Right now I (and from any other picture I've ever seen) and everyone else runs their exhaust / filter fan horizontally and then duct up and out of the space. Is there any one out there running their fan pointed straight up? Not sure if there would be a harder load on the motor or if these fans are designed to do such.
thanks

pushing air up is always harder than pushing it down no? gravity makes it harder i would think yes?

The difference in air movement due to gravity is negligible unless you're talking about running a few thousand sqft of fans pointing upward lol. Keep in mind we're growing MJ here, not trying to get to the moon. Gravity is almost a non-factor.
