Fart fans...Maybe if the bedroom is small. I'm growing in a spare bathroom just useing one fan 24/7..Seems to be working.

it says here into closet!

Shuold be able 2, i've got 3 fart fans in use, one in each tent and one in the bathroom.

I might by missing something. If your going to grow in the closet I would think you would want to suck air out for heat, and to pull co2 in.

They are noisy and any restriction their cfm goes way down. Is that ok?

there will no restriction.....right now i have a cage fan sucking air from the room through the cooltubes out. its still too hot in there. i can put the 2 bathroom fans on the ceiling sucking out and use just a passive intake, or use the 2 bathroom fans as active intakes. not sure yet....

 

[loolagigi]

i think im ganna use the 2 bathroom fans as exzaust on the cieling, and still use my squerrel cage fan for exzausting the cooltubes. and then just make a passive intake.

I'm w/screwdriver, they can't take restriction. There's tons to choose from made that move the air and quiet too. htg has a nice site. BTW did i miss the CF of the area? I think the golden rule is an air exchange 3 times a minute, but i have got away with 2 times/minute. Hope this helps

yeah, its was 13 bucks each for the the bathroom fans. there will be no filter, they are going to exzaust out. and im ganna use my cage fan to cool the lights. i cant spend $100, its just not in my budget right now.
my squerrell cage fan at 465 cfm should cool my room through my lights if i calculate room size and cfm of fan. its 5x5x8. with the closet door open it gets over 90 degreees in direct light....too hot for me. i will keep my cage fan hooked up to my 2 cooltubes, and install the bathroom fans to the ceiling today. i will also make my passive intake and report new temps.

 

[stinkyelements]

I personally like the idea

 

[loolagigi]

i hearin ya.
im goinn thru the whole trial and error on ventillatin in my room too :hairpull: lol

trial and error is right....whn i just used a small cab it was simple, but this closet is much bigger, and i have to figure out a way to keep it cool. too much money invested in genetics and such...

I use the same $13 dollar fart fan frome Home Depot in my 3x3x6 grow box, it has worked flawlessly so far. I don't use a filter since it is in my detached garage, I just vent it outside. I may add 1 more to get even more air exchange.

 

[loolagigi]

haha. i feel ya pain Loola. trust me. LOL
exact same situation here , only its not a total nightmare. just one hurdle is all. but once we all overcome them hurdles, it then makes us better at growing for future anyway :aok:
one thing ive realized now since upgradin form cabinet size space to a whoel 3x5 coset, is that you do need a lil change to get things optimal or evn suffice IMO, unless your an avid collector of miscellaneous stuff jsut for future DIY purposes. LOL. JMO.
but another thing i noticed , goin up in room size is higher humidity too. so if ya aint encountered humidity issues, yet , just wait til all ya girls are ion full bloom and ya just water them and tehy wet :hubba: :rofl: mine goes up dang near 10% for two days after watering as of now, til i sort out my issue, here soon. but even wit a 10% hike in humidity im still below 50 so im cool for now IMO.
im currently runnin 2 600hps wit 6inch highoutput canfan and still my yemps are now gettin round 80 steady now that its above 30 outsie the past weel
im also runnin a passive intake. which i think you may benefit from doin as well VS havin hooked up to AC duct and only puttin in air when AC for house is on.
either way i think your gonna end up puttin in a few more bux into a better or more additions to your ventillation system.
i bought a 4inch fan and 4inch can9000 filetr in advance only to find two months later it wont work , so now gota abuy a whoel new 6inch filter for my spare 6inch fan i have.
i dont even wanan kwo wat nitemares summer will bring so im glad im takin it off from growin LOL.
good luck Loola. :aok: i hope ya get'er all tweeked in to shape soon.

yeah man, im down south so the outside temp is 70. in the house its 72-73. in the summer it will get over 100 outside, but still be 73-75 in house. havnt had any humidity spikes yet, my grow will consist of dirt for veg and flower for just this grow. i will take clones and they will go into my dwc buckets. yeah buying fans arent cheap.........still havnt hooked up fart fan yet, but im ganna hook them up today for sure....pics to come.

I use a bathroom exhaust fan for my veg room, and just a 10" oscilating fan in front of my intake hole. This is a cabinet 1 1/2' x 3' x 6', and they work fine.

I also have a bt rm exhaust fan that I use for an active intake in my flower room, and it blows fresh air right across the tops of my pots, at the base of the stem.

I guess as long as your temps are where you need them then they should work, as long as you not putting them under any resistence from a filter.
