How to combat the heat when growing indoors?

[zamzia]

I've had a few glasses celebratory champers so Im bit blunter than norm, dont take it wrong way but at end of day I dont chat shit, I post sbout things I got direct experience of

What are you celebrating fella?

Have you seen the Etaline ones too? If so, how do they compare?

So is the 6" Hyperfan + Twin Fan Controller + the 5" TT for intake a good combo for me?

 

[Dank Demon]

^^ Its better than what you have mate so try it..

 

[Sunzi]

Ok!! Any recommendation on the 6" filter?

What about this one?

dont skimp on a filter

get a rhino, phresh or mountainair

 

[Harry Gypsna]

Those hydrobuddy filters are alright, they use the same carbon as Can filters, but they wont last as long as the brands SB mentioned. Rhino and Mountain Air are great filters (I've used both).

EDIT
The hydro buddy ones are better than the "Budget" filters available at growshops. They do the job, but will need replacing sooner. I've used HB too!

 

[Dank Demon]

As per SB and Harry, Carbon filters are not the area to skimp on. Rhino are what I use.

 

[Sunzi]

In that case, what about this one?

I've just noticed there's 2 types (hobby and pro)... I imagine I should go 4 the pro ones, right?

A 6" 150x600 (900m3) Rhino pro filter sounds good enough...

[Dank Demon]

Pro's last 2 years mate.

 

[Sunzi]

Also, if the hyper fan has 565m3/ph, would it be enough with a 600m3 filter or should I go for a larger one?

[Dank Demon]

You want to go with the 600 long filters not the 300s if possible mate. http://www.progrow.co.uk/acatalog/info_712.html bit cheaper but problem with fleabay is if your getting the real deal and not a knock off http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150x600mm...140122125356&rk=3&rkt=6&sd=251030551578&rt=nc

 

[Sunzi]

Ok, thanks DD!

 

[SativaBreather]

hobby is good but lasts half as long as pro

 

[SupaFunk]

Just out of interest, those of you using Rhino's, how long are you finding them lasting effectively?

My last two had barely completed a run before I could detect a feint whiff.

Previous ones have lasted a couple of runs at least.

I am getting around the full 2 years by washing the white fibre filter every few grows when dirty.

Are you talking about the pro or hobby version?
What is your humidity like? Too much humidity reduces the effectiveness of carbon filters.

 

[SupaFunk]

@Dank - I wash them after every run. I've even bought new ones.

@Harry - Pro version. Humidity where it should be.

It's only been the last two that have performed really poor. Prior to these, they've run fine for 12-18 mths.

These came from a well know store. I guess they could have been part of a faulty batch or maybe got damp in storage?

 

[Sunzi]

How do you wash the white fibre sleeve?

 

[zamzia]

I hand washed it, but I bet they would be fine in a washing machine on a gentle cycle. Maybe add some fabric softner with a nice fragrance lol
