well, i meant to, but i'm sure he can see it.
had an friend that was bitching to me about having a hard time with his temp, so i came over to look at his set up. he was exhausting into the room the tent was in......
so just wanted to get the obvious shit out of the way first

Hi guys thanks a lot, my exhausting is up the chimney about 40 feet away from my filter, I use a ec hyper fan flowing 700m3 the fan is about 7 foot from my filter also but cannot put it any closer just yet till grow complaint. Run a big carbo air filter too 150ml .
I hv my intake been drawn in from the other side of my false wall in the front of my garage which gets lots of new air from my crap door hole in roof too.
That’s been drawn in by a tt100 4” to the bottom of my tent.
My exhaust I 6” EC hyper fan running 6” ducking to my filter in tent, outlet side of my fan has a 4” reducer due to my chimney flute not been any wider weird I know but measurements are that. Iv gone through my outer wall into Cavaty and then pushed it up into there.
Don’t get me wrong on a day say 22 degree out side garage same if not warmer so taking in hot air tho it don’t feel that hot when my hand is on the end as my garage is nice a shaded so that helps.
My tent is been sucked in a lot so I know I ain’t got a blockage.

Ok so here is a problem I face this GHC controller I use is a awsome peice of kit, I set my day temps to 27deg and 47% humidity. Night temps I set to 19deg and humidity 47% same as day time.
This kit altars to get closest as possible to my settings pics show 12 hrs on and 12 hrs off max and lowest temps/humidity no where near anyone see my problem here worrying it’s a few things or things I cannot control where it is garage back very sealed space.

Here is my lights off day time out side run info from controller, shows I’m not hitting my set temps 20deg, humidity is gonna be higher lights off coz plant leafs release water wile light is off. Adding that it’s 76 humidity but can u see how much my fans are working my fan is slowing as far down as it can go to keep temp close to 20deg it can which then gets not much out of my 4” ducting 30 foot length emmmm not good also this means my humidity is gonna be high if I’m not wrong as well decause my exhaust fan only working 26% speed.
Then u look at my TT100 intake fan and that running 16% slower coz I don’t want to bring in more cold air that till lower temps ferther.
Any info plz guys you have all helped so much already.
My take on this is I need to up my temp in tent lights off with 1or 2 tube heater under my plants, upping my temps lower my humidity and also make my fan run fast to keep temps down which then pulls more humidity out if that’s right also add a dehumidifier in my tent small one 1litre capacity so also Lower humidity. This would also draw in more great air maybe hit the nail on the head but your 2Pz would be my final choice. Thanks guys

is your light in the exhaust system? you didn't show, you just show the fan. this is the right way, except that i would place the filter above the light
like i said, just trying to cover the obvious stuff first

but you have an open reflector, that's the source of your heat right there, get a cool tube, hook your light to the air filter, and you'll drop temps and rh both.

Shit ye wow how did I not realise this little thing emmm my bad guys sorry, u learn just took someone to bring to my attention.
What temp differences u recon difference between them both as I’m over 4deg light on.
Won’t dropping temps higher the humidity mate.
im going to hv to finish this one off I think before I can make a lot of changes to my set up and area, but would u when I get a cool tube keep fan outside tent been told to pop it in the tent up to my filter.

Here’s some pics of my 1st day of week 4 flower so many tops, I counted about 50ish on all 6 plants some hv more than others but not bad for my first attempt and fair few problems along the way including not monitoring Ph for all of veg.
Also added a dehumidifier in my grow room not tent on a timer to come on when light is off to bring temps up higher and hopefully lower humidity.

you can mate the fan to the filter if you have room, but there's really not a huge advantage to it, i have my fan sitting in a heavy cardboard box wrapped in old towels, with holes cut in the box for the hose. it cuts the noise considerably.
your room temps should drop anywhere from 5 to 10 degrees F.
the reason it will help with RH is that most of your RH in your grow tent is coming from plant transpiration. if you drop the temps, the plants won't transpire as much, so the rh goes down. it always drops when the lights are on and rises when they go off. if you can keep it under 50% lights on and 60 lights off, you should be good, 40 lights on and 50 lights off would be better, but with good ventilation you should be ok

Ye I do hv the room but doing this I cannot hv a aircooled hud so I guys I’d hv to hv it just really close to out side my tent. Was wondering if I could put another fan online to help get the air flow out better as my fan is a good 30 feet from chimney, maybe one of my heat and humidity problems.
Just hope the new hood for my next set up does bring humidity down so many people on the internet say they don’t and can increase it due to temps been lower, shore don’t want that. Also the loss of lumins is a big problem so many say but no facts to prove but I do take your word Matey.

maybe look into one of these about half way down your 30 foot exhaust hose. the straighter you can run the hose, the better it is, if you have any unnecessary bends in it, straighten them out, a 90 degree corner is like adding 15 feet of hose.
i'd put my fan outside the tent, there's never enough room in a tent....

Sorry Hose I mean I hv a bent in the tent but can get that out easy, I hv a bend going into my chimney breast that’s it so not too bad but that one I cannot get rid of. The 3rd picture u can see my ducting goes from 6” to 4” so it fits in my chimney flute.
After the 4 picture it goes diagonal upwards a little for 6 feet and then has it’s 90 bend into chimney.
