Ive done a few in door grows but with 1 600 and just had my temps run around 82 high I now that's why im trying to do the fans and stuff.. Well I need to know how I run the ducting and everything.. Were do I put the fan/filter combo before the lights between them ect, how do I use a 8" fan with 6" cool tube??, what size ducting would I then use?? Sorry just like doing things right the first time..lol.. Tent is 4.5x4.5x7 and having 15-20 autos, and I have others going outside but that you never know if your stuff will be there next time you go to check so im going all out this yr to be safe..

Hey, thank you very much but I thought for some reason I only needed the fan/filter combo but that says I need 2 fans, also what is that bug trap thing I mean how does that work inside of the ducting, sorry I know this is prob a dumb?? cause I feel kind of stupid asking it..lol.. So if I use LED lights instead of HPS how do I run the fan/filter ducting and everything.. Cause im thinking of getting 2x400 LED or 2x 600w not sure but I want more than enough light don't want to be skimpy on it.. Do I just hang the fan/filter combo and have ducting just go right out the tent, does that work?? and can I run ducting from my AC directly into the room or what im sorry my indoor grows where always half assed but still good results with just open door on closet and 85+ temps lol so now I want to have ducting and fans and filter combo and a 1000 mg Air Ozone Generator Ozonizer Air sterilizer 1jr to take care of the stink.. Sorry I know im all over the [place just scrambling to get everything together as usual last minute..

You say you want to do it right? well then stop! do not rush and do your research first. your seeds will not germinate themselves or disappear... I am new so don't take anything I say at face value. But I can give the advice of don't rush, you can plan wrong and set it up all wrong, costing you money, killing your plants or by attracting attention by not venting and scrubbing right.

HID will give you most light. not CFL or LED.

lol don't need that advice but thanks.. Please just answer the ??.. I have done everything I just want to get the stupid air filer/ fan things set up right.. Just seeing what would be best by some other peoples experiences, not to have someone tell me to do more research.. HID is the past boss.. LED is the way to grow now.. Think im going with 2x400w or 2.600w or 1x800w LED just not which combo im going to go with in my 4x4x6.5 tent.. If you have some ideas as to which light combo then let me know..

Your first post you say "Also me getting 1x1000w Quantum Ballast with a 48" cool tube is also a option if that may work better for my situation" that is for an HID light.
last post you say "HID is the past boss.. LED is the way to grow now.."
huh?

anyways to use 8" fan with 6" cooltube (also HID) use a reducer.
ventilation seems to be the hardest to do right.

trying to help you avoid history.
screw it, good luck with that.

like my post or not, my response bumped your post.

Lol. The amount of reading I sent you in the above link goes into excellent detail about how to do this and not make a mistake and its about a 5 minute read.

he was talking to me I believe computergroove.
i'm reading that link now though. seems like good read. its incredible the amount of contradictory info you'll get from people though when you ask.

Heath Robinson has touched on this. He says that the internet is full of "experts". Take what you read with a grain of salt or watch the replies to a post before acting.

yup that's why I say I am new, so I don't steer him wrong by listening to me. Its also the reason why you research to have a better idea knowing when someone is feeding you shit.


maybe bmeat can come on here and give him advice.

Just remember pull through your filter push through your lights. I'm setting up a similar rig right now. 2 1000w hps. It goes filter then fan then to light, I have a booster fan in between the lights and then to outside. Pretty simple. 8" fan should be enough.

I figured it out.. I just always see people with 1 thing of ducting run from 1 side to the other and fan/filters are in a few different spots so I just wanted to know the best way to run it.. But your diagram showed 2 different ductings, 1 inside and 1 outside that's what I was a little confused about.. Whats your thoughts about 2 filters ran in 1 tent to prevent odors totally hopefully.. Going to get this light that has a fan built into a cool-tube and I was going to run the ducting from top left back of tent to the light and after the light put a filter and run ducting outside of the tent maybe 1ft and put another filter.. Does this sound like it would work?? Heres the light im getting... [h=2]400 Watt Super Cool Grow Light & Ballast Combo Pack[/h]

My current set up with a 400 I have one carbon filter mounted in the top left corner of my closet up towards the top to pull hot air and smell out. Filter ducted to hood (or cool tube) and then ducted to inline 4" fan (160cfm) that pulls air and ducted out in my attic. So you want to get that hot air out. How big is your setup (grow area??). If I could do it again (or my next upgrade) would be to get a 600W hid/hps dimmable ballast, 6" fan like 400 cfm with speed control. That would be my flowering setup. You shouldn't need (2) carbon filters to kill the smell. LED if you want for veg, but still kinda expensive and won't yield as much for the dollar so...I will continue to deal with heat and more light for now. They have ducts to go from 8 to 6 so you can play around with that. If it is still to hot....well then you might have to duct cool air in from bottom outside of area where cooler air is then through your setup directly through light and get another fan (seperate run) to pull air through filter and ducted out.

Thanks see that's what I was looking for right there.. So if you look at the light im getting I would have the Ducting from outside tent top back left, come into tent have my filter and the ducting(ft or less) then my fan which is connected to my cool tube 138CFM and then ducting to the top right back.. What do you think about putting another air filter on top of my tent as the last thing.. So 2 filters to totally kill the smell.. Please let me know if you don't understand, im new to running ducting and fans/filters so I may have not explained it right
