    One thing you got completely wrong is the fact that a 90 on a piece of duct does not decrease the airflow by 50%. That is completely and utterly ridiculous. In fact there are websites that will tell you exactly what each degree of bend will decrease the airflow by.

    I'm growing in a fly in fly out village in Alaska, where in winter, with all electricity and heating is done by burning fuels that are barged in during the summer. So heat is an expensive commodity, and my house stays at 68°F. Because of this, my carbon filter sits on the floor, and the intake is in the tent's roof. This allows the somewhat minimal heat from the LEDs and drivers to be pulled down through the canopy and raises the growing ladies temps to 80°F. During the lights out periods, I heat the tent to 75°F using electricity. Come summer time when the house is 75°F I might reverse this.

    Say man, I'm going to add C02 this spring to my grow room. How does the carbon filter effect the ppm? Also, after adding C02, should I no longer exhaust to the outside? I don't want to just suck it all up and blow it out.
    Great content btw, you really are the best out there!

    • @LexBlazer
      @LexBlazer  4 года назад +2

      takes a while to answer that....in short, the carbon filter doesn't interact with your CO2 in any major way...for the answer to the exhaust stuff with CO2 you best watch my 3-part CO2 series.

    I dislike how these filters are usually made so it's very hard to open them and replace the activated carbon.They should not be welded shut. I haven't tried refreshing my used filters because of this. Kinda says alot about this modern consumerism. Perfectly usable filters are thrown out just because it's a pain in the ass to refill them.

    Hi there how's it going? I had a question for you. I do not have much room in my 2 by 2 tent and was wondering if I could put the inline fan on the outside of the tent ducting it into the tent and a separate duct that will let air exhaust out of tent. BTW I'm not going to use a carbon filter. Would this be sufficient? If not what would you recommend?

      who cares how many inches the inline fan is? whats the cfm? its got to be 54 cfm before the carbon filter and ducting. include those things and its going to crank the cfm up to about 220. just use a 400 cfm 6" duct booster fan and lose the carbon filter and you'll save money. i got this info from acinfinity's manual on growing hemp.
