    Anyone try running this as exhaust yet? and how about adding carbon into the bucket will it work?

    I saw these Honeywell fans at Home Depot for $15 yesterday.

    I'm almost sure I am going to make another one to use for fresh air exhaust; so if I do I would love to add a filter there.
    I don't have any experience there ; so I thought I would wait to see others can come up with.

    Believe me if you get the thing assembled proper it works incredibly well and is far quieter than any canfan.
    The trick for this design, in my opinion, is the tapered flower pot outlet deal that funnels the air quietly and efficiently.

    What is the size of your room. And temps before and after. My 4x5 tent gets 80s without a circulation fan. And if your temps are lower id definitely make this on Saturday.

    Fantastic idea definitely sounds cheaper then buying one. You could probably sell them to local growers in your area for double what it cost to make it

    Hey FM,
    I was thinking about reducing the intake side of your design to a 4" opening so i can straight mount it to my grow tent's 4" vent holes. Would you think that reduction is going to create too much static/air friction to make this a useful design?
    I was thnking i could probably add a 2nd bucket top sealed on to the bucket (intake) opening with a 6" collar hooked up to a 6-4 reducer...so air would move: vent from tent --> 4" end of 6-4 reducer --> 6" end of 6-4 reducer -->6" collar --> can fan --> 6" collar --> 6" ducting --> exhaust

    let me know your thoughts if you get a chance
    be easy!

    Good one! Thanks for sharing and by the way nice lighting set up too!
