Default Air Handling for 4'x4'x8' 430watt flower room
A lot of people have asked about my air system. So here will be a picture run thru for all that asks me any thing.

This is the main flower room


It has the 430 watt hps and the ballest is in there.

For the rest of the pictures click for larger.

air inlet to the right of the door.

The dryer tube is attached to the inside of the inlet. On the othe end is a cheap AC fan , those little black or silver one i have a lot. The fan is on the 12/12 timer and only runs when the lights are on.

air inlet to left of door. It is set up for winter grow. With winter set up only the dryer box is attached to the inlet. I tape over the rest. AC/Heater vent is rignt there. so it is blocked off for winter. This room doesn't need more heat. Then look in the grow room and you can see the dryer hose attached to the inlet. The hose runs up to the ballest for the light.

The summer grow I let the AC blow in the vent. The grow room stays 76 deg f 2" under the 430 watt hps.

hose runs up to fan and ballast.

in the end of the hose is a little 12 volt fan that only run when the lights are on. The little black AC fan is just blowing on the 12/12 part of the grow I'm doing at the time of post.

stay cold.

The next part is the gutts of the system. I'm using a 350 fpm blower to pull air from the flower room thru the filter, thru the blower, and out of the room to vent out side on second floor window.

I never turn this fan off!

exit out top blower DIY filter.

I use this DIY Carbon Filter or this is the same Coffee Can Filter

hose exhaust out side 2nd floor window.

fan under light to move hot air away.

winter tempature/humidity

Next is the Veg/clone/mother cab.


hose between both cabs. I have a little 4" inline fan from home depot in the white cab to blow air into the flower room.

inlet into flower room from veg.

I'll do an update with good pics of the veg room later.

Next is the Dryer box.

in use.

it's just a rubber maid box. I have a 12 volt DC fan that runs any time there is stuuf in the box.

one off the screens.

leaves for hash and yes I smoked them also.

Good question +rep,

No at the time no co2. If I add co2 I will update this. For now and I don't have the $ it's fine as is. You know "If it ain't broken".

you could always throw a couple milk jugs in there with water yeast and sugar and poke a hole in the lid and get some fermentation co2 going on, it would probably work well with a room your size.

That fan sucks all the air out every 3 minutes, so unless I invest in more equiptment, fan timers and co2 timers and all the other that go with it. It's on hold until this Pres. gives me $600 like the last one.

Thats about the only thing good from the last Pres. paid for my set up.

for the fan on the dryer box is it blowing in or out? and should I leave it on 24-7 when drying the bud? or however long it takes.

Good question. The fan (12v comuter fan) sucks air out of the dryer box and into one of the intakes for the flower chamber. That way I just need one filter. The mother/cloning/veg box also dumps into the flower room it just has a bigger fan (4" 120v inline).

And Yes! the fan on 100% with product in the dryer.

Thank for the rep those are always nice I'm at 269 now.

Running intake through the dryer? That's a great idea, think I'll use it in my next setup. Though I do have an extra filter and fan, but we'll see what happens.

As for the dryer, are those screens pre-made or did you have to cut the screens and fashion the frames on yourself?

I made them out of 1" x 2" wood strips cut to fit.

then I attached some alum. screen.

Stackable dryer trays then I hang the tops of my planys from the lid.



--------------------------
The mother/cloning/veg box also works the same I just need the one big fan with the filter the small boost fans between the two attachments.
