[PEPE LaPUE]

ok so last night i transplanted 9 cuttings that were rooted good enough i hope to some coco n fed gh nutrients n put them in the system also the night before that i took the 2 best looking cutings of pre98 bubba and put them in dwc n fed them with foxfarm nutrients ,,lets see whats more productive and is better quality...

 

[PEPE LaPUE]

also i have them dimmed at 600watts with mh bulb... and about 3ft below the light and 4ft for coco plants ... incase its to much light.. let me no if u think differnt,,, also im gonna post a pictur of tent to see if i havee everything in the right place such as intake fan outake central air vent charchoal filter.. etc.. thanxs in advance...

 

[PEPE LaPUE]

the first pic is from central ac unit blowing cold air into my 4x4x8 tent..the 2nd pic is the same line into bottom of tent fresh cold air. the 3rd pic is the6" inline fan iknow it should b sucking air from outside but havnt been able to see what im going to do yet but it goes into the 4th picture at top of tent to cool the 6" hoods. the 5th pic is cooled hoods with it exitin onthe6th pic.. the 7th pic is the cold air exitin into the next tent on pic 8...the 9th pic is the filter conected to the very top of thent.. if i did somthing wrong please give ur input... thanxs

The only real main issue I see with your setup is the duct work, you shouldn't have bends in it like that. In pic 5 it goes down then back up at almost 180 degree angle, which will dramatically decrease the strength of your fan. Try keeping the bends to a 90 degree angle at the most. Other then that everything looks decent, good luck bro.

 

[LexLuthor]

^^^^EDIT: "180 degree angle" WTF!! I meant to say, "almost 25 degree angle", I don't know where I got 180 from :confused:

thanxs what about that charchoal fiter is it kool off the top? ive seen pepole have it inline with the air from kooling fan from hoods..

 

[LexLuthor]

You want the filter towards the top of your tent, but you want it to scrub the air in the tent with a fan sucking it out. If your lights are being cooled with air from outside the tent, then you don't want the filter to be connected to your lights because it won't scrub the air in your tent, so I would put the filter, by itself, connected to a fan at the top of your tent with the filter inside and the fan outside so it pulls air from inside the tent, cleans it, then pushes the air outside the tent. Don't have it in line with your aircooled hoods if your cooling them with outside air. I hope that made sense.

yea so ur saying i should have 2 inline fa ns for 1 tent ? one cooling hoods and one conected in tent with filter conected...

 

[PEPE LaPUE]

here are some shots of super lemon haze into flowerin.. the dwc is already showing more sighns of root growing alot faster than coco .. so it looks that way cant realy dig into coco . but leafs are growing alot faster too its already got its 6th noods growing im going to let them streach abit then top the head and start training them . cant wait .....

Yes, because the air thats cooling your hoods is not mixing with the air in your tent. Therefore, the air in your tent, which is where all the smell gathers, needs to be scrubbed through the filter then exhausted through one of your fans. Unless your running a sealed room with co2 then you don't want an exhaust, but it doesn't look like you are running a sealed room so I would use a 2nd fan for exhausting the smell and it also creates air movement and replaces ambient co2 which your plants need.

So you could open a flap towards the bottom of your tent for passive intake, or put duct through it thats connected to your A/C if you need to cool your room. Then use a fan directly connected to your filter at the top of your tent for exhaust, and thats about it, your good to go.

Remember this when buying a fan for your exhaust, make sure its capable of moving all the air in your tent within 2-5 minutes. That means, if your tent is 96 cu. ft., then your fan should be rated around 100-250 CFM because you have to compensate for the filter and all the bends in your ducting. Also, your filter should be rated at least as high as the fan its connected to.

P.S. If I'm wrong about any info, please correct me.

a so in picture 5 thats the only part that the duct work is lagging to much? i just need to shortin it? thanxs in advance

 

[LexLuthor]

There are so many prices for different quality fans and different CFM ratings. You get get one from ebay or plenty of other websites and one company I like is Apollo, they make alot of equipment from ballasts and hoods to fans and filters. There not of the highest quality like Lumatek, but there less expensive and are of better quality then nameless brands from ebay.

You can probably get a decent fan for $90-$150 that would fit your size tent good. Also, I would shorten the duct so it has only 90 degree angle turns or more, but not less. Yes, the one in picture 5.
