[clrwatrtom]

headed to home depot this morning. checked in on the babies but no green yet.

 

[clrwatrtom]

home depot doesn't have any flex duct in stock. oh well.
BTW, l hope all Americans today take a moment to give thanks for the veterans who served this great country that we live in. God Bless!

 

[clrwatrtom]

[clrwatrtom]

My fartfan exhaust

 

[clrwatrtom]

Added an elbow for now to the exhaust of the coudline t4 for now.
Tent is starting to cool.still too soon to tell but i dont have sprouts yet.

 

[clrwatrtom]

i was wondering if anyone noticed the car key rings i used to raise the usable ht of my lights. i got an extra 2" max ht off tent floor at 5.4". anyone see any way to improve what i have so far, pleas just bring it.

I added the small fan to introduce fresh cool air into the tent it's positioned about 5 feet away from the air handler inside the house

 

[clrwatrtom]

After adding fan we have 80deg.at51%rh.
Its still cooling. Outdoor ctemp is 89 and cooling. Ambient temp outside tent at 76 w rh of 52%

Happy Memorial day everyone, well good news. While playing with the ventilation system in my tent I just happened to look down and notice to little friends have arrived.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Do you have blacklight posters in there too???

Is that a Led Zeppelin in the corner

 

[clrwatrtom]

Pretty good Chris. It's funny that you should mention that. I just have the veg light on. I'm still trying to control temperature in there but I'ts sure nice to see some green.
I think i can see them starting to stretch.

 

[clrwatrtom]

i just disconnected the carbon filter. my fart fan exhaust aint gonna make it. i have a booster fan coming and i may take the exhaust up through the ceiling and hard duct it to the roof peak vent.

 

[clrwatrtom]

i have the intake fan running on high which causes a positive (i believe) pressure. tent walls are pushing out but the tent is cooling pretty quick.i'm gonna slow it down to see if i can get any help from the fart fan and reduce the pressure levels. ambient temp 75 d 51% rh. Top of tent is at 75.5,with rh of 54%
plant level 79.7d an 50% rh

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Run yer vent into fresh air intake, it's what I do

 

[clrwatrtom]

i'm not sure if i understand. i have the ac infnity t4 cloudline fan/controller drawing intake air at the top of the tent from the interior and less than the hole in the tent. i will ad another inline booster fan to my exhaust. when i rerun my vent up through the ceiling and bypass the fartfan setup all together.
i will post a pic from my phone.

 

[clrwatrtom]

Hope this helps

Draw cold air from bottom of tent, remember hot air rises

Exhaust out the top

In the room, well newer houses, you have a vent for ac /heat and another for air return to keep the air balanced in the room...so it doesn't suck yet walls in like our tents ...lol

Run the exhaust from yer tent into that vent/return

Ac vent

Air return opposite of room

 

[clrwatrtom]

im running a mitsubishi minisplit in my house and it is pretty efficient
Thanks again or all your help Chris. Happy Memorial Day to you as well.
