I grew indoor for years but life happened and now it's been 10yrs and I'm back! Lol ... well not yet but almost. 4x4x6 tent. 600w mh and hps bulb. 6" air cooled hood. 4" exhaust and carbon filter -> outside. The tent is in my heated and cooled basement. I have humidifier and dehumidifier on standby. I will be growing 4 maybe 5 autos for my first run and im sure will be heading back into my old photo wanna be pheno hunter/seed maker but that's for another time not now. My thing that I'm pondering is the 6"... The kit I ordered came with 4inch filter, fan, and hose but nothing for the 6" hood. So I am going to order a 6" fan, filter, and hose very soon maybe today.. With the central air staying at 68 everyday( wife is in those stages of womahood haha) I am going to need some heat I'm assuming. Should i save all the 4 inch for another tent and run my lights and filter all together on the 6" ? I was thinking I was going to use both the 4 for exhausting the tent thru filter and the 6inch with no filter for the lights. Any help clearing my mind up before I make an order would be greatly appreciated!!!

If the 4" CF is 16 inches long, then I would just get a 6" to 4" reducer and just use that CF, but then buy a cheap 6" booster fan, as a 6" booster fan hooked to the 4" CF by way of 6" to 4" reducer will provide better overall odor control, as opposed to you using a straight 6" fan on a 6" CF, because much more of the total filtering area on the CF will be used to filter the smelly and heated air being sucked out of your tent. Anyhow, welcome back, and good luck with you first welcome back grow!

Cause I had some mephisto seeds that were given to me and I thought I would use them to get started. Plus I'm very curious. 10yrs ago any auto that I knew of were not very good. I see they have changed.. I'm definitely a photo guy by heart. Just curious and free!
