I have the bathroom fan blowing air in direct onto my bulb through tubing attatched to my refector, then i have the HVK suckin air out through the filter and the 6" fan blowin on the bulb also, might have to get me a new intake fan... money money money.

that definately sounds like it should be doing the job mate and the money seems to go out as fast as the plants grow but hopefully it'll all be worth it in the end :weed:

yes bro whats crackin, if ur upgrading u can just get the HKV 125A, then use that for ur extracton through ur filter and the hkv 100 for the intake. just what i got mate :) dont think its a great deal more than the 100 mate but dont quote me

Hey Fingerez...

HVK 125A is £75.... the dilema i have cost aside is that the bathroom fan that is pullin air into the room does about 85cubic mtrs p/hr, the HVK pulls out 175 cubic mtrs p/hr... if i got another bathroom fan that would take air in to 170cubic mtrs p/hr, which is 5cubic mtrs p/hr less than is being pulled out.... how much negative preasure is realisticly needed?

not exactly sure to be honest, just know its better from reading. have u got any way of getting the intake near a window? that will get the temp down, might not be practical though??
