Grow box intake from outside

**weeb** · 03-31-2008, 09:32 AM

I'll have my grow box in the corner of my bedroom. I'm willing to put a hole in my wall to the outside in which the intake will suck in air from outside. However, before I go for it- is it that much better than just sucking air from my bedroom?

Yes it would be better to draw the intake from outside, you just dont want to suck in hot air from outside or you will have a heat problem in the grow room. But having an intake on the inside is good to. It would make it easier to control the heat.

draw from your bedroom unless you plan on filtering the air that you pull from outside.

youre plants may not be hurt from the heat gained from outside air, but you will get hot!

It is better to exhaust to the outside. Keeps temps stable by drawing in the climate controlled air and takes care of the odor by throwing it outside. If you do this make sure to put your exhaust hole up high as heat rises.
