Without extraction wheres the air exchange, gotta have extraction running all the time without it your asking for trouble in my book. When thos colas start forming then your asking for bud rot without airflow. The better your enviorment the better your grow, its the most important aspect of indoor growing IMO as a poor enviroment will have negative effects on your girls, from slow growth to poor yield.

Yeah, i'd have it on a seprate socket. That fan has a built in speed controller, turn it right down to the lowest setting and leave running through out the night, your girls will thank you for it.

That stuff holding the filter to the side of the cab is fixing band from wickes, its just a metal strapping. No mate thats the entire filter you see there its a small can type one, unhook fan from your timer and plug it in 24/0 got it lol. No adverse effects from having the filter there, fan sucks the air through that filter through the light and out he back of the cab, cools the light and exchanges the air at the same time but like i say you could have it the other way around so your blowing through the filter in which case it would be mounted on the output side of the fan and not mounted in the cab if that makes sense.


Right im straving, time to order a pizza.
