I've always used a filter on the exhaust end of the fan (cent. fan). The reason being:

I put my hand on the intake of the cent. fan and it slowed down A LOT.

I put my hand on the exhuast and it didn't slow down a bit.

I'm also using a seperate fan for my 600w cooltube in order to maintain room temps.

I would do the same if I had a stealthy way to hide the filter on the outside of the OP.
As is, the fan is doing the job and temps are stable at around 75-80F
I know all the air being pushed into the other side of the basement is fresh and clean
and there is no dust being pulled into my fan housing. One thing about the canfan I bought.
The seam around the middle of the unit where the two halves meet isn't sealed very well.
I used some duct tape and put a band around the seam. It pushes a LOT more air now than before.

Well, whether or not it would be POSSIBLE I have no idea, can't find any info on the net about it.

But I can tell you it would be very IMPRACTICLE. A candle typically produces 13 lumens. You never want to use less than 2500 lumens, even for one plant. So you'd need what...nearly 200 candles just to reach the MINIMUM amount of light needed to grow ONE plant? I mean, and that's bare minimum. The more light, the better.

Another big problem with that would be that it would be a SERIOUS fire hazard. Sometimes the LIGHTS can be a fire hazard, could you imagine growing with an open flame? You would never be able to safely leave your grow alone. You wouldn't be able to have a fan going because it'd blow out the flame.

lol, so yeah, if you really think it through, nothing about the idea makes much sense.

I'm going to test and see what happens when I get this Vortex fan setup.. the commercial veggie growers I've spoken with have given me this advice:

"Always pull through a filter, never push."

BESIDES IT'S JUST FAWKING WRONG TO STEAL AND ALMOST AS WRONG TO CONDONE OR SUGGEST IT. BAD FORM MY FRIEND, BAD FORM!!!!!!

and on a more personal note...thanks, it's people like you that cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars a year replacing crap I find stolen, you know we can't work when you steal our stuff?!!?!?! Oh and those lights, that's called EGRESS LIGHTING, it's sole purpose is so we don't trip and kill ourselves at 5am when the fawking sun isn't even up yet. And when it's not in place OSHA comes and shuts down our job site because we are then in violation of federally mandated construction safety laws!!! Makes me sick when I have to be woken up by my Foreman because someone stole from our job site!!!!

YOU WANNA GROW POT FINE...DON'T STEAL FROM HARDWORKING PEOPLE TO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree bro, Don't steal!!!
