Gm guys, hoping I could get some help from someone with more experience with tents. My setup started off with a 1000w hps light running 18/6. Carbon filter>blower fan>out. Blower fan is 440cfm and also running a normal fan for the light. Loll Iduno y I taught this setup was gonna be able to suck out all the hot air for the tent. so I've done my tests and the room runs too hot. when the doors open I run 84-87 with the door closed I run 91 and up. So I went to my hydro store talked with the workers and they said I should be good now with my new 6" cooltube. So yesterday i reset up my tent with no carbon filter for now (intell 12/12). I'm runnin ducking in<Cooltube<Blower fan<Outside of tent. Still using a normal fan and temps are still too high but better. So if I run light with tent door open and blower and fan to max i run 84 which is good but as soon as I close the door of the tent the the temps go up to 89-91. The only way I could sleep good without my setup burning is if I open the 2-3 bottom side lil vents. So got me thinkin What should I do .? Was thinkin if I should be blowing the air threw the cooltube instead of suckin would help abit with temps. If not should I (which I do want to) but buy another vortex fan to blow in some cool air from the Bottom hole of the tent. Thank you guys for ur inputs hopefully I could solve this problem by the end of the day so I could start my veg in the new tent. &#9996;&#65039;Guys

seems to me you have 2 problems. (1) hot room, because of (2) no fresh air. Use your blower to blow in fresh air to the room the tent is in, and use the inline fan to pull the air through the cooltube, blowing it into the carbon filter. the carbon filter can then be located outside of your room (if possible) or you can just rely on the blower to blow in the right amount to cool the light/room.

Thks guys sry froelicher but a/c is not an option for the moment. Fosho in the future but at the moment I'm on a tight budget and rather spend abit of cash on a inline fan. Lights turned on today @ 9 am and stayin a constant 79'f 60%hum but on fans on 1 and blower on high. Wish it could run like this on med. and for sticky lungs I open up my tent every 3-4 hrs to change the air flow ...should be ok..? Thks guys

Still on the bucket?



I currently just passively pull from room air and have a small inline fan blowing the tent air out a window. and my tent temps stay mid-high 70s. But I am also only using a 400w HPS too.

Reset up my tent and everything is running good for now.hope everything stays chill when flowering comes but I think I'm still gonna get a extra 6 inline fan for backup in case of problems. At the moment I'm runnin 83'f and 37% with the tent closed and blower fan running medium.

Anyways got everything under control :) ordered some 6"booster fans to get the bottom of the tent some fresh air in. Was just testing everything to the max with the doors closed and the tent had some much neg pressure that it was caving in abit on the sides:):)opened the doors and set controller back to low loll can't wait for flowering time:)
