looking at new fans for my tent as the 4" pair aint cutting it and cant make my mind up the 6" RVK says it does 425m3/h and the TT fan says it does 550m3/h and the TT is also £30 cheaper what do u lot think? also im gonna be using a reductor to attach it to my 4" carbon filter for a while till money allows an upgrade to the 6" filter will this affect the airflow?

u did ask....vit c is a reducer, it will convert free radicles back into pure oxygen, it will also reduce oxidative stress on the cutting, I was adding vit c to water to dechorinate it (quickest cheapest method) get magnesium or potassium ascorbate if ya wanna try it, not sodium. dunno if it helps but the chemistry is interesting which is why I tried it. at the mo I am experimenting with the opposite using oxidized water with ROS present....need to get out more

so in a nutshell does the vit c tabs make any difference?

cos they are cheap shite, ive had a 4" kit like that b4 and it not worth it i'd rather pay a little more for the right fan just now and get a new filter later as the one i got is only 2 months old

As soon as you hook up any Vents TT model to a filter the pressure drops off something chronic, they're not very good unless on straight runs.

Also for the money you'll only get about 2 years out of it before the balance goes, after that you'll be greasing the bearings.

You could ring this guy up who I've just got a cheap 5" Ruck from and see if he's got any 6" ones left and if he has it would be the best bet.....

Or these new Ram fans made for Hydrogarden look the shit, high powered copys of the German Rucks just like the RVK's.........

I wouldn't advise putting a 6" fan on a 4" filter, I expect that fan will pull air faster than the filter can scrub it effectively rendering it near on useless.

A brand new 5" Ruck LS fan is in the post and I've to order another 5" Rhino filter by the end of next week.
I need to disinfect the attic with Don's Ozone genny this week so I can get it sent back to him, then I have to put a proper velcro sealed door on the tent.
A wooden frame screwed in and the lights set up proper while they're vegging.

They'll be plenty of photos to come, I'll take pics as I work like usual.

Aye for watching movies.

Give me an 80-100 inch plasma all day long, in fact the best picture quality for the price comes from plain old CRT technology but it's a shame we can't get big screen sizes and a DVI input lol.

Limited space, go vertical. Bigger canopy less footprint required.

I was very tempted having followed your grow. Space was never a friend of mine. Damned cupboard. Soon. Soon.

Are you guys getting a stand at the cup this year? Would be good to stop by with the missus and say hello.
