I have two indoor tents 4x4x8. One of them is almost ready to flip to 12/12 and begin flowering. The other one right beside it is empty. I have the tent vented into the floor and exhausts outside. Here is my question....

Im fixing to harvest my outdoor girls tommorow night and was planning on harvesting and drying in the empty grow tent. Is there a way I can do this while preventing odor inside of the house without venting the air inside of the second grow tent out through the floor? I dont want to cut anymore holes in the floor. Heres what I have on hand.

1) A brand new phresh filter never been opened rated at 550cfms.
2) A 440 cfm inline fan
3) A 220cfm inline
fan..

Oh, and plenty of 6 inch ducting. Could I just set up the filter to fan (pulling) and just vent a line outside the tent into the open room or is there a better way of doing this? And would you go with the 440 fan or the 220 fan as my goal is to control odor no heat, lights involved. Sorry if this is an idiotic question just wanna get it all together before I reap. Thanks...

i would just hang the phresh filter up high and central in the tent. ducting going out of the tent and having the fan pull teh air through the filter and then through the ducting. i would use a fan speed controller with the higher powered fan or use the smaller fan with possibly speed controller... whichever is quieter. have small air intakes near bottom of tent. only use enough fan to create negative pressure (you don't want to dry them out too quick).

I have them hanging no odor whatsoever. I have the filter sittin in the floor and fan sucking air and pushing through the filter and thats it.

Ihave found a problem though I would like some advice with. Ive been finding pieces of bud rot here and there on the outdoor stuff. Ive dealt with rot before and its a bitch. Is there anyway that my seperate tent full of vegging babies could be in danger from the spores? I decided not to flip to 12/12 for another couple weeks. Now im worried..... And ive found a few bud worms here and there and a couple other insects, only in drying room not seen nothing in the other room.

Bump please. Im expirienced with growing with about 7 years under my belt but not with diseases. Do you think it would pose a risk to my vegging girls?

Yes. I think it poses a risk. This isn't to say it is immediately detrimental though.

You are risking contamination by bringing anything from the outside world into the grow space. Hell even touching with bare hands your outside garden and going and touching the inside garden could bring in unwanted guests.

I've always kept separate garden tools for my outdoor gardens and indoor potted plants for this reason.

And I know that powdery mildew is a concern for me so I make sure I'm clean and my clothes too when I'm in my tent.


Conversely, if your plants are healthy then they would have an easier time resisting pests.

Just be careful and feel everything clean. No cross-contamination.

I bought a large stand alone heppa filter w/ charcoal filter in one. cost was 219.00 from lowes. I have this run 24/7 on high power. this helps scrub any odor that may escape from my flower room (I have a massive carbon scrubber in the tent), and any veg/plant smell that might be lingering.

oh, and I just found the cheaper version of ona gel at my local dollar store. linen scent, and is odor absorbing. costs 2.00 and works absolutely perfect around the house.
