First time grower. What you guys think?

[Rolandomota]

My bad, I have this one, the $119 with speed control.

I Read the info on the ac Infinity with temp and humidity control and the fan will speed up and slow down to keep the temperature it was set at. It also looks like it can shut off depending on what temp you set. You’d be better off with the $119 fan with just the speed control.

Ok 10 4 I guess you have a humidity and temperature gauge in side of your grow area and have had no issues keeping the temps and humidity you need? I only ask cause some days my humidity will be high and other just prefect.

See yeah this is just anote6thing I dont k ow about lmao. But like everything else I'll learn.

You size the fan and filter to the grow space. For ventilated rooms or tents it is good to turn the air in the tent 2-3x per minute.

I used a 400cfm fan for a 4x4 tent for example.

I use mine in a sealed room as a scrubber. I have just under 180sq feet and use 200cfm but mine is used in a different application.

@MIMedGrower do you run them at 100%. I do but again different application and mine is duel purpose of internal circulation and scrubbing.

Can't smell a dam thing from a foot away but I can smell it when I open the door in flower

Yeah so what I've learn is you 3x3x5x1.33=59.85 or you can do 3x3x5x2=90.

Ok what do you mean by scrubbing or scrubber? I wanna by something to hide the smell of weed and help my plants.

No they are dialed down as it gets colder out.

Huh? Its 3’ x 3’ x 5’ = 45 cubic feet. So a 200cfm 4” fan is more than enough. Thats what i use in my 3x3. And 4” phresh filters are like 69 dollars i think.

Ok mine is a sealed room so I don't pull fresh air in or exhaust any air at all. It's all sealed up air tight. So I run an inline fan to suck air from the top of the grow side over to the equipment side. It goes through a carbon filter to remove the smell. When I open the doors it does have a faint smell but hardly anything.

You on the other hand will be pulling fresh air in and exhausting air out into the room. So while just over 1x the volume CFM is good for me it may not be enough for you. But at 90 cubic feet a 200cfm fan/filter combo should be good. Again I use a phresh filter and can't comment on how well the vivosun work. But I can say that activated carbon is not all the same there is different grades, porosities and sources. The cheaper carbon does not perform as well in varying humidity or effectiveness of removing voc's.

I can only comment on what I use. Others may work well also but I do feel that phresh makes very good quality filters.

Lol I didn't even check his math.

Ok I thought I had read the 1.33 or the 2 was including bends in the Pope and stuff like that. Like i said I'm learning and trying not to sound to dumb.

Its good to eatimate the ducting but you should have plenty of power with a 4 incher.

Ok so that fan plus the filter you guys like and bam no weed smell lol I no go to jail lmao

 

[Rolandomota]

So this is my grand total

 

[Aqua Man]

So this is my grand total

Not bad.

 

[Rolandomota]

Not bad.

Yeah shit not bad lmao. I could save 30 bucks if I get the fan with out the cool display just the control speed switch. Just gotta figure what one I go with now as far as that goes.

Your plants look good! I'm on my second grow and know you will be hooked on growing soon if you aren't already.

On my first grow I had a vivosun 4" fan (rated at 195 cfm) with an iPower carbon filter, bought on Amazon. Personally I think some of the specs for cfm for the products on Amazon are inflated.

Researching proper airflow I found air turnover requirements stated as anywhere from once every 2 minutes to 5 times a minute (at some point you might have to glue your pots down).

So here are some numbers for your grow:

AIR FLOW L W H ft3 CF + 25% CF x 2 CF x 3 3 3 5 45 56 CFM 90 CFM 135 CFM My room is a bit larger so here are the numbers I used: L W H ft3 CF + 25% CF x 2 CF x 3 5.67 3.75 7.92 168 210 CFM 337 CFM 505 CFM I found my original 4" setup wasn't controlling my temperature and I'm only running LED's. I'm running a higher end 6" system now, with the 4" fan being used as an inlet fan. However it was 4X the cost of the 4" system. Rated at 400 cfm it is doing a great job. For you I think the 4" vivosun/iPower system would work fine. I'm sure others can suggest products around the same price that they have found work well. “Alcohol and marijuana, if used in moderation, plus loud, usually low-class music, make stress and boredom infinitely more bearable.” – Kurt Vonnegut​

Get the T model. I have the S cause it all I need. The S does not have programmable temp and humidity. It may not be perfect but it's some automated control and that's better than none

[Rolandomota]

Well god dam 260 but I'm done will have her up and running by sunday. Since imma get 1 package a day starting friday.

 

[Rolandomota]

So nothing else I need to buy right since I'm shitting out money at the moment lmao
