Hi all, just in the process of building a loft grow.
Im using 2x1 batten in the loft screwed vertically from the pitched rafters down to the floor in order to create 2 grow tents (house shape) up into the apex.Once I have the batten frames up I will staple up foil insulation to make the sides (have already used foil insulation to do the roof).
The finished articles are 1.2mtr x 1.2mtr with 1.6mtr height at highest point within the tents (apex).
I have installed a false soil pipe vent (5" pipe) through the roof for extraction for both tents. I have a y shaped soilpipe connector and am going to pull extraction for both tents through this.
(Question 1)
1 tent is for veg and 1 for flowering with a 600w cooled hood, I don't know which fan to buy and I dont know if I will need a scrubber for the veg tent (it's a 2 story building end terrace with grow at gable end of loft).
(Question 2)
Also I have bought two 4" extractor vents which I plan on fitting into the fascia board to use as intakes for each tent. Will these be OK passive? or will I need some sort of fans?
All ducting will be short runs ie. total ducting lenghts all added together will be about 10mtrs if not less.
Please help I dont know what would be adequate. And I dont want to spend money I dont need to (or make more noise for that matter)
Thanks
