Ventilation question?

If you can't tell a difference id say sure. See how temps arewithout it

 

I have no idea what kind of filter you are pulling with. You also didn't list what kind of filter or exhaust fan(CFM) you are using.

My question is more why does it matter? Are temps becoming an issue? Put a piece of paper near them, make sure one is really sucking air out, and one is bringing new air in if that is your concern. You really need to know if you exhaust is sucking correctly, and it could become a passive intake(no fan). But if there is no issues with temps, and it's a sealed unit no smell, it's better to have an exhaust and active intake(for this). Just so nothing is working harder then the other. Also it will ensure you are getting constant fresh air.

 

Not sure if they are smelly try to remove your filter and see I'd that's the limiting factor. Yeah u never told me what exhaust fan you are using, but I cant see an active intake bing worse then a passive.

Also what lights and what is the out side of the box temps?

 

What's the watts from the wall and how big is the space.

 

What's the brand and model of the led light?

 

What's the brand and model of the led light?

 

What's the size of your grow space? And what is the temps out side of the grow space?

 

Yeah I hear you. Do you have a budget to fix this issue? Also, whats the temp outside of the tent and your space?

If you do scrape, take a monster clone and start over. This way you don't fully start over an buys you some time. Will take some time to re-veg, just tossing an idea out there.

 

Man I think the cheapest and wisest thing for you would be to sell/return your light and get something smaller. That is way too much light for that size my friend. Switch your lighting or figure out a way to pipe the heat from your light. You could in theory try to cut a hole at the very top of the box and have the fan from the light just shooting hot air out into your home with no smell(if you do have some negative pressure.) Granted this idea may move some smell out side of the box.

That or down size or figure out a different filter. You have heat thats being trapped in there, let a lone I honestly think you are going to get bleaching with that light. How far away is it from your plant? So I don't think heat will be your only factor. If you want personal smoke I stick with a much less LED or CFL.

 

I think you just need a proper filter and inline fan. Those little booster fans just don't have the static pressure to pull through a filter. I recommend a 6" carbon filter and a panasonic whisper fan.
