I have my outdoor grow going well and into flowering and I'm loving everything about it. So I went ahead and bought everything I need to start myself a grow during the winter. I got a carbon filter and the whole works of things recommended, my question is do I have to run the vent that goes out of the tent out of a window or something? Or can it just pump into the room? I was planning g on growing in my basement and idk how I would be able to get a vent to go outside?? I would appreciate any answers or recommendations!!
It depends. When you vent out, you're venting hot, humid air. So if there isn't a way to cool that air down and remove the moisture, well you're just creating a humid jungle in your basement, which can lead to mold, and damage to your house as well as your crop. It's not really as simple as a yes or no answer. It really depends on your environment, how big the grow is, your method of growing eg hydro, soil. .. how big the pots are... How big the plants are ... Etc etc If you just have one or two small-med plants then the amount of moisture given off will be alot less then 10. Know what I mean
Generally, the easiest thing is to vent out of the house through a port in the wall or window, away from foot traffic (not in the front of your house or right onto a deck where you may choose to sit with company) sometimes even the best filters won't scrub out 100% of the smell and for someone with a 'clean' nose the smell is easily noticed.
Other 'heatbag' moves include venting through a wide open window. Why is there a window open in the middle of winter and why is there ice buildup all around it. I duno. Things I see when looking at peoples grows. Even though it maybe legal, discretion is my preference.
