Hey I'm, about to invest in a tent and I was thinking insted of a carbon filter I'd split my ducting so that two seperate lines of ducting connect into one and running an ozone gen into one of these ducting lines so it mixes with the funky air from the other line, and when the air finally exits the ducting the funk is gone. I wont be home most of the day which is when the lights will be on aswell as the fans etc. and I figure when I get home I can just open up all the windows to release all the ozone. Then at night when the plants are sleeping the exhaust fan wont be on anyway so no smells will be comong out the tent. What do you think? It's just that I cant have the bulk of a carbon filter, silencer and extra fan.
HeyTech, I hear you about being able to get small carbon filters but I'm in a flat/apartment and every sq.metre counts. Do you have any experince with ozone gens? I'm thinking I'll take your advice and go carbon but I reckon an ozone gen would be ok. The plants are constantly going to be disturbed by a fan inside the tent, hence the worry about odours.
I have two 4x4x6.5 that I bough for under $90 shipped on ebay. They have the white in the inside but no offgas issues that I can see. As far as light leaks, I have NEVER had a light leak hermie issue. Anything too weak or that hermies get REMOVED. Keep the hardy strains and phenotypes.
I like the white versus the silver, I have grown in both.
you stick the filter right in the top of the tent. it wont take up much room at all. you'd hardly notice its there!
there are a few photos of guys on here with tents and the filters right tucked in the corner..
never used ozone however.. and i dont notice any smell from my widows at the moment. they are 4th week in and with a fan inside also disturbing them all day..
so i baught a cool tube today tech, cause im gonna run a six,but im wondering if i could get away with a smaller intake since il have minimal heat. and with the odor sok il just chuck it up on the roof,how do you have your odor sok set up cause i did actualy wanna set it up in the tent so i didnt have2 have ducting come out the tent. what size intake would you reccomend? sorry for all the Qs but your advice has been every bit helpful so far.
i see what you mean bout lack of vents tech,with mine i can run separate duct and fan line through the cool tube and there is an intake vent at the bottom left and out take top right back.im thinking bout running a 10inch intake and an 8inch exhaust and just split the duct so the exhaust is sucking air through the cool tube and the carbon filter if you get my drift?
just dont wanna but three fans.
I have had quite a few off gassing issues previously but the new Ez-tent mylar finish is working well for me at the moment, im using cool tubes and carbon 150mm fans n ducting.
I checked out a friends new tent the other day, he bought an Indoor elements one.
i was impressed! he bought a 1x .5 x 1.2 and it must of had atleast 6 vent holes in them.. all looked quality! defiantly going to be the next brand i purchase!
so im running a 400 watt hps for the beginning of flower then gonna use my 600,i have 10inch can fan with a splitter that turns into 2x 6inch one sucks air through my cool tube and the other exhausts the tent air through my 6inch odorsok. im thinkin that im gonna run a separate fan for the cool tube when i switch to 600 so i dont get too humid in there.
i have 7 plants
