How exactly is this going to work?

say i have 2 seperate flowering chambers seperated by styrophoam walls.. can i get a fan, along with a "T" style splitter for the ductwork, then suck the hot air from the lamps in both chambers, AS WELL is take the smell away then pump the clean air outside?

or do i need seperate fans for the smell/heat and/or seperate flower chambers?


and how the hell does it all fit together anyways? is this right?

fan connectied to ductwork wich splits 2 ways and extracts heat from each lamp then blows the air through a carbon filter wich removes the smell?


help me out here . i know how to measure fan strength by the cubic meters n shit, but i just dont know how it all comes together to form one system? how would i take care of the smell and heat of the room?

did you move out of that happy ending massage parlor yet?

sounds about right. the air then needs to be vented outside or into a space where nosy people never go

Yup, as far as i understand i think this is going to work..
But u have ventilation to?
I mean, a fan that blows air in the growroom?

To control room temp and smell with 1 unit you simply suck the air out of the room with an inline fan that blows thru a carbon filter. Buying a Klimavator temperature controlled fan speed controller unit will also make the job of temperature control much easier.

Cool tubes for your bulbs could also make temps lower and increase lumen out put per bulb.

How can it increase the lumen?
a cool tube doesn't have 100 % light transmission (no material can transmit all light..), so it decreases the lumen output.

yeah, make sure you have a fan pumping fresh air IN in the same manner as well and you should be good. as others have said, be weary of scent, even with a carbon filter

i thought the carbon filters were at the end of the ducting that the air is being sucked into?


and thanks for your help too everyone, im starting to understand how to grow this shit abit better now .

not to mention a stop by a hydroshop that helpped

 

[ophiuchus]

yes, you do not need an airfilter on the air coming in, only on the air going out. the fan pulling air in is simply to increase overall airflow, thus diluting the scent coming out. (higher air to scent ratio). you dont need two carbon filters. unless you had a shitload of plants and put both filters on the air coming out. then of course, the logical move would be to just get a better filter?

A cooler bulb produces more lumens and the tube has nothing to do with the restrictions of the bulbs output of lumens

thanks for the tidbit sticki
