Yo what's up guys. So I'm using a 6" in line fan to pull in outside air to cool my grow room. I came home today and realized that the fan and ducting had water dripping from it. Not sure why I didn't think about condensation. Any idea what to do about it? Had to kill the flower room lights as I was scared of house fire. It's only an hour from lights out anyway but tomorrow it needs to get fixed.
Condensation From Fan

I'm hooked up to a window pulling from outside in. Dont think I can push in this situation? Or I'm missing something?

Make sure the fan is cold and there won't be any condensation on it.
The moisture is building up on the outside of the ducting. Reduce the ducting; just aim the cold air at the lights and it will mix just fine.
Yeah that's my idea of getting it out of the grow room. Adjacent room stays 70 or below. Fan is hooked up to a temp controller so that's what's making it hot and cold. Idk, I'll move it in the morning and see what happens. Should be less condensation at least.
Shit scared the fuck outta me. The way the lights are built a drop falls in the wrong spot and I'm not sure what's gonna happen.
You're genius. Just needed a little help and time to figure it out. Thanks.
If moving the fan doesnt work, I'm gonna build an air tight box to cover the window, fan attached on 1 side and ducting on the other side ran to grow room. Fan never touches outside air problem solved.a
