ventilation Question

[B0ngman]

View attachment 1087811When cutting a hole in my wall for ventilation what size hole / venting should i cut. i have a gl 60 tent and i have no attic with a flat roof so i have to go out the wall. Thanks!

I don`t know how well that will work because the walls are Capped at the top and bottom.Just thinkin you still should still vent into the roof because the roof is probably vented.At Least It Should Be!!Good luck on your grow.Stay Happy,Healthy,and High!!

He is going to exit the building and exhaust outside I would imagine.

The hole should be slightly bigger than the diameter of your ducting. give yourself at least a 1/8" extra. You can then use a duct ring or caulk (preferably both) to seal the wall.

You could also use a outside dryer vent.

an outsider dryer vent would work pretty good but if i had a fan blowing air out wouldnt the vent be open all the time letting bugs and shit get in?

 

[B0ngman]

is there any kind of screen i can put in the ventilation

-bump for bug protection-

 

[upthearsenal]

there a screens out there that can catch the smallest of bugs

Pantyhose FTW

 

[B0ngman]

Alright cool thanks so I just figure out what size venting I need and match up a screen

 

[Serapis]

yep, use pantyhose and secure it to the end of the duct. Air will flow out and bugs can't get in. Get the queen size and you'll have spare material for later.

Alright awesome pantyhose it is

Awesome just got a package from nirvana and ordered my 8 bulb t5 ho setup
my closet being right next to the outer wall is a short distance for the ventilation, should i get a nice rated cfm fan or just stick to around 150 i dont want overkill i just want to make sure i can get all the heat out of my tent, and what size hole should i plan on putting into the wall, again all the help is greatly appreciated!

Is there any package deals with a fan and a carbon filter that would be sufficient for ny small vent and is it a 3 or 4" hole for ventilation

Awesome thanks bonzi any advice on what kind of system to use (like organic or dro/aero) would be good for this area

I'd do a 6" exhaust with a 4" passive intake just my 2 cents

 

[B0ngman]

Will a 6" fit in the top of the gl60 and that's a big hole

Don't worry I have already set up your room. I'll let you know how it turns out. In the mean time why don't you spend some time reading ALL the stickies.
