Just add ducting to that, and cover with a register if you want, or even chicken wire..this is just to keep animals or papers from going in the tent

the board for the exhaust could go floor to top, and house both of these.
I would curve the intake duct, and paint the metal inside black to stop light from lighting up inside.

Yeah I was thinking passive intake, was just wondering how to make it light proof.

Still trying to figure how how to frame it together

I wish I was good with CAD programs or something like that.

I know Colocowboy knows more about this than me.

I think you could use the design he put up, but no need to put as many vertical studs.

I could probably design something for you and take a pic of it for ya and post it here.

What size are you doing?

 

[Voidling]

I'm thinking 3' wide and 2' front to back. I had to reformat my pc yesterday so lost all my graphics programs that I usually use. Doing pen and paper tonight. Just trying to figure out how to arrange 1x2 boards for this

How tall are you going?

 

[Voidling]

6 maybe 7 foot tall. I'll mostly be using led unless I can get that plasma, which is unlikely. So doesn't need to be all that tall. A foot for the pots, for and half for light and fan, so even 5 foot may work

I'm just trying to figure out 1x2 as I'm more limited on screw placement.

Might work out well

That wasn't a "plan" I posted just an illustration of support joints.

You need to make a "light trap", the way to do this is a few changes of direction in the ducting with it painted flat black because light is directional and once reflection is inhibited none will travel the duct.

The shank on a 2" (or smaller) deck screw pilots with a 7/32", a wood screw like that has a tapered shank which will be more prone to splitting your wood. If you use metal gussets which is a fine idea, just use 5/8 - 3/4 inch anodized drywall screws.

i just used some dark coloured cloth over the intake, it slows down the air going in but stop dust and other nasties getting in and is a lot simpler than any other method i could think of

Thanks. Good to know on the screws. I thought they'd be good as the description says to prevent splitting. Simple drywall screws I can actually source locally rather than an hour trip.

What kind of cloth are you using? I tried black pillow case but still had bleed through out, not sure about bleed in.

I'll try getting one of my 3d programs installed and draft something up

 

[ghb]

double it up maybe, i used to use jeyes cloth and it did let light out but i doubt it would be classed as a light leak for light entering the cab.

single pillow case, paint ducting inside flat black, and have 2 bends in ducting and no light....
I think 2 cases will just about block all the airflow

I spent last night trying to design a wood shelf to hold the fan and filter. Just now dawned on my that buggies are the way to go to stop vibration. Sleep deprivation is making me stupid

I use a speed controller for my fan, and it quiets it down dramatically without losing much air pressure.
Certain fans dont like the controllers, like Valueline, unless you get the type that lowers voltage instead of frequency I believe

On smaller tents you can use something like this.
You can use a smaller DC power supply than it can handle and get tons of air with really low noise.
This one would work great from 12-30V DC, but for low noise 12-18 vDC will be best

I own lots of Papst Axial fans and they are great and very reliable.
Just peel back the sticker once a yr and one drop of oil in there and heat and noise if any are gone.

**Note to open sticker heat with hair dryer for 1 min then carefully peel it back.

Hi all , just passing through so thought id come see my old Assholes lol ... nice to see all the familiar faces are still here !!

 

[Voidling]

But I need to run my exhaust air through the carbon filter for flowing at least. I've got a couple small computer fans blowing air around in my cab and room.

I've got one of the expensive fan controllers rather than a simple rheostat dimmers. It sure helps it not sound like a helicopter is landing in my room. Ha

My single BBM (BB dom), has turned out to have what I think to be a blueberry structure, and a light colored hue to the buds, and the smell has evolved to idk what, but Blueberry is DEF in there.

Ill try to reveg her, when shes done.
Chunky-lumpy buds, but def not airy
