Well my ducting is aloooot shorter.. Doesn't seem to be much a diff..even with fan on door and can moved...fuck!! So irritated.. I'll move it to 3ft..I wanna transplant soon..I watered yesterday and these things seem almost dry already
Nice man much better it will have helped along with whatever else you do. I think you need a 4" inline intake. But you might be waiting money and time. An air cooled hood might solve it and use that small bathroom fan as an intake fan and passive exaust

Is my fan strong enough to hook it up to a hood and filter it out at the same time ? Can I put this unit Inna new hood ? My cfm is 260 I think

That light is gonna dry those plants out every day. I went with led but I think you need a air cooled hood. Your fan sjlild do it fine. The 6" one that is. And use your bathroom fan where it sits as an intake and make another exaust hole of yu want. Or just let the air escape through whatever cracks are there

Yea I would get that for sure. I would pull air from the room through the hood and out the exaust, maybe try with a 4" inline fan. Then just use your 6" and filter as you are now.
Oh so I can't run it all off one fan and filter? Would a 4" do 2 hoods if I had it in the future?
I'm not sure how it all works all I know is my filter sucks it and blows it out lmao

Well I think that 6" fan you have should be for your grow room it'self attached just like you have it. And get your two hoods and your other light and try it with a 4". But the more the better. You won't run the risk of going to smal and you can always turn it down. I have 3 extra 4" fans now lol. Had to upgrade. I turned one attached to a carbon filter just sits on my coffe table so I can smoke cigs inside from time to time. Go bigger you can always adjust the speed with a fan speed controller. The cheap ones I got cause my fans to hum. Ended up getting a variable speed transformer I think. I'll look for the link. Id like to see you not waste money like I did. How much is your budget for the rest of the setup

I have one its the brown thing on the wall in the pic ..its a cheapo tho..

I'm kind of tapped for money really..I've spent a lot building the room..I was gonna say fuck it and buy another light ..not sure how much I'll get with 15 plants under 1 light
Just work with what you have and mess around with a few things then. And see if you can get temps under control. Grow a few plants whichever few are the best looking and see how it goes. See what all you learn from the grow and about your setup and it's needs. That's what I'm doing accualy with just one plant. I'm learning exactly what I need for the future runs

True..what's the difference between air cooled and cooltube ? I like the sunshades cause they look like they cover more.

I can't answer that one I don't have any expierince with those lights or hoods. I have Area 51 LED lights . 4 rw150s in each of my 2 4x4 tents. Crazy expensive but I couldn't grow unless I got led and I didn't want junk ones.
