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.

right gonna ask a few questions................well I sed I was going to have 2 5 inch hoods rite.......so shld I connect a 6 inch fan to those......and do I have my filter connected to it aswell so it pulls air thru my filter thru the hoods and out the room?...or shld I have my filters on a sep fan?.....so like 1 fan running the hoods and a nother running the filters?

The best environment would be from 1 fan for hoods and 1 for filter, the fan cooling the hoods would shift more air without having to suck through a filter first.

got quite bit of space in me room....im using open lights aint liking the temps......so im getting the hoods I was asking how to rig it up..........do I connect the filter to the hoods and pull it thru it on 1 fan or have a sep fan for filters.......dose sucking the air thru the hoods work betta than blowing the air thru it......

I have my fan on top of my filter and blowing up into my lights. But in would suggest hooking up the filter/can in the room, normally top, then duct to the hood and then duct from hood to fan and then out.....try some configurations and see what works best.

how does that work then if the fan on hoods isnt on a filter? would it not then vent out unfiltered smelly air? and would make having a filter in the 1st place pointless?

If you have a tent they have vent holes at both sides and on the roof, you can blow fresh air from the room the tent is in straight through the hoods and out the other side, this air never enters the tent so stays clean at all times.
Then you would pull the supply air through a filter and plain duct out the other duct exiting through the roof.

If you have a sealed room then buy a hole saw kit and set up as described.

Pulling is more efficient than pushing, there's some maths behind that but I forgot it years ago.

So you want sucking through.

ok cheers well that's answerd my question that's been raking me brains all day lol
The Yorkshireman said:
Yeah, if you can get the hood ducting to go straight through with no bends it would be ideal but that's good to go if you Move the hood fan to the same place but at the other end.

Have it pulling instead of pushing.

ah i see, ive got a larger tent and there is only intake vent hole at one side near the bottom and on the top of the tent to vent out and at the back for wires to go in, but all of these are on the left of the tent so i couldnt do it this way, which is a cunt as im buying a cool hood next month

this is mine here growTent165x65x180KMSWMBoard00.jpg

Straight run without a filter though mate.

My shitty Vents TT 5" (280m3/hr) will cool a 400w bare bulb through a filter then through a 600w cooltube as long as it's not raping hot summer.

That Ruck pulling 372m3\hr straight through should be right?
