you can get a fan speed controller (dont use a dimmer)
reducing the fan speed by 20-25% cuts down the amount of noise BIG TIME - you could dial it further until you start to get a whiff and then crank it
sorry my answer isnt a "slam dunk"
Your answer is awesome Motherlode and will help me big time. Thank you.
Samcro, The silencer is gonna make the biggest sound difference. The speed controller is a good thing for flow, saving juice, and some noise. Motherlode has a good direction there. Unfortunately, most create some fan hum as they are reducing the wind noise. I think both together would be the best of all situations.
There, i tipped it in.

Your DIY silencer is awesome. Thank you for posting that. Its saved in my SUB threads here. Will build one exact. I think your DIY is much better than the store bought ones. Here is the link for those that need it.
are you seriou:confused0054::confused0054:s..if you have to ask that question with a room that size
man i wish it was still illegal... i hate the idoits running clubs that know jack shit and r dictating the price now. i have not been to that many but i think almost every one that owns one barely even smokes.?????
we need to take this shit back.......why are all these idots running the clubs ...outstanding members of ASA???? who like edibles??? and what to help there patients...pay 65 an eight...but only wanna pay 32 or less????? less than 2k for good outdoot of guys growing for 30 years??
sorry for ranting but what the fuck..we need to take this back...no corporations, huge wharehouse grows, people cashing in... its about mom and pop and many people living a decent life..not people controlling....being greedy..that is what ganja is about...medicine...??? who cares if you are sick or not. it is good for most people. it is good to get high.
Tip for other people...a 14 in max fan uses about half the watts and runs at about half the rpm, thus it is pretty quite pullin the same cfm. Even quiter than a 10 in max fan.. plus has more pressure making the air move farther at the high rpm....hhmmmm
not trying to bash on you personally ..but all this new shit in general and people trying to cash in ruining things.
beer makes weed better....
i will go ahead and give myself ..:anim_09::anim_09::anim_09::anim_09::anim_09:. for the curse words i used...
thanks for reading my rant. i feel better now..:):):):):)
Wow. Thanks Budfriend for the warm "friendly" welcome and for calling me an idiot. I appreciate it. Glad you had your chance to vent and blow your frustration and dump on me, corporate grows, club owners and my simple question thread for whatever reason. Here is my response to your rant.
Yes I have to ask with any room my size. Just because somebody has a room size of larger than closet measurements doesn't mean they should know everything. Big assumptions on your part. Anybody can just plug it in and let it run 24/7, just figured I would save and conserve some energy with a plan and try to be smart about it.
Just because I am new to this farmer site doesn't mean I'm an idiot or new to the growing culture. I could have 20 years outdoor growing experience under my belt and have never grown indoors and wanted to try something new with a sealed room grow and a new location. Never had to use a air scrubber before so some basic questions about it that I haven't found on this site yet needed to be answered for clarification.
Last time I checked growing, cultivating and possession is still illegal in all 50 states and at the Fed level. Nobody has it "LEGAL" in the states. If somebody has it LEGAL please show me how your exempt. It should be decriminalized but that's another topic. Sure you can have a medical card, a letter from a doctor, grow for a club, grow for yourself or a collective, buy your medication from a collective or club and posses it and smoke it limited quantities, vape it, eat it etc. But just because you have proper documentation doesn't mean you are exempt from prosecution at any level. Nobody is exempt.
No I am not a corporate grower, warehouse grower, no I am not a club owner and no I do not make the prices. I wish I did. But just because you may own a collective or cooperative or dispensary and provide a legal service to those in need doesn't make you corporate grow. If your professional about the way you run your grow as medication and you are professional about the way your "club" is run and you personally view that as corporate than so be it and call it Corporate. At least it clean, neat and a safe place for people to get what they need be it for medical or for "just getting high".
Mom and pop grows I always love this term for non corporate grows. Nice term but it's mostly growers that are skillful educated individuals both men and women who grow and cultivate and innovate new strains not major corporations. Get a grip man. I am against corporate involvement with anything to do with HEMP, Cannabis or Medical Grade. It's wrong on so many levels. Corporate involvement means to me RJ Reynolds Tobacco, Philip Morris type deals.
Your "who's gives a shit" attitude for sick people that depend on medical cannabis to help their pains and countless other symptoms is insulting and slap in the face for the people who really need it and stuck their neck out and got the State Bill on the ballots for the people of their particular state to vote on. If you don't have sickness or pain and you want to get high on Ganja, ditch weed, dank, frosty buds I don't care. That's your personal right to freedom of choice. I hope you light up anytime and enjoy like many of us on this site.
Yes I know the MAX FAN 14" is much more quiet and runs more effective. It's also about $200 more money delivered than I had in mind to spend on fan/scrubber application.
But hey I'm just idiot Noob on the farm that you didn't bother to take other things into consideration before your rant.
Wtf that was some funny shit. Personally, you are making too many judgmental assumptions from this thread, First being that this guy is a club owner. Ok he has some minimally decent growing space, and is asking some super noob questions, but no need to hate on him.
Back on topic. I love to run my air scrubbers 24/7! My room is semi sealed. I like to use the negative pressure to allow fresh air into my sealed room. I use the scrubber and fan to suck fresh air into the room only through the small crack at the bottom of the door. Negative pressure doesn't allow any smell that the scrubber didn't filter to be let out. So the smell doesn't go outside the room!
Thanks for the first paragraph. I appreciate it. Gotcha on the air scrubber.
I run Can 12"s on Can 100's 24/7 and it keeps everything in check.
I also added 12" duct mufflers. I had speed controllers on them and while it lessened the 'whooshing' sound, it made it sound more 'metallic' and 'whirring'.
Not satisfactory.
Duct mufflers with fans full blast 24/7 and its noticeable, but 1/3rd of what it was without.
Gotcha. Not sure about the Metallic deal though. But I think I get the drift.
If your fans ducting and then running thru ur lights, then it has to be on when the lights are on, i've seen major damage done when there was an accident and they turned on late. Melted teh reflective film, paint from the insides, didnt crack the glass.
++ on the speed controllers, lotsa benefits.
hiboy
Running Adjust A Wings with this set up. But thanks for the heads-up on cool air lights.
