I actually have a rotating tower fan. Im just not shure how to vent at when closed while preventing light leak

definitely use the tower fan for in tent circulation.

as for my cheapest option for preventing light leak. Clip fan as exhaust blowing up. Port/vent aiming up out of tent. Put a shoebox with lid atttached, on top vertically. Cut air holes towards bottom of shoebox. This will let the air escape but light shouldn't be able to do a 90 degree turn to go up to top of port and back down into tent. I can sketch it up real quick if my explanation doesn't make sense. I have done this as well before I could get some dryer venting to make a 90 degree bend to keep the light out.

Yeah but im saying the shoebox would be vertical to let enough air escape from the port. Then either poke holes and then stretch an old pair of black pantyhose over it to diffuse light, or I think im my original version I cut little flaps that were cut on sides and bottom and then just bent them up wards a little like in wall exhaust vent flaps.

yours looks awesome for sure. I am giving him the hacked together oh shit/no money solution that I came up with one time.

*disclaimer you shouldn't rely on this for longer than a week or two. definitely needs a proper exhaust fan.

If you can do that then it may be best... for now. You can leave the tent open and have a fan to keep air moving in the entire room... but it may be easier to control the environment when you have everything needed for the tent.

Agreed ^^^.

Also, if you can light proof the room you don't really need the tent. The tent helps give you a smaller environment to dial in, and is easier to keep out pests etc. But hey if you can throw an A/C in there and have more space to grow, now you just need more lights :)

Lol fair enough. I have a lot of hair to keep out of the way and dollar store pantyhose with the legs cut off is my cheapest option. I have plenty of old ones to use for the ends of my exhaust vents. Don't judge me :lol:

Well that’s perfectly logical. When I had long hair I used something similar that I stole from my girl. Idk wtf it was.. looked like a deep pouch lmao.
