Hey Vapo69,

This is my first grow and my 2 auto's that I am growing had to put up with the first 10 days of their life with erratic temps and humidity, After a small fan and small humidifier day to night -- 80 to 77 and humidity hangs around the 50% mark, the day night temps vary a bit because my tent in in a room where it gets the sun, so if the sun is out the room itself warms up, and then the tent.
anyway, with the temps, humidity, and gentle breeze my girls are really starting to take off.

When I set up my tent I bought a 4" In line fan and an oscillating fan........since then i have removed my inline and had better results by putting a small £1.99 fan in an inlet and tightening the drawstring around it....I put this fan in and closed the other outlets and it puffed out the sides of the tent......i opened the top vent and a constant stream of air comes out....this is much quieter and I know a constant stream of fresh air is being supplied to my plants.....the small fan runs off a usb lead.....all this said I use led's which run cool with 3 fans in each....I have a constant temp of 77f and rh is at 42-50% with all leaves dancing gently....😃😁

Before you get into trouble -- just go buy a small house fan somewhere.

Yep. I've always cut off the connector and tie it in to a cell charger. It'll run the fan at around half speed. If u want it to run full power you'll need a computer power supply to run it properly. That's how I run the circulating fan in my 150w diy box

the three wires are your ground, pos and neg wires simple to hook up but you should use a power supply to run this fan.

[r3m1]

old power supply works wonders

[r3m1]

incorrect the third wire if present is a grounding wire. this is very well needed

[r3m1]

yes their is, Their are two wires that come off the computer fan. Black and red, with a connector to plug in.

[Speedygreen]

Cell fone charger will run it. Only works on one polarity tho. U only need a hot and a common wire on the fan. Red and black. The white wire is basically useless in this application

That fan can only be connected to a 12 volt dc.power supply so to use it you would have to buy a transformer to convert mains ac voltage to 12 volt dc with would cosy you more than the fan is worth.

I was able to find some specs-12v @0.15A but I couldn't find any info on how the harness is wired to the motor. It's a computer case fan and moves a little over 80 cfm,

Only 80 CFM? My fan moves over 747 CFM how will you make only 80 work?
