Helping a friend set up a small grow in his bedroom, just one plant so he just wants a basic carbon filter, but Im not an electrician and not sure on what's the best way to go in regards to what we need to do to the wall?
You can see here where he wants to exhaust, to outdoors:
It's metal with foam insulation, about 3" wide. So he wants to drill a vent of some sort in that already kinda cut-out area. (What equipment would be needed - circular saw?)
But he also wants it to look non-suspicious from outside, so something like a normal bathroom wall exhaust fan or something? (a window with duct pipe might look a bit suss) Dont think I would actually be having the exhaust fan ever powered on though, as I'd be using the carbon filter's inline fan for that. And Im guessing the fan blades in the exhaust fan might interfere with that?
Something like this maybe? Probably wont need electrician then (wont be able to use the fan tho), just a family friend who's handy with powertools
But those fans arent cheap. Or maybe there are vent-only options? like this $15 one ...
or...?
Will probably simply hang the carbon filter from the ceiling by drilling in a couple hooks, probably hang the light from there also.
Any advice would be much appreciated because as you can tell im a bit clueless at the moment despite the last two hours on the intergooglewebs!
