Insulated ducting works very well and is much cheaper than buying a muffler. I also found that carbon filters work as mufflers too, at least mine does.You can buy mufflers for your can fans and what not.

You do realize that that 8" inline fan has a decible reading way higher than 6 inchers. You may be able to go to 2 six inch fans and still reduce the noise. When you throttle down an inline fan you lose about 30-40% and the air flow becomes louder. Thats just one diameter size difference! A 6" inline on a filter just in the room will make little noise if you box it up.Everyone keeps suggesting another fan, but there's just no way possible I can take on anymore noise whatsoever.. It's way way way too loud as it is.
If there's no other way I would rather just get rid of the filter and concentrate more on heat and noise than smell.
Speaking of noise, is it safe to wrap my inline fan in dynamat to quiet it some? I'm afraid that it already gets really hot, I don't want to trap more heat in it and break something..
Oh man, that's fucking priceless. You left the plastic on? Pure stoner moment but at least you found out before your whole place stunk like hell. Now you can get both, cooler temps AND odor scrubbing. Nice detective work.Are you guys ready to hear about an ultimate stoner moment? My problem is solved...
When I was initially laying out the tent I decided to just leave the plastic wrap on the carbon filter and I threw the dust sock over it and hung it up just to fit everything into place while I was waiting on more parts. I left the plastic wrap on even saying in my own head don't forget to take this off later, but leave it on now to keep a bunch of loose carbon from going everywhere while I'm fitting everything in place.
Needless to say, I forgot to take the plastic wrap off and hooked everything together. It was like trying to suck air through a capped straw... I took the plastic wrap off and now the fan isn't smoking hot and running much quieter. Hopefully I didn't damage my fan? The heat is exhausting like a pro.. I can keep the door shut on the tent and hold a steady 83-85F. Haha, guess that's what I get for putting shit together when I'm baked out of my mind.
True, I know in AZ Mexican Sativas do very well outdoors even when temps reach 112 degrees outside.Two issues:
1: Noise: Build a plywood box around your inline fan and pad it with insulation; place a flange on either side to connect it to the ducting and noise is reduced over 75% (some say 90%).
2: Heat: Blue Dream is a haze descendant and a regular for Cali growers, both indoors and out. It will easily grow without signs of heat stress at temps up to 95 and humidity as low as 50%, just be sure to have very good air circulation in your tent-
Yeah dude, you have to laugh at your mistakes. Don't repeat them but don't obsess about them either.I'm laughing pretty hard about it now that everything seems to be working fine. I'm just glad I figured it out sooner than later!
Yeah it will work in a tent, you just treat it like a sealed room. I have an environmental controller that turns off my 2 ventilation fans when it deploys CO2 and vice versa when the temp rises. That way the CO2 is not venting outside the tent where it will be wasted.But I thought co2 was for closed rooms? It would still work in a tent?
