vivosun 6in carbon filter not effective?!?!

Just saw your fan rated at 400 something cfm I bet if you turn it down to about 55 percent it’ll work way better at eliminating smell also I’d say you want about 200 or so for the filter. Take your second fan and exhaust your heat from the light separate from the fan and filter combo then you can let the filter just exhaust into the room the tent is in and not affect temperature

Im definitely getting surveillance though

Use the post I made right above this one that’s your best bet separating the cooling from the scrubber so you can keep the little smell coming from the filter inside and the heat from the light outside keep the exhaust going out side stocked with fresh dryer sheets and you’ll be good

How would i do that though.

Can you draw me a diagram if its not to much to ask. My confusion comes from seperating the the cold air with the hot, would i be letting air back in the room with the filter intalled? I though thT this would affect overall oder of the end product

First what are the temps like in the tent? You may not even need to exhaust to the outside depending on the average condition in the house and the size and number of plants.

to cool it like that you would run two lines from the window one pulling in fresh air then into the light then back out the window. Always pushing through the light never sucking through it. That way it’s just expelling heat and not smell

Letting your filter run without exhausting it away will not affect your final products tastes

Ok i got you now

My temps are in the high 70s to mid 80s depending on fan speed

 

[Billytheluther]

So how would i make the filter work for indoors? Just exaust into my room again?

 

[Billytheluther]

I’ll probably have to get a smaller fan or a bigger filter though

So i just remembered an old crack head idea of a friend of mine. Ill be raking dirt or maybe even sand tomorrow by my windows to see if i stumble upon any footprints..

Yup right into the room the tents in so you keep negative pressure in tent run the fan about 50-70 percent and you’ll notice the smell outside fade away

Ill have to try that

 

[Autofire]

Yes i do

just connect the extra fan and filter and hang it in the tent running 24/7. Scrub the air inside the tent

I just pulled the plug on an 8 in phresh filter

I've had better results by pushing into the filter (filter outside the tent) than sucking through the filter (filter on the inside of the tent). Also if your temperatures allow, don't exhaust outside, just exhaust to the room the tent is in. Also those single layer ductings are always full of holes, get insulated ducting.

Don't try to match the fan CFM and filter CFM ratings, always use an over sized filter.

If you're going to use a reducer you have to cut two lines across from each other to fit it on the flange. I used tin snips then duct taped it to seal the offset gap

This is a good cheap wired 4-cam system with a DVR and and app for your phone for $110: https://www.amazon.com/ZOSI-8-Channel-Security-Weatherproof-Surveillance/dp/B00VUVIH9Y

The UI and setup are a bit weird, but once you figure it out, it's nice to be able to see 4-cameras live on a splitscreen from your TV.

You mean just snip the side to make it bendable for a seal?
