Does your tent need both intake and exhaust?

[Lethidox]

I would put a larger fan on the exhaust and keep a passive intake before I would use a fan on both intake and exhaust.

i might do this i still am trying to map out what tent imma buy if i buy a 4x4 prolly just go with the 1 for now it i got with a 4x8 for sure imma get an intake and exhaust. tomorrow is my day off so i gotta start moving things around and probably prep the aquarium as well might as well move it all in 1 day.

Like they said lol.. I only run exhaust on a controller at about half and that handles the heat for my 300w led. Some cross bars or something to stop the sides sucking in would be nice. you loose canopy space

Gorilla tents offer a high cfm kit for that. Could probably be made to work with any tent.

cfm? sorry im still new don't really know what that is lmfao.

im kinda over the whole gorilla tent/tent bs already costing me a damn arm and a leg just to fucking get one to my door step just due to the state i live in. sometimes i wonder if it is any worse for people in Alaska that grow im sure they have to deal with the same bs as me when it comes to shipping.

Gorilla tents are expensive. I have second guessed myself a bunch of times, but it is a well made tent.
You will be even less pleased when it shows up to your door in a box that is labeled gorilla grow tent. Not discreet at all.

CFM is cubic feet per minute, just like the rating of your exhaust fan. The person i was replying to obviously runs at a high negative pressure because the sides of his tent pull in.
Gorilla does offer a kit for that particular situation. I dont have the kit, and dont have a need for it

kit probably in their website. im buying via amazon because the company has yet to even contact me about a quote. i'll check out the kit see what it comes with and if i can buy seperately. im not super worried though i can always adjust stuff as needed once the hard part is done which is just getting the damn tent here. i think it all varies. i seen one guy unboxing his tent and it showed the sticker but it was covered with like some brown tape so unless you are familiar with the companies product/logo you wouldn't even really know.

for me though im just worried if i splurge on something that expensive i just hope i have the day off to receive it. it requires a signature anyways but usually someone is home to recieve packages either my grandparents or my mom/sister. just this past few days my grandma was asking us if we seen my cousins package usually we don't have issues with people stealing our packages so that is a first if it was stolen. he lives next door to us.

think imma just call in sick to take it in though because i usually dont get mail until 3pm-4pm thats the time i start work starting to move my bed and stuff already so i can get this shit ordered.

damn a 4x4 won't even fit im off by about 6-7 inches bed is too long got to remove the fish tank and put the bed where the fish tank is at but even then my bed will take up a LOT of space

I have a 2x2.5 and it produces fine for my personal use. Kind of wish i went with the 2x4 just for alittle extra room.

Passive intake works for tents. You can adjust the intake a bit with those screens at the bottom but if you want the smell to be scrubbed you have to be careful with how much you open the screen.

I like them tight enough to suck in the walls of the tent a bit. I usually use 2 dryer hoses (4 inch) with socks on either end in the round holes in the bottom (for my passive air intake). I had gnats or fruit flies once and now it works great. And no bugs (coco and that for the win)

I do similar concept, small length of exhaust tubing on the floor in one of the intake socks, and I think I used a black sheet of air conditioner filter sheet and I rolled it into a ball and pushed it into the tube.
