Ok Clearly I need to get the duct fans. But why cant I go filter--light/air hood--exhaust? Why do I need a separate exhaust for the filter? I have a 400w and Im not planning on expanding, so the heat isnt going to be that horrible. Plus I live in Vermont so it will be winter soon, and I might...

I have an 4" aircooled hood,4" carbon filter, tent, and 400w. Is there a way I can use PC fans (80cfm) for ventilation. If yes, how do I rig them to fit carbon filter, hood etc. ?

I actually have a similar question. Except my space is 4'X2'X5' and I am using a air cooled 400w hps. How many plants should I put in there to maximize efficiency. Sorry for jumping in on this thread, I thought making a thread for the same question would be a waste.

cool, thanks for help!

I have a small grow tent and 400w hps. I will be using soil and 5 gallon buckets with drainage holes at the bottom. When I water the plants and its starts to drain out of the bottom of the pots, how do I combat that extra runoff? Wont it be a problem if I have water sitting at the bottom of my...

Thats great to know. It means less ducting and fans and money! The summer is a long time away, so I'm sure by then I could pick up one of those AC units. I live in Vermont so the winters will easily take care of the heat issues for the coming months. Thanks for the help!

Thank you! That answered most of my questions. But if I passively pull air into my room, the air quality would be much less than if I was to draw it directly from the outdoors. So i think I will just have a small fan for the intake and have a passive intake as well. Because if I am going to get...

The thing is I have no AC in my house. I could get a small window AC unit. But I would rather not have to keep that running along with the lights and fans. Is it possible to not use AC and still keep the temp down with just venting during the summer. It is cool enough right now that I don't have...

taking air from a adjoining room is definitely not going to be possible. Although it would be ideal. I will be using a vented hood for sure. So I was thinking venting up through ceiling into the attic and out the vent. And then running more ducting into the vents and having it pull fresh air...

I will definitely be using a carbon filter for the smell, it is a must. However the house is not AC cooled, no central air, so if I have the passive intake it will be air that is not AC cooled and during summer months it can get very hot in the house. Would the exhaust into the attic still be...

Thank you for all the help! I think I am going to try to vent into the attic. I know that there is a vent leading outside from the attic. However, I might not be able to physically get into the attic to lead the ducting to the vent. If I just get one hole in the ceiling of the closet and exhaust...

I currently have a 400w hps in a closet. I would like to keep the closet doors closed, however the temps quickly rise to 90+ when I leave it shut. There is an attic space above the closet that could be accessible, would it cause any problems if I vented the heat into the attic from the 400w...
