I have an 8" IPower filter/fan from Amazon and I think it's great, it's been running almost non-stop for about 1 1/2yrs and cannot smell anything coming out the exhaust vent. My 400 watt hps light is IPower also, runs great and getting my moneys worth.

You're saying ipower actually kills the smell?

I got the vivosun 6" setup 440 cfm and it's working really well. The heavier metal inline fan, not the plastic one you mention. I saw too many reviews that the 390cfm plastic one was underpowered.

VIVOSUN 6 Inch 440 CFM Inline Duct Fan with 6 Inch Carbon Filter Odor Control with Australia Virgin Charcoal: Amazon.ca: Patio, Lawn & Garden

I have it Filter > Fan -> 600W Hood -> exhaust in a 4x4

I can put my hand a couple of inches under the hood without it feeling hot.
My basement is 71 and the tent is 76.

You should have less bends then me and less heat to deal with.

Oh and as far as noise goes I have it on full blast and my furnace is louder, just white noise. You can dim it down if you find it loud but it's really not a big difference power wise. It drops from 1.2 amps to 0.9 amps.

didn’t purchase the new fan last night. surprising because i was hammered. i better double check to make sure, ha.

G Bear · May 24, 2020

I’m gonna order this one later on today, unless people chime in and tell me it’s shit.

A lot of credit for this plant should go to @Airwalker16 and @New Age United , RIP. I did my best to over water them, thinking I had it under control when I didn’t, repeatedly. I’ve gotten a better handle on it the past few weeks, but only because they helped me out. It’s most likely not totally dialed in yet. @New Age United had been seeking out this strain for years. I feel terrible that he passed away before getting ahold of some seeds. I hope I can make some nice buds in his honor.

im day drinking lagunitas and smoking some master kush.

I know he was really trying to get a hold of that strain Dakini Kush Seeds I found a supplier and the soul breeder for the strain online through New Age united but the thing is I can’t find anybody to mail them to me because the provider for the stream does not ship outside of US and I am East Coast Canadian

Its Shit.
The fans horrible. The last one, black and red, is what you want. Filter I've heard G Hydro is decent.

is there a decent one and done combo?

No. Get the fan without the speed controller because it's a 3 step one. Get a variable one that works like a potentiometer"dimmer". And try the G Hydro filter if you're on a budget

hey first grow.

4x2 tent
dakini kush strain
mars sp250
4” inline fan w/filter 24/7
nutes are dr jimz chicken soup for soil every other watering
2 small oscillating fans inside tent
rh controlled w/ inkbird stays around 45%
5 gal fabric pot w/ happy frog soil

i started 5 plants and veg them until they hit about 18” tall then flipped to 12/12 two weeks ago. i was hoping to take 2 plants through flower. however, 4 out of 5 are male. i tossed them and am left with the one female.

my question is how should i proceed now? should i just finish the grow so i can start my feminized seeds sooner? or should i go back to 18/6 and start a scrog? how much of a setback would that be going back to veg?

not sure which way i am leaning on this. i just want to have an idea of my options moving forward. anyway, here she is...

keep flowering this plant, but also go buy a 75$ 4ft T5 light and start your fem-seeds now.By the time this is finished flowering your fem seedlings will have been under another 4-5 weeks of 20-24hour T5 light and be perfect sized for your flowering chamber.

G Bear · May 24, 2020

yeah, gonna keep flowering this plant. will start a couple of the fem seeds in a couple days once i get home from cape cod. not getting the new light at this point. will just put the seedlings in the tent during lights on and in sunroom during lights off.

i ordered the red/white vivosun 6” fan, g hydro 6” carbon filter, and 8’ piece of 6” ducting. won’t all get here til first week of june.

gonna be hot this week, hopefully the current fan setup can keep the plant from getting totally cooked

Dammit you didn't listen! That speed controller only has low med and high settings. Guessing the ones without controllers on the cord are hard to find right now. I would dead seriously cut it out of the circuit and reattach the cord together and then plug it into one of these.

Or any of the many others brands like it. I just have this one and it's flawless. You're really supposed to use one of THESE though.

I wouldn't worry, my plants grow fine and it's been 32c-35c every afternoon and 30c at night where I live.

G Bear · May 24, 2020

i’ll just go with low, medium, or high setting. i sortve listened, lol

This is the exact same set up I have 6 inch Vivosun in-line fan, works great

G Bear · May 25, 2020

Can anybody tell me if this dehumidifier will be enough? it’s pretty small. half a liter. 12 oz can for size reference. 2x4x6 tent

I honestly never even used a dehumidifier before unless my humidity is like really crazy like something like 65+ percent then I’ll look into getting one maybe lol

And quite honestly, that's why a fan speed controller is so amazing. Just turning up the speed can lower humidity levels dramatically

I always have my 6 inch on full blast when the lights are on and the humidity levels are always around low 50s to mid to high 40s
