S & P TD series inlines or sunleaves

i cant seem to find my discount hookup on the S & P TD series. Horticulture source used to sell them real cheap.

just google that name and something should pop up


as for the Sunleaves Windtunnel..... i got mines from hydro oasis i think.

worms way and growco has them as well

 

[LoudBlunts]

the latter

booo! surely you arent knocking without trying are you?

 

[BigBudBalls]

and we happen to like the same fans

Great minds think alike.

(us too!)

push don'tt suck. heres why i say so:

1 plastic fins. keep cooler air on them.

2 pushing does compresses the air raising its temp (doubt anyone here has the instrumentation to measure it) but also adds more air molecules to absorb more heat. if a single air mol can absorb 1 btu, (for argument sake) the more the to absorb more heat. don't forget that mol just left the building like elvis. that will overcome the compression temp rise.

i beg to differ

even though im just pulling Bigbud balls's leg

cuz whereas i have the info stored in my head as to why i do it my way.

Bigbud balls probably has the link on demand and i dont...lol

anywho....Bigbud...look at his reflector, i dont think blowing would help his situation AT ALL

Have used the S&P and that crappy/useless inline. But not the Sunleaves. Didn't comment on them.

NEVER think horticulture when buying stuff. (pot growers and golfers, they see us coming!)

Vent fans? think HVAC.

help me out Bigbudballs


and btw, you should know imma bargain shopper..those were just where i seen them for cheaper. i KNOW hydro shops rape us for pumps that we can find at aquarium shops or other relevant items


btw, im using the sunleaves windtunnels..... i like them.

Never saw a link to the reflector (just the fan). But let me guess. Its an open air batwing style (the cheap $100 400W system ones, when stuffed into a closet, the poor guy realizes he needed the $400 one plus some ducting and a good fan. <just a dig at the $100 400W HPS system bs, NOT the OP!!>)

Well, I like the TD-150. I run it on the slower speed on a smaller 400W hood. I can put my hand on the hood glass as long as I like and keep my beer on top of the hood. I push through with a gentle jog into the hood, then a moderate 90 after it.

(can't say for the other, haven't used it)

i cannot recommend any HTG supply products unless it is a brand name and not something with an HTG sticker on it.

dont get me wrong, im not knocking as i applaud the low prices to help n00bs get started and help our OVERGROW movement

but at the same token....most if not ALL of their equipment is junk.

you get what you pay for.

with that said....go with your second link...the TD series has never failed and if you need further backing and/or help.... you can see the following thread : https://www.rollitup.org/grow-room-design-setup/61475-these-fans-real-deal.html

ok thanks im getting the td-150. do i put it before the lights or in between?

 

[LoudBlunts]

me and Bigbud also forgot the most important part

the reason why Sunleaves Windtunnel, S & P TD series and Elicient fans are the best, in my humble opinion is the noise to feature work ratio.


the casing the fan comes in makes a big big difference. all the fans i listed above have a plastic polymer type casing.... vibration and all that is almost zero! like the only noise that folks confuse with the fan motor the swooshing of the air

that can be silenced with insulated ducing first, then using duct mufflers.

the way you mount the fan also makes a difference. (rubber everything.... i.e. grommets, straps, etc etc etc.)

depends on your setup....i dont know how you got things set up...list what you have and we can see whats up

 

[BigBudBalls]

I'm not impressed with the dB of the TD-150, though I could have done a MUCH better job mounting it. (also a better choice of room in the house might have helped too )


(I say blow into the light. Others may disagree. But for effectiveness I doubt it matters a hill of beans either way)

i have a 4x8x7 grow tent with a 600w hps on each side of the tent

 

[LoudBlunts]

meh, i think its relative, Bigbud...

lol...you nik picker!

my sunleaves is a little non impressing with dB, but once that insulated ducting goes on both ends, its a wrap! almost as if the duct tells the air flow "Silence biatch"

my carbon filter is like a k&n car filter, Bigbud, kinda sounds cool sucking through the fan...almost almost like the sucking of a cold air intake, but you know...just another one of those grow gadgets i like....lol

Hy! Leave my family out of it!

 

[furl707]

dont i need to have duct before the fan attatched to the vent to bring in air from outside the tent and then have the last duct attatched to the other side blowing it out the tent?
