The longer the exhaust hose is, the more resistance you are creating, and putting the carbon filter on the outside of the tent means you are "pushing" the exhaust through the filter, rather than pulling it, and that also creates more resistance. Why can't you blow the exhaust outside if you are filtering the air? Just get a portable air conditioner vent cap for it and nobody will know the difference.
What kind of exhaust fan are you running? If your room is 72 and tent is 85, your exhaust fan is not moving nearly enough air.
i live in california so its really hot this time of year and the only way to get it out of the house is through the window
What kind of exhaust fan are you running? If your room is 72 and tent is 85, your exhaust fan is not moving nearly enough air. The fact that you are saying you are trying to "blow air into your tent" tells me your exhaust fan is not nearly powerful enough.
im thinking of buying a portable air conditioning unit and placing it in the tent. just using water of course no freon or
vivohome 450cfm 6inch inline at 100%. im aware that its not doing its job correctly.
There's no point in putting it in the tent if you are exhausting the air. You just aren't moving enough air if your room is at 72 and your tent gets up to 90 degrees when the light is fully on. And, if you did, why wouldn't you use freon or any other AC coolant? Its sealed in the AC lines so it doesn't pose any issues.
Do you have space in your tent to set it up like this? This is by far the best way to do it. Fan attached directly to filter. Fan pulls air through filter and pushes it out of the tent. You can put it right at the ceiling of the tent at a vent hole and not even need to use any duct.
i attempted this but there wasnt enough room in the tent for everything and have the light be centered
nope. im working in the tent right now putting the carbon filter inside. will report back
You can also hang your light under the filter if there is enough room.
alright. got it all setup. any tips?
Run the light at 100% and probably bring it closer to the plants.
Your temps improve?
temps are improving still hitting 79 degrees. working on getting the hot air out of the room. using 25 foot insulated tubing to get it out of the room through the door into the house. will that help or do i need to run it out of the house.
Venting to the rest of the house should help. How hot is the room?
temps have leveled off at a nice 78 degrees. went down to the hydro store just now pickup up a ph testing kit w ph up and ph down, some cal mag, and training wire. going to give her cal mag on thursday as i just watered her today a little.
temps in the room are at 73
also talked to the owner of the hydro store brought in some leaves told him about the fimming two weeks ago and he basically said that its probably because shes learned her new grow pattern and just to feed her with ph balanced water from now on.
