I have a 4 inch intake fan and a 4 inch carbon filter I was using a 4×2 tent. I just upgraded to a 4×4 actually it's a 2 in 1grow tent however I have the intake fan on the outside of the tent pulling air through the carbon when I put my hand up to the fan I don't feel much air blowing out but before it was in the smaller tent I felt a lot. is this because it's a bigger tent or is it a leak in my ducting system.or do I not have it hooked up properly

You have the intake fan pulling air through a carbon filter and pushing it into your tent? You realize this will not remove any smell from inside the tent right? Pictures would be helpful....

no my intake fan is outside the tent sucking in air through the filter which is inside the tent when I had this in the smaller tent it was blowing out a lot of air now that I got a bigger tent not so much I'm just trying to see if maybe is it because I have Bigget Tent Or maybe I have a leak in a duct system

The vent i put a big red arrow pointing at. Is it better now?
Yes a little I put my hand over the fan does seem to blow out a little harder I also think it's just because it's bigger tent it's actually a 2in1 grow tent..its a 5 ft x 4 ft... 1 foot of is closed off for cloning and seedlings but I'm not using it.. however thank you for the great advice

No problem. The best way to improve air flow would be to connect the fan directly to the filter. Any way you can hang it from the ceiling like this?

Yes you want constant air circulation.
Do you know man I'm so pissed right now I told my girlfriend to get epsom salt because one of the plants starting to have some spots she gets fragrance-free dr. Teal's Epsom salt but it's not the Garden Salt and no wonder why my fucking plants are starting to look booked up I hope she didn't kill them
