@mrt I haven't really heard an 8" RVK fan or anything mate so I don't really know but compared to my 4" RVK which don't make alotta noise it's about the same, I'm pretty happy with it although the noise of the air which is bein pushed out a hole in plywood which is over the window is still pissin me off cos it's just in a spare room in a house, so goina have to build a wall so when I go in the room it's partitioned off, that's on the cards tomoro so hope that helps, also insulating the wall which leads to the room beside. All this fuckin effort but once I'm done it's goina be a good job and it'll all pay off

My fans hung off bungees m8, there's is no real noise, no real vibration either, its fuckin massive for a fan, about 12" diameter and about 90cm long lol! I think mines will do a good job for smell anyway. When I close the door of the room I can feel it sucking the door open when I have it nearly shut so it should do the job, what size is urs ic3?

If you have the correct exhaust and a suitable intake vent then there should be no requirement for active intake. One of the better things about physics :) The exhaust fan is as a result also the intake fan courtesy of negative pressure.

I just bought alcoholic ginger beer and peppered grill steaks for tea :)

Tachno blah blah lmao, mate I'm on the same boat as u lol, I'm still learning. I just splashed out on everything I think I need for this bigger grow cos I kept all the cash from my last crop for it, as for the small intake along with the large exhaust, the 4" intake is what my hydro store recommended, I just ask him for the big extractor and a suitable intake to go with it and that's what he gimme. I thot u loved all ur techno blah blah? U do when it comes to computers and shit anyway lol

I got the intake cos it's a sealed room, well as sealed as I can make it, as I said before without the intake on the extraction sucks like fuck on the door when it closing it u can feel the suction

IC3 I'm feeling a bit better today so I'll try and explain it a little better for you.
1 you want your extraction fan and filter at the back of the room away from your door as you open the door the only thing apart from you getting in is fresh air.
2 If your using a 6" extractor and a 4" intake chances are your not refreshing the air fast enough meaning smell leaks!!!! The reason for this is the filter will slow your air flow and could even be causing positive pressure.
3 In your diagram your intake was at the furthest point away from your door, which is where your extraction should be!!! with you not being in a sealed room a passive intake system should benefit you greatly.
4 hang your filter at the furthest point from your door and connect your filter to it directly run your ducting up into the attic and then use the 4" fan as a booster to help move the air out of your outlet, you will only need one hole for this and if you do it properly all the smelly air will be drawn away from the door bringing fresh air in with it helping your plants and your smell leaks at the same time.
5 If your running an intake and and exhaust you really should have your exhaust fan twice the size of your intake otherwise you run the risk of moving more air than you do out, meaning the smell will escape from where ever it can.

If this doesn't make sense to you mate do some homework on passive intakes, they're not just used for grow rooms they're used in all sorts if industrys where fumes need to be replaced with fresh air.
