Hey all, the time has come to establish my garden. I've been playing around with the idea for some time and trying to flower a plant in my closet and lightproof things, I decided it was time to get serious. So, I'm putting up my grow tent today! Here are the main components of the grow: 4x4 Sun Hut XL Tent Sun System Blockbuster reflector 6" air cooled 600W Hortilux Eye SUPER HPS bulb 600W 120/240V Phantom Digital Ballast 424CFM Grow Bright 6" in-line duct fan, and a fan speed controller Grow Bright 6" Pure Flow Carbon Filter I need some advice on how I should run my ducting inside of the tent, I haven't put the fan up yet because I'm not sure of the optimal place for it. Should it be pulling the air through the carbon filter, then hood, and blowing it all out of the tent? Carbon Filter>Hood>fan>exhaust out the window or... Would it be more efficient directly at the carbon filter, blowing through the hood and then out the tent? Carbon Filter>Fan>Hood>Exhaust out the window Also, I wanted to make a "control panel" board that I would hang on the wall of the tent to centralize my Ballast, Fan Controller, Timer, Thermostat/Hygrometer, and plugs/chords. What would be the best way to go about that? Thanks for dropping in! Looking forward to getting this garden up and running! Happy growing!
The Tent My planned exhaust route - left side of the above photo into the window The inside so far Possible location for a fan to blow air right out of the tent My Dilemma - Do I try and put a fan on the end of my filter and blow through the hood? The ducting has to do a 90 degree angle regardless, would sucking through the hood and the 90 degree angle be less efficient? Location of the dilemma Thanks in advance!
