oh i see... interestin build.. how high does your temps run? my kitchen does not have window access... i can only exhaust out into the kitchen and passive intake from the kitchen... the issue is that tent is building up heat and im not sure why since I just upgraded the fan to a high velocity...

damn, i wish i can exhaust air out to a window... i need to find a solution for this heating issue.... im stumped on how to optimize my setup without spending a whole lot more.... already dropped roughly $700 on this current setup. I didn't know a 400w metal halide would generate this much...

oh ok, so the fan has to be right next to the reflector? it's pretty heavy and I'm not sure if my tent beams can handle the extra weight, did you check the pictures of the latest post i provided; is that a viable way to set it up and have extra duct work outside the tent so that the heat gets...

hello again guys! its been a minute, I finally got my grow tent setup with the new 4" high velocity fan rated at 170 cfm but I am still running into heating issues. =( I left it running with my current setup and the temps went up to 89F. Currently the fan is setup and connected to the bottom...

most definitely, i just bought a 6" to 4" reducer and im going to be installing that next to the easy cool 6 with 4inch flexible duct work (roughly 8ft) leading out to the top of the tent. How big of an passive intake would i need with this new setup? will a 4" vent port be enough with maybe a...

thanks so much for the advice, I called HTG today and their customer service reps were extremely helpful, they're shipping me out the 4" high velocity fan + the controller for free, and free shipping as well. ^_^ Ill have to pick up a 6" to 4" reducer at lowe's or home depot.

shoot, i guess im gonna have to buy that fan you mentioned, hopefully htg will allow me to return the stock crap duct fan that came with the kit and give me a price break for the new fan. if I get the fan you mentioned, would temps still be an issue; considering the fact that the air being...

ok, ill do as you advise, hopefully it'll work out fine >_< i dont want to buy another fan... i thought the htg grow kits was all i needed.. sigh. Also, i was wondering about passive intake... how do you allow for passive intake without letting light in? do i just attach a feet or two of duct...

brentk45, if i have both ends of the reflector hooked up to ducting, should i have the fan blow air through the reflector? or pull through it since its a low end cfm fan... also, should i have the inline fan installed next to the reflector side or just leave it as it currently sticking out the...

damn shit, i was hoping that was the only fan i needed since grumpy said a tent that size only requires a very low cfm rated fan... is there any other alternatives or do i need to purchase a better fan to lower the temps. thanks for the heads up and advice given so far. if i purchase that high...

help! my grow tent setup is completed but after test running it for an hour, the temperature was 87 degrees and still climbing. It was also night time with temperatures around 74F outside. I have duct work running to the top with the fan blowing air out of the tent. And also a fan clipped to the...

oooo ok, that definitely cleared up a lot of questions i had about extra fans, great link. thanks again ^_^. ill setup the grow tent by this weekend and take some pictures, hopefully itll turn out alright, my first grow was a failed experiment following a tutorial using a styrofoam icebox +...

thanks grumpy for the advice and quick response, so you recommend to just have the fan blow air out of the tent as an exhaust and just have passive intake from below without any fans to blow air in? probably dont need a fan to blow clean air in for a tent this size right

oh, thanks for the heads up; I will definitely be monitoring the temps before putting some clones in. Didnt think about that, good call.

The thing with the easy cool 6 is that it has 2 openings for duct work on both ends, do i have the fan pull air out of the light, but how should I pull air from tent since the reflector is it's own compartment. Do i need 2 more fans? one to pull clean air from outside and another to pull out of...

also, the kit came with a sunrise hi-low hanger that supports up to 13 lbs. Is that strong enough for the reflector? thanks...
