I got home this evening and the oscillating fan in the op had stopped working. Damn thing is only a month old! Needless to say I ran to Wal-Mart and got a new one. this Lasko POS is going back to Lowe's tomorrow. I got an AC/DC camping fan that is working good at the moment. I like using the batteries in it but that will get pricey quick.

I also raised the light back up some and lifted my plants to it instead. It was getting low enough that the ducting was getting to be about 3' long and the booster fan I have as exhaust at the moment was starting to weaken at that distance. So, raise the light back up to shorten the duct and just raise the plants to where I want them. Good ventialtion restored for now

EDIT: My camera battery is dead. Pics tomorrow. Promise. All 3 are putting on their 6th set of leaves. It's about time to start training. The lowers look stressed out but the new growth looks good.

********Supplies
5" camping fan (for tents) $9 on clearance
6 'D' batteries - $5.50

How loud are your fans in your ducting system? I was thinking about a similar set up.

Hi Jash,

The booster fan is pretty loud for what it does. It sounds about as loud as a standard bathroom fan. If you have the closet door closed you can barely hear it. With the door open I have to turn up the TV to hear the dialog over the fan. I will HAVE to get a better fan in a few weeks when I go to flower. The booster fan will not work with a carbon filter or anything else obstucting airflow.

My recommendation .... If you have the $100 get an inline fan from HTG or the like. They have one right now that is a carbon filter/fan combo for 139 + ship. That is on my wish list right after first of the year

ya i was about to get one of those camping fans from walmart but i figured it would get pricey cuz you always gotta be replacin the batteries, did you get any fans from htgsuppply? i just ordered most of my set up from there and got one of the 4" booster fans that was only like 15 or 20 bucks wonderin if youve heard anything bout those?

The booster fan will work for ducting up to about 3 ft long. After that they get weak fast. I got my booster fan from HomeDepot but they are the same thing. The camping fan I found will take an AC adapter. (sold separately). I just happen to have a universal laying around here somewhere so ... SCORE.

EDIT: Lights on in about 45 min

chill and ya that fan i got doesnt have much ducting to go through but i was hoping it would be strong enough so i can use it with my carbon filter

Nope. Sorry. It will work for ventilation only. Carbon Filters will stop all airflow from an axial fan like these. You need a centrif fan ($100) for those filters.

ya i just dont got the money right now for one of those, went well over what i was expecting when buildin my grow box

I know how that goes. I am hoping to get a good fan in the next few weeks but I am stuck with this booster for now. As I mentioned earlier I will HAVE to get one when I go to flower.

The girls love the feeding they got. Good growth today. All 3 are working on 7th and 8th nodes. 5-6" tall. I moved the light down to 12" from tops.

I will start LST training tonight. Time to force some side branching.

Uploading pics now ...
