ello, couple of questions:
How big an issue is it to use a carbon filter with the wrong size fan? imagine if you will the tent is 8x4x6 (high) it has approx 125cfm fresh air intake (a 5" 250cfm inline but has a t pipe fitted) the ducting runs about 4 metres to the tent.. The exhaust was planned to be a 6" 430cfm but its too noisy so gonna use another 5" 250cfm instead, the ducting (acoustic) for this is about 2 metres. The problem i have is that i already have a 6" 50cm long filter thats designed for the 430 fan-this is not returnable! So using adapters/gaffer tape etc would the filter still do a good enough job even though their is less 'suck' on it? Im running low on money and have already hung the filter so not got much choice but to use it.
2nd question: I have some clones that have been rooted coming my way soon but may struggle to get them to the growroom for 24-36hrs, any tips on how best to keep them happy? will it stress them to put them in natures 12/12 (conservatory) for a day and then to 24/7 at the growroom? its either they sit in the conservatory which i can keep mildly warm or keep them indoors under a bog standard 60w housebulb which i can leave on 24/7. Oh n its too cold to put them outside!
Thanks for taking the time to read and appreciate any ideas and suggestions
