No problem, happy growing.

So where's the filter ? Inside the tent ? Any photos. Thought the carbon filter had to be inside

yes mate this is the best way to have your filter set up but it could take too much room in your tent
common mistakes are putting the fans round the wrong way

if the filter inside the tent
pull the air through the filter and exiting the tent


if the filter outside the tent

have the filter on end like kcbscrogger but you need to take the dust cover off and put it inside the carbon filter to stop the dust getting to the carbon
having the fan on top of the filter would be the best way for this setup with the fan blowing air down into the filter

keep the ducting as short as you can, so you want the ducting to go straight into the tent and hang about 1ft down

long ducting will reduce airflow, bends in the ducting will reduce air flow

buy a fan controller if your canopy temps are low as you can turn the fan speed down to increase your canopy temps and reduce the noise the fan makes

The carbon removes the odor from the air, so push air into the filter will remove odor and pump clean air out the sides of the filter

or pulling air though the filter removes the odor and clean air exits the end of the ducting
