I finally bought a nice grow tent and i discovered so far that I am going to use a diy 6" rounddaimeter with a 4" core both 1.5' height with active carbon filter wrapped around both 6"and 4" cores. J have attached a 6" duct booster fan that is at 160 cfms with pulling air through the filters with a 6"to4" reducer.
I have that attached to my diy cool tube which is 5" diameter by 1.5' long capped with a 5" reducer to 4" for duct to connect easily. I have a reflector on it as well that I used mylar on.
For the fan I am using a stanley blower with the 3 settings on it with 2 three prong outlets with a fuse built in. I have removed the black grill to help with air flow as well as the yellow grill on the intake. Then i attached the oval yellow exhaust part to the 6" exhaust hole in the tent. Then the intake side i went ahead and connected a 6" to 4" reducer with a 4inch metal flex tubing to the other end of the light.
So far i have attached my staney using some chain with some springs to help with vibration and noise. I had made a wall in my tent using pvc for a frame and then using cardboard with mylar attached to it to make the room 2.5x2.5 growing space. I plan to test next before going further.
I am wondering if anyone may have some suggestions or advice if I am not doing something correctly, if you do not mind. Thanks
Today I did test my diy carbon filter attached to my diy cool tube to the stanley blower and my temps were at 78-79 degrees. That is with the tent open the blower on setting 3 and my wall was not installed at the time. While testing i was finishing it up and it turned out great.
I am thinking that i need to add a my second 6? duct fan as an intake along with either one or two 4" duct booster fans with each having 80cfms. Any ideas?
