There is about a week to go until my indoor tent is up and running and I had a few questions if someone would be so kind as to lend me some guidance. First off, do I leave my exhaust fan on 24/7? Secondly, would a "booster" fan be enough to exhaust a 48x48x78 area if that is all you used? And lastly, how close is too close to a MH/HPS light in the area we are talking? Thanks in advance
Ambient temp? I have the exact same sized tent and I currently have a portable ac inside my tent... I battle heat all summer, and am finally flowering for the first time. I run my exhaust fan at 100% lights on, and at 50% lights off. Run my light above 3 monsters, 6-8 inches from tops. But I have my fans ducting pulling hot air from right beside the bulb. I have a crap wing reflector, 400w hps Edit, booster fan isn't gunna be enough with a filter.
I would agree that a booster fan will not be enough. You want your fan to run 24/7 . I recommend these. COOLTUBE WITH XL Wing REFLECTOR Carbon filter kit i have both and they were both worth every penny! The 440cfm fan with the filter was way worth it. Also the cooltube reflector keeps temps much lower!
^that's a good deal on the reflector, but I can't believe the rope ratchets cost more. $77 with them, $34 without... or am I reading that wrong?
