Hi yall I just got my inline fan in today and figured I would try to get that up and then attach my filter when it comes in tomorrow. I have read the info on ventilation on the GWE site but have some additional qestions I've been thinking about. So here they are any help would be much appreciated.
I guess some info on my set up first would help. Im growing in a 4.5 x 4.5 foot closet with standard ceiling height. I have 2 platinumled p600 on hangers suspended from a closet pole I installed across the center of the space. One clip on fan attached at the doorway(no door i used industrial velcro and put a tarp for an opening) and there is a small humidifier i turn on here and there to keep around 70 percent while im in veg. Mostly the day before I need to water or if theres temp swings because its a weird winter/spring here in New England. On the wall opposite of the door is a crawlspace that is difficult to access and is fairly narrow/ non existent up by the ceiling where i would put the exhaust hole. One wall goes to a hallway and the 3rd is to the bedroom that is right now a walk in closet. Im thinking venting into the bedroom might be the best idea? Will a carbon filter really scrub out the smell? Or should i devise something else because the clothes in there cant smell like cannabis.
Other questions...
1. So the air intake hole. I understand the importance of size and location but what about light leak issues? So U have to bend the ducting to create a corner? I was hoping to not have to use ducting on the intake at all. So how does everyone here keep light doeasnt make it in?
2. Does the fan have to be positioned so the air flow is sideways or could I run the exhaust straight up through the ceiling? Was thinking I could remove the reg closet light and go right through there.
3. Also how do you seal a room for co2 if you are going to have a vent fan running? I dont understand that. Do you just turnoff the fan for a set period of time(as long as takes room to heat to max allowence?)set fan to turn back on on timer and figure out how long to cool down. And set it to cycle through like that?
i probably have more questions but these are the most important
thank you in advance for any help just want to say I am running around today so might not be able to reply much until I get home tonight and can actually undertake the instalation.
