I have a concern about my upcoming grow of vegetables .... :joint:


I bought the CAN-33 Filter and it turns out this thing is a BEAST... i was expecting a small 12 pound filter.. here its this HUGE 2 foot wide 36 pound filter. Im having trouble finding a way to suspend this thing in the air , connected to a High velocity Inline fan,, about 450CFM.. Anyway all of this needs to be suspended i guess, inside my DR100 Dark Room .. Im guessing ill have the filter inside and the fan outside sucking air through it ovbiously.... The problem is the frame only supports 65 pounds. I guess i could strap up the filter to the top frame .. but then the question is how do i suspend the fan outside of the tent without making modifications to my apartment...


In addition to the 30 some pound filter i will have a 250W HPS light and a few LED UFO's and a 120W LED panel and a few CFLs and a UVB... All in all i shoudl be able to support all of the weight but are there any suggestions on how i can suspend the fan .. in the air at the top of the outside of the tent to remove the hot air as suggested by many of the fine participants of this website without making crazy modifications and ALSO keeping the noise level way down!!!! I have a fan speed control but i am afraid i will lower the speed to less then required by the CAN filter to suck the air out..




Also Would i be correct in saying that two 250CFM 6" inline fan's will be capable of cooling a 250W HPS light in a sealed case?

Put the filter outside the tent and run the ducting into the top of the tent. Not the optimal setup, but it works when you can't suspend it from the top of the tent. I have a Can-66 so I feel ya brotha. I just bought a tent and I had the same concern, but my can is just going to have to sit outside.

I switched my current veg closet to this setup to see if it would make a difference in temps and it didn't change one degree over 12 hours so it should be fine.

In the situation you presented what would you do with the inline fan? I guess you would just suspend the inline fan to the top of the tent instead of the filter and push air instead of pull? Is that what you mean? Not a bad idea, not optimal but better then something that wont work at all.. plus rep!

What if i could elevate the filter slightly on a table or small ladder and have it near the top of the tent but not exactly at the very top.. would this drastically effect the temperature and the exchange of the heated air from the top of the tent?

That would work if you have the room to waste on a ladder or table. And yes you would have the air "push" instead of pull if you want to look at it that way.

Personally I'm going to put the can 66 outside and run it the other way, I didn't see a noticeable degredation in performance.
