so i bought a grow tent that is 3x3x5 and was wondering whats the best way to ventilate this. `was told to put a canfan 50(size) to a 6'' inline fan then duct work to the hood then more duct work from other side of hood to outside the tent. i dont know much about passive intake and negative pressure,ect so i guess my real question is whats the best way to vent a 3x3x5 tent that im putting a 1000wt air cooled reflector(not a cooltube) inside of?
was told this is a good way to do it-
You could do this.... passive air intake -> air in tent
carbon filter -> inline fan -> ducting to air cooled hood -> ducting from hood to outside of tent.
OR carbon filter -> ducting to hood -> ducting from hood to inline fan -> ducting going out of tent.
can i put carbon filter inside the tent, hook a 6'' inline fan to it, then attach fan to air cooled hood with duct work, then on the other open end of the hood attach more duct work goin outside of tent?
or can i put duct work to one end of the hood (leaving the other end open to pull air threw the hood), then attach a carbon filter to the duct work then a 6'' fan then duct work out of tent? so it would go - hood>ductwork>carbon filter>6'' fan>duct work leading out of tent?
again im new to ventilation/heat problems. right now i have 400wt hood in a 3.5'x4.5'x7' closet and with the door fully closet it gets to about 85-90 degrees. so i keep the door propped open a lil and this drops the room to about 76-80 degrees. i wanted to put the 1000wt hood in the same closet instead of the 400wt but cant properly vent the clsoet so i bought the 3x3x5 tent cause i heard id get better results with a properly ventilated room. is 1000wts overkill for a 3x3x5? i heard its perfect IF i can properly vent.
thanks on any info and am lookin forward to starting a grow journal asap
