Some ghetto room you're working with there eh mate? lol


You could improve on that massively without changing dimensions.

Swap the shitty Vents fans for proper ones of the same size like Rucks for example, Rucks will shift more air while also being a damn site quieter than the Vents ones you have (my 1 Vents fan on lowest makes more noise than my 2 Rucks together on lowest)

Swap your regular ducting for insulated ducting, this stops radiated heat from the exhaust ducting adding to the room heat and also cuts down on the sound of the exhaust air flowing through the ducting.

Periodically chuck your foam prefilter in the wash and hoover the dusty crap off the outside of your filter mesh, a prefilter that dirty is just reducing airflow even further and is pretty much useless.



A more efficient space should bag you a bigger/better quality crop.

I know the improvements cost money but the upgrade of your space more than justifies the say £150 ish quid you would spend on 2 quality fans and some insulated ducting.

Food for thought...........:wink:

I even take my fans apart and periodically dust all the built up carbon out, all this subtle crap just adds up to reduced airflow with added noise and heat in the long run.

Yeah need to spend some money on it but also wanna move out of here so havent bothered much with it plus its still dirty as fuck from having the builders inn everything getting piled in there inc bags of soil n shit lol

Hate insulated ducting so ive gone for the combi ducting as next best choice, also it takes up too much room and is too stiff to bend around the room properly etc

Better fans are planned (as are swapping over to LED`s) but gotta get thru a harvest an then xmas first before i can afford it etc as last harvest for me was dec20th

Combi ducting is just tear resistant mate, it offers no more benefit over regular for heat/noise.

Insulated isn't stiff, I'm surprised at how supple it is actually.

You'll get insulated round that room easy with the space you've got left, there's plenty of room, I wouldn't suggest it if I couldn't eyeball it. ;)




Aye stack your paper a couple of times first man, xmas and kids is the priority obviously.

Ive tried mate and it just wont bend round enough in such short lengths etc and swapping over to the combi ducting from the normal silver stuff shaved about 2 degrees off during lights on lol,

My week just gets better. I got the NFT tray out and the way I had it leant has somehow cracked the fucker. Went to the shop to get a new one and they didn't have one the size I had. So I got a couple of bags of coco and a bag of hydro pebbles. It looks like another pain in the sphincter hand feeding round again ffs I just can't get a break. At least the back door keys were found lol

Aye she's retired and pays some professional landscaping guy to come round and cut it for her.

Fucking middle class cunts with too much money I'm surrounded by. lol
Sounds like where I live lol. We have a neighbour who's a right nippy sweetie....to her man anyway. The dude gave me a small seat to attach to the cargo bike I have. Asked me if I needed a drill blah blah. Told him I had a drill and would do it later on and thanked him. The seat had a long enough screw that enabled me to attach it to the bike without using the drill....I won't bore you with the details of that but when they commented to my wife about the attached seat and asked how I had got on with the drill...she obviously told them I hadn't used one. WELL! That just kicked things off for the poor cunt. She was aking him how he had used a drill and why they have a hole in their cargo now and blah blah blah my fucking God the pòor twat. That's the life I am living gee lmfao.

@ Yorkster , why didn't u go for air cooled hoods over tubes m8 ? ££ ???
Better air flow through tubes.

Worse air flow through hoods because of turbulence/resistance due to the shape being a box not a tube.



Tubes have no flat walled parts to smash up the vortex air flow, think of a streamlined car in a wind tunnel and then think of a bus in a wind tunnel.

Maybe they need to start fitting coolhoods with Airtabs lol
