Good afternoon, I have this diagram I snatched from another thread and I'd like to know if anybody vents their room with the exact method. Meaning, do you suck air through the carbon filter, through the fan, then push the air from the fan through the cool tube and out of the tent/grow box. So it would look like this {SCRUBBER => FAN => COOL TUBE => OUTSIDE}. The diagram below will show exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm looking for info from anybody who has implemented this successfully or not. I'm in an attic using a 36"x22"x64" HTG tent. I have it insulated up to about an R-24 value with direct ducting from my air handler. The temps with 8 CFL's in it hit a maximum of 77 degrees. After I changed to a Metal Halide setup for vegging, the temps went to 88F peak. I'm already using the 4" fan linked in that quote and the same carbon filter as well. I'm getting the cool tube that is also linked tomorrow and I'm going to vent exactly how it is shown above. I'm using a 250W MH/HPS setup as well and there are already 2 plants veggin in this tent, both about 2wks old. Everything is at the top of the tent with very minimal ducting, probably 3ft of duct in total. If you have any info to help me out, please post, DON'T BE SHY! Thanks ladies and fellas.
