New and starting soon

[StimpLedNoTill]

Hey guys, I will be starting my first grow soon growing 4 plants in living soil inside a 4x4 tent and wanted to say hi! Where is the best place to ask questions regarding equipment? Just want know about inline fan brands what's quiet/reliable etc. I'll document my grow if there's a sub here for that as well.

Thank you I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with the AC infinity inline fans? If not which is the quietest but will get the job done with a filter attached? I planned on getting a 6" with either built in speed controller or separate speed controller, but I read that the plug in controllers cause the fan to emit a loud buzzing sound lol kind of counteracts part of its use. I'm using led so heat isn't that big of an issue and I wanted to be able to turn down the speed to help get temp/humidity in line. Thanks again for the help.

Yes but you want the air in the tent to turn over quickly to keep a fresh supply of co2 cycling through for photosynthesis. I've just used blowers from amazon but I didn't have to worry about noise.

Oh for sure, for a 4x4x6.5 that's a little over 100 cfm needed for an every minute exchange. I wish I could use any fan but my setup is going in a room right next to the living room and beside our bedroom haha, so I really need to find the quietest fan available without sacrificing air quality.

Your signature looks like it's got a lot of goodies I'll have to go through once I have time.

Welcome! You've come to the right place, to find the answers you're looking for. As Penny suggested, check out the FAQ threads, and also try the search function. I found 420's forum, while I was doing research on lights, and decided to stick around. Very helpful and friendly community. Best of luck!

I've burned up a lot of inline fans! My personal favorite are active air, yet to kill one.

 

[Pennywise]

I've used active air pumps and was happy with them

Just earlier this week I had a hydrofarm 6 inch inline seize on me. It got so hot it burned my hand when I touched it! One thing I try to do is get on the "zon" or that one auction site just to read reviews before I buy anything anymore.

 

[Marzbadrock]

Also, I like to over compensate with airflow and put them on a air speed controller n run them lower. If you need more air it's there at the ready.

 

[Pennywise]

I do the same thing.

Welcome to Stimp, I had a 6” terrabloom inline fan with just a knob to adjust fan speed, it was very quite in fact the only thing I could hear was the air whooshing out of the vent, turned down and you could barely hear that, but it moved a good amount of air. If this doesn’t help try reposting in the FAQ area. Welcome along and cheers made
