I dunno mate...
It's the only way I have done it... and I have never had issues...
My op is 10x12x8... I run 4x 600watts... and I use a 6" 440 cfm fan with a very restricting 40lbs carbon filter...
But I am a newb.. so don't take my word for it...
Cheers Bro...
And just so we are clear... I think it's 127% cool that you call it out....
RIU needs more people willing to call things out and asking for the facts.... and more people to not take offense to it... 
Right on bro... people like you make RIU a better place to learn...  |
ty very much but im not trying to call anyone out. lol i was thinking it was a typo. i will go and read the whole thread and see if there is further talk about venting. i know that every room is different and i was curious about the air exchange per minute not just for the heat issue but for fresh air also.
thanks again for the kind words + rep. for you.
i dont use co2 and i do use cooltubes but i bring in outside air and its hot in the summer. for me the more air exchanges the better. i have a room that is about 180 cu.ft. and i use a stanley blower on high speed this time of year. the blower is 3 speeds 190 / 260 / 310 cfm 6" exhaust and 7" passive intake. will be an 8" passive intake next year. i have a lot of negative pressure. no carbon filter to restrict flow.
