Hello.
So to explain briefly. I bought a grow tent setup and inline fan/carbon filter kit not for the smell. But because my basement was susceptible to powdery mildew and more importantly grey mold (botrytis). I do not care about the smell, when you walk into my house you do smell a grow up but because it's legal here I don't care at all.
So my question is where should i place the inline fan. My thoughts are this. I plan on putting it outside the grow tent and blowing air into the grow tent... this way the air being blown into the tent is first going through the carbon filter and hopefully only fresh, clean air goes in. Then I plan on leaving one of the grow tent duct holes on the other side open so that the air pressure blows out of it.
I also bought an air purifier with an H13 hepa filter to help with the fungus.
I am worried about leaving the one side open where air is supposed to be pushing out from. It should always be pushing out but I am worried about fungus spores somehow coming/settling through it even though the air pressure should always be pushing air out of the tent through that hole
Also I seen a video showing me that when you have the inline fan on the outside of the tent... that you should put the cloth filter on the inside of the carbon filter instead of the outside... Why is that? Should I actually put the cloth filter around the carbon filter like normal?
So does anyone have any advice for me? Is putting the inline fan outside of the grow tent pushing air inside of it and an opening on the other side for air to come out my best bet? Should I leave all the openings closed and just let the air push out through tiny leaks (it's not 100% sealed even with the pull strings closed I know that)
Thanks in advance..... If you want any pictures of the setup let me know.
