The tent does have 6" ports. I might not understand "intake 150% of surface area of exhaust outlet", but I think I do. Are you saying that since the exhaust is 4" the intake should be 6"? The portable A/C can be set for cooling OR dehumidifying (OR fan OR heat), though it's cooling function...

Have been using a 4" 177 CFM fan for filter/exhaust. Without the lung room, it certainly does keep negative pressure in the 5' x 5' tent... not sure if that will continue after adding another 2' x 2' tent, especially if lung tent has it's own powered exhaust. Hmm... maybe there shouldn't be...

Positive pressure pushing out smelly air. That was absolutely going to happen. And cold air immediately floating right back out of the grow; I didn't picture it happening that way, but I can see it now, thanks. So: 1. Cold intake at the bottom and near the front, since the warm-return filter...

I revised the above. (Annoyed that I can't edit or delete my previous postings.) 1. Inline fan pushes cooled air out from bottom of lung tent into top of grow tent. 2. Portable AC intake hose attached to filter in top of grow tent brings in warm air to be cooled. 3. Portable AC exhaust hose...

This is my portable AC lung tent idea. Portable two-hose AC in it's own 2' x 2' tent, next to grow tent. 1. Inline fan pushes cooled air out from bottom of lung tent into top of grow tent. 2. Portable AC intake hose attached to filter in top of grow tent brings in warm air to be cooled...

Will jar bud from already trimmed plants now, and finish trimming and jarring ASAP. Thanks for advising!

Using tap water, with a chiller set to 61°F. I have not yet used any supplements. I used hydrogen peroxide after the root rot. I will definitely look into supplements for controlling root-rot. Water temps are under control with the chiller, so air temp is now the focus. Have a...

As for the buds hanging to slowly dry, the ammonia smell is barely noticable now. Have to put my face in it to smell it. I can't SEE the mold, even with 30x magnification, but it's there. I need to learn more about mold. ...(EPA - Take the Mold Course)... Perhaps if I HEPA vacuum the...

Been thinking about controlling heat in the grow tent. Split AC would be great, but not an option. Window AC would be nice, but also not an option. So...two different ideas are being considered: 1. Set the portable two-hose AC outside of grow tent (no room inside) and rig ducting to send...

The plants' indoor environment is not being controlled nearly as effectively as it should be. Temperatures stayed within acceptable limits during the winter, but have been 85-92°F this summer, and I've not been adding CO2. The tent's air kept an RH of 45% during flower, with the dehumidifier...

Thanks. The dehumidifier is now set to 60%RH. There is a serious problem, though. The plants stayed in their buckets in tent for three days with no water no lights, before I removed them. I didn't notice it until I was hanging them, but there is a very strong ammonia odor. A bit of a...

Thanks for the reply with helpful infos. I'll absorb this into my routine. C Vault offers nine different sizes. I expect less than a half-pound this harvest, but more in future harvests... Any size recommendations? And does one simply cram as much bud as possible into the vaults...
