Don I'm running a 150mm (6 inch) Torin-Sifan Acoustic box Fan (Tornado) which I got a few months ago. Was running a 6" RVK but found it too noisy for a terraced house. I've found the box fan very quite, not silent but not far off. My oscillating fan is more noticeable than the box fan.

Mine did not have hooks though like the one in your link, so its sat on some folded up carpet in the loft at the mo until this crop finishes and I can extend my ducting and suspend the box.

cheers numberfour, I was looking at the tornado and gekko ones.

My space is only 3 x 3 x about 2m ish tall. don't want to spunk 200 notes on one that's either too loud or not enough cfm as I will have a 600 in that space.

Mine's going into the loft space in the middle of the house roughly. It'll probably sit on the beams on some neoprene or similar. you got the filter in the grow space pulling upo into the loft and out yeah? I'm going to get it put through into the chimney ASAP

Plants look amazing Don!

I picked up some sealed box fans for hanging in my window. The bearings don't get ruined by moisture as easily. One has been going almost non-stop for a year :)

Tear up the carpet! We had plywood in the bathroom for a year until I got the new flooring put in. I gave it a quick coat of primer and it was almost as nice as a new floor. Way better than breathing the unknown bits and bugs from the old carpet!

Cheers,
Mo

Yeah filter in grow space fan in loft, ducting out the eaves. I would have loved to have gone out through the chimney but have a wood burner.

I did have it running, cf to box fan to air cooled hood for a while in the tent but they are big arsed things and it took up too much headroom for my liking, that's when I could hear the oscillating fan. Bastard to hang up, just wrapped chains around it and hung on the horizontal tent poles, there is a pic somewhere in the 600 thread...somewhere lol

thanks man, yeah they look pretty good eh! I hear good things bout them from all over. I'd like to hear it first but I cant replicate it in the shop obviously 200 quid to have got a lemon would sting a bit!

the carpet came from a.relative who's just got new. Its in good shape so not bug city lol.

I've done out an airbrick for years but the airflow sucks balls. Last time we had bad snow a.pigeon froze to death in the melted snow patch above it. Was jailbait as fuck, so I've always worried the eaves would be the same.

I don't think even acoustic would be quiet enough in the space its above the stair well.

The plants are looking very healthy Don. I bet you can't wait for flower. Any hints as to the sex of them yet?

Use an inlet fan if you are worried about high temps

cheers Oscar lad, they're coming along canny. Yeah really looking forward to it man I missed it so badly.

Not really been looking for preflowers yet tbh trying to keep the doors shut as it's stinking more each day. Temps are great just now, I'll be putting two holes in the ceiling one for the fan to pull through and another on a line of duct to the eaves, with a slide grill so i can restrict it if it's freezing.

Priority is getting the loft insulated, a bit of boarding and the fan through the loft hatch as it's quite narrow, the fan I was looking at was 37 x 37 x 40cm.

hello from across the pond!

Just making my rounds, hope all is well. It appears my sour cherry x blueberry snow lotus pollination is a success :) My 3rd female cheese surprise pheno is day 2 flower, it has a much different architecture then my other 2. The first 2 are viney as expected with wide bushy growth, while this 3 pheno has tight nodes, and much more indica leaves. Possibly the purple pheno? Here's hoping!

Anyway, hope all is well with you and yours

Stay free, stay high
