Hi guys, noob grower here.
Just really wanted your help
I am only growing two plants for personal use and have made my own grow box and set up with lighting etc.
I already have a oscillating fan in the box however I have considered now to get this fan to bring air in?

all feedback would be greatly appreciated

can you give me your suggestions on this please and the purpose of doing it

These work great for intake and exhaust fans for like a 2x2 box! Do it

Cool man appreciate the response, it’s USB powered as well. Would it literally be as simple as using a power bank with it to keep it running?
As I’ll make be making a cut out in my box for the size of the fan
Is there any extra bits I need to do?

and will it work well alongside a oscillating fan (which I have in my box)

Yep! I’ll put a pic of how my fans are connected in my new tent!

When you do the cut out, I learned you should put something around the inside of the hole, between the fan and the wall.

They sell this stuff at hardware stores/Walmart. It’s just window sealant. It’s like a press on roll and 1/2 inch thick that’ll keep a great seal between the fan and wall.

I used it to make a seal on my door of my old box, I’ll put a pic of that too.
Check my grow journal to see more pics of the box in action :)

Oh and yes it’ll work fine with the oscillating fan

Thanks again bro!
Much appreciated
I’m assuming your growing photoperiod plants, which why you maybe suggested the sealant...
I’m growing 2 autos so should sealing it up be something to consider?
As from what I’ve heard light leaks do not affect autos

however if it is for a different reason then please shed some light on it

Thanks for da pics ! extremely helpful and them girls are looking nice and healthy.:weed:

I’d do the sealing more for air flow.

Are you cutting an intake hole?

I have one cut in the lower right of my box for intake and one in the upper left for exhaust.
Basically if you seal off everywhere BUT your intake hole, you’re gonna have an easier time controlling your environment.

And thanks man :) I got a whole new setup now and I’m loving it. Posting a pic to show off sorry
