[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Good news. 20 mins later after putting the ice packs in...I DROPPED 2 DEGREES. [/quote] You just put the ice in the tent?? You won't/can't do this all hours of the night.. Grab a 80mm computer fan off newegg. What's the temp outside your tent?i
I put it into a 5 gallon bucket. I have hundreds of them. So I can change them daily. I put 5 6x6 packs in the bucket in the corner. The room temp is 79 and the tent temp is now 82. I am still gonna get the intake fan but first I need to get my room cooled off.

It's funny cause my room is also the hottest room in the house
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Can I use a booster fan from home depot or is a computer fan better.[/quote] I think a booster would blow to much air.. You want more air coming out then going in..
Ok. So any 120mm or 140mm computer case fan? And what kind of wires. I think you told me but I forgot.
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Ok. So any 120mm or 140mm computer case fan? And what kind of wires. I think you told me but I forgot.[/quote] I use 80mm but you could use a 120 as well.. You take an old cell phone (12 volt) charger and splice the wires to the fans wires..
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Ok. I found a 140mm 103cfm fan for 9 bucks will that work? Or is that too much.[/quote] As long as its a good bit less then your exhaust.. You want negative pressure in your tent.. Well doesn't matter a lot without a filter.
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']I will go to comp USA tomorrow. Then you just make a 6" circle out of cardboard right??[/quote] Correct with a square in the middle to fit the fan in.. Secure it into the Intake.. It cools my tent 4-5F.
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Sounds like a plan to me. Do you use a different syringe for each bottle of nutes?[/quote] Nope... I draw into the syringe, pour it into the bucket for mixing.. Draw some water into it and pour that back into the bucket.. Just so I don't mix them in the different bottles.. Same for pH up/down.
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Ok. That's how I did it too. Just checking. I didn't want to mix the bottles[/quote] Yup
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Ok got my fan. Now I cut the red and black. Then hook en to a phone charger. [/quote] Is that a question it looks like you have it hooked up? But ya. Just make sure it's spinning the correct way.. Black with white strip goes to red if I remember correctly..
[quote name='"tharealmclovin"']Ok. I am about to cut the wires now. I just wanted to confirm before I destroy this fan[/quote] Lol no you won't destroy anything.. If there's no lines on your cell charger then there should be a silver and a copper wire.. Copper goes to red, silver to black. Make sure they're both 12 volts.
