First time grower

[Jonniebluefish]

First off, I’m not real bright and have a list of screw ups. But my current one is that I finally got the chance (i need a helper due to back) to set up a ventilation system With plants that have been vegging for too long without venting in a 4 by 8 Gorilla grow tent. I feel air going out The tent at the bottom. Is that right. I can’t act7ally see how the guy strapped it in.

could be right...depends on how he set it up. got any pics?

Im not sure if its a critical thing but ive always preferred to exhaust on top . Just always seemed logical since heat rises and your lights rise throughout the grow

 

[Soul Dwella]

could be pulling air from the top and ducted out the bottom tho....all depends on setup

The only air you should feel coming out of the tent should be your exhaust. Which should always be exhausted out of the top of your tent. Hot air rises so your Inline should be at the top, and your intake at the bottom.

I would be more worried about light leaks than air leaks. Your tent isn't going to be airtight, but light leaks could possibly make your plants hermie.

[/QUOTE thanks, folks. Not sure I can do photos better than this description. Feels more like air blowing out the bottom

 

[Soul Dwella]

not the best pics...lol is there a filter in this setup?

 

[Soul Dwella]

if so, where is it. Is the hot air at the bottom of the tent sucking into the tent, or blowing out of the tent? Check with one square of toilet paper to see where there is suck and where there is blow..

That's a max fan connected to tubing that is from the outside and to the outside of your tent. It appears you bypassed your tent.
