Looks ok mate, I would personally connect the filter direct to the fan and reduce the bend on your exhaust.
Sharp bends restrict air flow. GL
 
I was thinking that myself, But i couldn't afford the clips thats put the both the filter and fan together rather than the jubilee clips then the ducting. I've spend a good wedge this week around £350. The jubilee clips done the job I'd rather have the other clips I forgot there name aragghhh, I'm literally running on a budget and I've got £30 left over in case a need anything during my grow then that's it all my budget blew.

Yer looks fine, dont worry about the bend, mainly those fans pull far too much air anyway :-)

Cheers buddy that's what i was a little worried about to be honest I didn't want the fan and the filter hanging any lower, I wanted it at high up as possible, There is a vent in the tent that is on the side off the tent where the fan is that I could put the ducting out off there but I'd rather have it coming out the top where the little bend in the ducting is Simply because I have a air vent in the wall that I have ripped off cleaned down and put the exhause tubing in so all the air will be going out the lol I stead off putting it's near a window or worse still out a window.
 
Also guys how many plants 4 do you think? Ill habe 6 seeds all together I want to run 2 White widow and 2 Royal cheese the widow is from RQS aswell as the cheese.
 
Yeah my filters in the back corner and then it Feeds out the roof porthole, to my fan that sits on the roof, and it also helps to deaden the sound and vibration a little bit too, as well as getting the heat outside the tent
 
I can't give you a picture right now because I'm in dark time but my filter is inside in a back corner, it Feeds out the hole in the roof where the inline fan sits on the roof outside the tent, and then the fan continues to exhaust out of the room

But you're fine the way you are as well just mentioning how I do it to try to keep as much heat outside the tent as I possibly can
 
Leaves ahould dance a touch, thermometer should not be in the light.

This is your basic setup, do not create a lot of wind but the right amount. Learn to read air temps not light radiation.

The rest is simple :-)

Dammm that's the only things I missed, I thought I missed something I should of bought a few off them digital temperature them little square things and put them in each pot and have one hanging in in the tent, I've also got a clip on fan I ordered off the site so ill have a fan blowing not directly at my plants but circulating the tents.You So is this a good setup in your opinion? Sorry for rambling just with it been my first setup I just want everything done good and properly. I'm sick to death of paying money for weed down here and getting next to nothing a ounce in £220-240 where I live around 15 year ago it was about £100-120, it's extortion now.


Forgot to ask you there buddy, You said "leaves should dance to touch" at the beginning off what you said I'm confused and stoned lol
 
Connect the Fan Direct to the filter,with Belt strap,from shop.And gaffer tape.Inlet and plants jobs a good en.Get inside the tent and zip it up while in there ,to check for light leaks.Make sure a friend does not put a padlock on the zips like we did to a kid once ,he was in there hours

Do you mean using these instead off using the ducting and the jubilee ties and just using these?, Like connect the fan to the filter then obviously just having the ducting coming out of the other side off the fan??

I thought about buying them I wish I did now, At least I've got my first ever propped set up lol!! You know what I might actually just buy a couple now and put them on myself I'm not starting this next run for another 2 weeks anything, All I'm waiting for is now my white widow seeds (I've already got my royal cheese) and another bag off coco I've only got one bag at the minute and I might need another.

While your here tyke I've talked to you a few times on the forum and you seem a wealth of information, Do you reckon one 50L bag will fill 4 12litre Rhizo pots?
 
Yep there the ones dude ,they have foam on the back that helps stop air leaks.They help connect say a 4 inch fan to a 4 inch filter.Still use Gaffer tape to get them connected it makes it easier.Put a piece of tights over the duct, where you pull air into the tent ,to stop any small bugs getting in ,just zip tie that .By using that belt,it will give you more air intake through filter

Get a Clamp Fan that you can put on the sides of the tent ,on the poles,for air movement.Saves on Floor space ,plus you can have it at light level to help keep that light heat down.

Yeah I thought they where the ones I've just ordered two there and some tiewraps to use to hang some other stuff up like my thermometer for temps inside the tent, Quick question while your here again dude sorry for the question you must be sick by now me asking but im a noobb and your expierinced compared to me, but what is the ideal temps have got to be in a tent? With my carbon and fan I'm sucking air out off the grow room and not sucking air in? Please don't take the piss if im saying things wrong here im still learning lol But I understand you can use your fan as a exhaust and intake where as im using mine as a exhaust sucking air out off my grow tent, Ill also buy a little clip on fan to keep air moving. But not pointing right at the plants but circulating round the grow room? I've spent a canny bit this weekend just gone mind lol
 
Are you referring to passive intake or forced intake (a fan sucking air into the ten)?. Passive intake is this: you open the air vents at the bottom of the tent (I open two screened vents at the bottom) and let the exhaust fan suck air out of the tent which in turn creates negative pressure inisde the tent which will draw in fresh air from the open screened vents at the bottom of the tent. Forced intake is a fan blowing fresh air from outside the tent into the tent. I believe passive intake is what you are referring to.
 
I believe it might be passive intake forgive me I'm a newbie to growing, Ill try and explain,

i have my carbon filter hung up then I have the ducting from the carbon filter will be attached to the fan, Then the fan will be in the middle then there will be more ducting coming out off the other side off the fan, Then that ducting will be coming out off the top off the tent sat on top off it with air blowing air out,

But there is a vent on my wall where my tent is so instead off it hanging out the window (which looks suspicious) I've took the vent off cleaned all inside the vent in my wall (you can see outside through this vent) then ill place the ducting in when I've cleaned it out.


But all in all my carbon and my fan is blowing air out off my tent, I had it on just then and my fan sucked in a bit, Is this normal?
