i seem to always manage at least one fuck up per grow

Yea big job jimy!
I thought the same thing and bought a submersible pump and grabbed a length of hose from work haha. Tested it out today in a 50 litre container. Worked great until it got down to the last 20 litres then started sucking air. Had to hand water that last 20 litres anyway! Might have to get a bigger container!?

And yea, exactly jimy. Keeps humidity down too. It becomes a hot box in there otherwise.
I’ve got a German made 2 stage exhaust fan that moves I think 570m3 of air, draws 48 watts and is super quiet. I’ve also used my insulated ducting, Can’t hear fan from about 3m away from greenhouse!
I’ve also got a carbon filter attached to minimise smell.
Works awesome.

Yea bigger container maybe one of those plastic drums or something like that would do the trick?. I would just tip out the last dregs of it or add more water an nutes an then keep pumpin it out onto the plants. You must have good neighbours to get away with having that forest in the middle of ur back yard.. Reckon i might look into runnin carbon filter for my next grow sounds like its workd out alright for ya an old dusty reckons he had good results when he used to run one aswell..

bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki for cats and other leaf eating grubs.

bacillus thuringiensis israelensis for gnatts

Sorry, those two I can't source easily. Nice idea whilst it lasted, 'though.

Yea that’s what I’m thinking jimy...
And as for the neighbours, I’m running the gauntlet I really should tie a couple of the young colas sticking up over the cover, but once that’s done, only one neighbour could see by looking over the fence but he’s an awesome old timer, and I doubt very much hed narc, we get on pretty well.
Only other issue could be 3 houses that if they were to get up on their roof and have a good look at my backyard then I’d potentially be sprung.
So far the smell hasn’t been an issue at all. bit smelly in the greenhouse but the carbon filter is taking care of that (no smell at all on outside of greenhouse!)
Carbon filters are must haves to eliminate odour but it has to be somewhere fairly contained to work, like indoors, in a greenhouse, a shed etc.

I have my greenhouse 80% closed in I might have to look at closing in the remaining 20% and setting up a carbon filter
As I have my shed on the south side of greenhouse I hsave plenty.of options on where to run a filter from stealthily

 

[JimyTheCook]

Big carbon filter an fan would work great in my set up would have to source a quite one or insulate/sound proof it..
Far as waterproofin it would ya just make some sorta tin shroud or something over it from it to stop it becoming water logged

Bit of tin folded into dome shape be the go i reckon, cost nothin either if ya go some old stuff layin round

As long as your exchanging the air inside the greenhouse beernutz, (or dosing co2) then it should be perfect!
I don’t know why more people don’t use greenhouses?
You can control the environment like indoors and have a light source better than any hids or LEDs and it’s free!

Im all for savin a dolla where ever i can..
What are you running the outside filter for

Worth investing in a decent exhaust fan from my experience jimy.
It should be cheaper to run, move more air, quieter and last years!
The good thing about exhaust fans is they are internally cooled so you can insulate the shit out of them without overheating the motor.
I think it’s called a muffle box? You can diy one to keep noise right down.
I also recommend getting insulated ducting, will reduce noise even further.

I figure you guys aren’t looking at hanging a carbon filter/exhaust fan outside in the open?? Won’t be too effective if planning on doing that imo. You really need plants to be somewhere that’s fairly boxed in so the fan/filter can filter the air around plants....

Yea nah that would be a no brainer..
