Hi everybody.
Doing a stealth grow in a rural area.
I am age 60 growing for sacramental use. My wife (age 65) has severe anxiety and insomnia issues. I
I could use some advice on how to set up my duct fan system (ventilation.) Do I pressurize? If so, where (inside or outside?) do I put my Inline Duct Fan 190 CFM w/ Virgin Charcoal Carbon Filter? Need simple step by step instructions... thanks in advance. First timer.
From what I gather (at How Do I add Ventilation to my Grow Area, What Can I Do about Smell?) here is what I am to do:
I run a short piece of 4" (or bigger) ducting at the bottom of the tent to allow new air in. I hang the VenTech IF4CF412 4" Inline Duct Fan 190 CFM INSIDE the tent at the top,, attach a run of 4" ducting, run it outside the tent, and attach that ducting to the Charcoal Carbon Filter which is outside the tent, right?
Should I add a filter of some sort to the intake ducting to prevent air contamination inside the tent that might damage the crop? Planning on using a small Filtrete Micro Particle Reduction filter on TWO 4" dryer duct intake lines.
My VenTech 190 CFM Fan is capable of changing out the old air every 11 seconds, so I will slow it down with a fan speed control.
Here is the setup I have and just beginning to set it up:
