Woah woah woah... wait one second.... did... did you build that grow tent inside of another box you built? So it’s a box, in a box, in a garage? Broooo....

He did... and double filtering is SO FUCKING EASY. Filter in tent exhausts to trash can which has another filter running inside it at a higher speed than the one in the tent. No smell what so ever.

DRAWN TO SCALE: 1'X1' = 1 BLOCK
You’re not guna like this. But I think ya screwed the pooch here bud. If you’re doing anything more than like 2-3 runs in this space; you may as well tear down and reuse materials... here’s what I drew up so you can reuse most of the materials. You could insulate the walls against the garage, if you were that desperate, and run all electrical and ducting through the walls.
in that electrical/accessory room, you build your double (or even a triple) scrubber leading to a normal household exhaust into the garage. Put your equipment and some shelving in there too; you’ll be able to build a beautiful and very quiet scrubbing system and then you won’t have any wasted space in the vegetation or flower rooms. Put reservoir in there for balanced Ph / distilled water. Also, this gives your garage space to put a car in it AND allows for expansion of grow room by up to another 6’. +++ Whamo! You’re grow room is entirely undetectable..
There is a toilet, water heater and a sink top right corner. My tent would not fit there. And i would need to build way more walls than now. it is good on paper but i dont need that kind of a lungs. Also like the backwall there is no insulation so i would need to build every wall. I Get the same result in that box.
I still could build that fake wall structure if i want.

Dude... you’re talking about how you’d have to build more walls than necessary.... you built 8 walls and two ceilings in a box within a box... so block out a little space for the water heater and toilet and move the room closer to door... I’m sorry bro, but idt you necessarily know what you’re talking about...
wish you the best, but there is in no way That you built thisright. That’s why majority of people areflaming you... you could over double your grow space and use less materials and have a more organized grow space, but you built a box... in a box...in, what is essentially, another box... that’s just pointless.
GL; make sure you post some pics when you get the room finished.

40% humidity is not a problem at all. I suspect it will be higher, unless he invests in a quality dehumidifier or he lives in a very dry climate.

Should’ve used a big enclosed utility trailer so if needed you could hook up and drive off.

I wanna know how you’re going to cool it.
What’s your climate like ? Daytime/nighttime highs/lows and humidity on average ?
sorry for all the posts, I’ll STFU now.

What’s the trash can doing other than concealing the fan and filter ? Noise reduction ?

.. lol.... its a double scrub setup. you have carbon filter in tent having airflow pull in and push out the tent into the garbage can and then another one hooked up to the inside of the gabage can and have it force air through the top. you can triple it by adding another duct to a final outside filter as well. but thats completely unnecessary... just like building a box in a box in a box.
I built 5 walls and there is budbox tent inside wich cant be placed no other way than this to my garage
No need to sorry about it. Very north. Sweden norway axis. I dont really know about basic humidity, but i will invest in a machine if i need to. In here northern parts of the world is -30c cold climate in the winter so that is another reason why i wanted to build that shitfuckingugly box. I may have to use cotton or something in the walls. I have large electric heater which is wired trough my daylight contactor NC heads. So it will immediately pop on after lights go out

Its acting as a lung if I understand correctly. The scrubbed tent exhaust dumps into the trash can, before its exhausted a 2nd time by the next fan/filter running at a higher speed. I guess you are asking why not just hook up the 2nd fan/filter inline to the first and skip the trash can? Im not 100% sure either but Im guessing its more effective and helps keep negative pressure by doing that way?

I believe the filters are made to pull air through them rather than to push air through them so your trash can allows the second fan to pull air through the filter.

100% of the air from the tent that has been filtered once gets filtered again by the filter in the trash can. This guys biggest worry is smell and it has always been one of mine as well even though its legal here i dont want my house smelling like theres a dozen rotting skunks in it. He is building rooms inside of rooms inside of rooms so that he can filter, re filter, and re re filter the air.... you dont need an entire room to do that a trash can works just fine. Its a lot like a multi stage water purifier...water goes through a filter.....then another filter....then another filter.....then another filter.....then another filter...........................
