How about a fan recommendation?

Rickcin · Jul 2, 2021

I’m growing two plants in a 2X4 X 6 foot tall tent and have charcoal filter exhaust fan sucking air out but was told it best to also have a fan in the tent for constant air circulation.

I would think a small slow speed fan would be best but I’m certainly not knowledgable, just learning.

Are there any decent fans out there I should consider? Thanks

I would say that one. You can have it with temp control or not. You may even be able to use it at a slow pace.

CLOUDLINE T4, Quiet Inline Fan 4" with Temperature Humidity VPD Controller

Upgrade smaller grow spaces with the Cloudline T4 quiet inline fan. This 4-inch exhaust system includes an automated temperature and humidity controller.

I thought I needed one of these as well as a circulation fan in the tent

In that size tent nah.... just make sure all the passives at the bottom are open. I'd also say the cloudline t4 is a good option.

I’m back with a question: I was just reading some reviews on Amazon and there are some comments that the T4 fan does not move enough air when used with a carbon filter in a 2X4X6 foot high tent, which is what I have. Im wondering if these comments are validThanks

For extraction fan in my 2x4x6ft tent I went for a 6 inch AC Infinity, this way I could keep it at setting 2-3 and not hear it in my bedroom, also handy now that I have upgraded to a bigger tent
For oscillating fans I would suggest spending a few quid extra on a silent one.

karolanne · Jul 2, 2021

The ACInfitiny carbon filter 4 inches is up to 210 cfm. The fan gives 205 cfm.
If you really want to have a highest air movement, you can go with the 6 inches fan. worst case scenario, you'll use it at slow speed.

I don't have the T4 but that sounds like they don't know what they are talking about. The T6 will suck the walls in on my 5x5x8 Gorilla

There is no harm in going with a t6 especially if you plant to upgrade your tent in the future. They are variable speed.

I guess the 6 inch would be better for the long haul but now I need to see if they adapt to a 4 inch filter.
‘Regarding an oscillating fan, Aqua Man feels I don’t need one with an AC infinity fan.

For a 2x4 tent I don't never been an issue.

I have a t6 pulling air out of two 4x4 tents and it’s not quite on high. I think 6 of 8 speeds and it’s still sucking in the sides with the vents open. I recommend it. Like Aqua said you’ll be fine with just the in-line but if you scrog I would consider putting in a small clip fan opposite your vents. Helps the pots dry more evenly. The ones near the intake vents usually dry quicker. Also i imagine if you rig a 4 inch filter to a 6 inch fan it will not be able to run to its full potential due to a lower cfm rating. Keep it on the lowest setting to be safe. Whatever you do just make sure the fan you get has got a speed control.

Good point regarding the fan since mines near the top of the tent near the filter discharge air.

Is there a specific fan you recommend? Most lol of the ones I see look like junk.

it depends on your budget.

Understood, but most of what I see on Amazon is really cheap so I’m thinking there are not many better options in the 6 inch size since there is little demand for ones that small. There’re basically “throw away” fans!

GrowHobo · Jul 2, 2021

Yeah the more I look I’d say just buy a small tower fan and stick it in the corner. Ive got two hurricanes in the corners but they don’t oscillate. Been running non stop for about year though I just clean them with a shop vac. It all depends on how you intend to grow. One big plant you probably won’t even need it. It won’t hurt anything though.

I do know the T4 isn't near the fan the T6 is . . . I don't know about cfm and such, however I tried using the T4 as an intake with the T6 & filter as exhaust in a cheap Vivosun 4x4. The T6 will suck the walls in running at 3-4 with the T4 running full blast without a filter. Switched the T4 for a Raxial 6" set up with a basic HVAC filter as intake and I'm much happier with the results.
