT... Believe me, a bingo hall back in the 1970's was far more smokier. I also use charcoal(about 6 pieces stacked like fallen dominoes light one end per 64sq ft) and propane lanterns to generate co2, depending on the circumstances.

This is still difficult to understand.


Does your exhaust fan exhaust into the room with the tent inside it? If yes.
This will be adding to your heat. You should try to use ducting to get the exhaust air out of the room with the tent inside it.

Is your ballast inside the tent? If yes
Get your ballast outside your tent as this will reduce temps further.

Please try to be as explanatory as you possibly can. Please try to not use abbreviated words or text language as for the older ones of us on this site (its not full of kids) find it difficult to communicate in text language.

Yes they do show you how to connect everything up.

What they don't tell you is that if you exhaust your tent directly into your bedroom that your bedrooms temperature is going to increase which in turn will increase the temperature of the tent as the tent will draw in already warm air from within the bedroom.

There are a couple of ways around this.

Either cut a hole in your ceiling and run your exhaust ducting up into your attic.

Or.

Use ducting to send the exhaust out of the window.

This will mean that your warm grow tent air is sent away from your bedroom, keeping everything cooler.

Having an intake fan is not a "MUST HAVE" I've been growing for 4 years without using an intake fan. I utilise passive vents in my grow area but I do have a more than adaquate exhaust fan.

Reverse it.

Allow your exhaust out of the window and just open a few flaps on the bottom if the tent.

Then problem solved!!!!


Don't get me wrong I can understand what you're typing for the most part.

Its just things like "shur" when its actually "sure" same amount of letters in the word.


I work in education and the current trend for text language even in examination papers is just rediculous.

Lol. Old timers. I'm fucking 33.


Here's how it should go.

Inside your tent.
Filter - ducting - fan - ducting - out of tent to window.

Just open a few ports on the bottom of your tent.

That's it.
