That's about the size

That's about the size of mine. I have my set up a Lil different tho. I did have ducting hooked to ac..vent in ceiling pulling that cold air through the duct cooling the light, then the ducting goes through the wall into the carbon filter in a nother room. But the room seem to not be getting rid of hot stale air..so I unhooked it from a vent and now I have a coming into room and exhaust fan sucking hot air out sending it into the other room through the carbon filter.

Were set up like identically lol. Except for I do individual 5 gal buckets and leds. I would never use HPS in a tent. Fuuuuuck that.

Man our setups are very similar. I pull cold air in to my tent from my ceiling ac vent room haha. But I vent my air through a filter and out of the room to the rest of the downstairs.

Well I started doing that way, with co2 my temp didn't get higher than 82..but I have to put my account down to 65. And it kept the stale hot air in, so that's why I removed it from the ac vent and just have it ducking the hot air our and bringing cold air in. I also can't shut my tent because then it will Def get to hot, so my hole room is basically the grow room, and I leave the tent open..now my temp high is like 79

Because my last grow I used mg..and right before it went into flower all the leaves started turning bright yellow, so I figured at that time the nuts must be running out. But it didn't make since because the bag say's it feeds up to 6 months

There are balls in the soil made of a water dissolvable wall that take weeks to finally bust open. Yellowing is often over feeding, not under.

If you have negative pressure your tent won't get to hot. Do your tent walls suck in when it's all zipped up?

Oh RLY?! I almost got one but found out they use pellet carbon and it turned me off from em. So I just bought a Phat by HydroFarm. They're the only company that has a TON of scientific data and lab test results on their site showing why they're better than others so it sold me to try em.

Its almost 2 years old and my wife who doesn't smoke made mention for the first time that she *thinks* she might have caught a whiff. Its worked well for me, but Im always open to better or less expensive. I must have 6-7 grows with it easily. It was one of the most expensive things I've had to buy for my rooms though :(

If the room that the tent is in runs cooler (high 60's low 70's) you can just use the exhaust fan and leave the inlet passive if your exhaust fan is strong enough.What are your cfm?

Not sure about cfm...but it's a 6in exhaust fan, about 20 inch. The fan is sucking all the air from the whole room. But when I zip the tent up, it's still pulling everything from the room..not just inside tent

Exactly. Like I said, open a flap with the mesh at the bottom half way, and duct your hot air out into the room through the filter or ducted out of the room is even better. That tent needs to suck inwards
