Hey guys i dont post alot on forums so i beg ur pardon for my shitty paragraphs and spelling etc... anyways heres my issue i have a 4x4x6.5ft grow tent and currently i have 2 inline fans... both 6 inch... one for the cool tube and one for air flow ... i wnt to hook up my room exhaust to my cool tube and take out an inline fan..
Air_flow_2[1].jpg:?:<<<< the other inline fan is inside of the tent wall

now what ive been worried about is the moisture going into the cool tube and messing up my bulb... but my room never goes over 35%... and exhausts into the room anyways ..... :wall:

Hmm. Ideally with that setup I'd try to suck the air out and push it out a window if you could with the 6in. Then have a 4in intake fan for cool air. You also gotta think about the way warm air rises. Exhaust should be towards the top of the tent, and intake should be on the opposite side of the tent so the cold air crosses the length of the tent and the entire height. This cools more evenly and doesn't allow for air pockets of high heat or humidity to build.

Looking great man. If you can run the cool air tubing low to the ground that'll help keep the pressure up. But if your temps are good, then don't mess with it. Awesome.
