I just went to cut the holes and had a thought.
Grow room exhaust into attic.
If you don t want your plants to breathe it over again there is a hack.
Tip 3 of 7.
I will have one 6 inline fan running air through my 400 hps bulb have a 6 exhaust at the top of my tent blowing through a carbon scrubber and possibly another 4 inline fan at the bottom for intake.
Grow room design setup venting ac to attic.
Essentially using the attic space as an air treatment space dealing with all the issues created by venting warm moist air into a presumably sealed attic and using the water and cold air generated to further improve the grow room.
Your grow room is going to be bright and attics have less places for light to leak out and alert neighbors.
No matter how hard you try some warm air coming out of the exhaust system will be still there in the room.
I m not too sure on how if the attic is vented.
Some attics are difficult to get to.
In an active intake the size of the intake hole does not matter.
We show you how to purify your growroom s incoming air using ideal air duct collars and couplers phresh intake filters and hurricane inline extraction fans.
Wondering what size inline extraction fan and carbon filter you need for air exchange in your indoor garden.
All along my plan was to cut a hole in the ceiling attach fan and exhaust into my attic.
The outside source of fresh air could be a separate room in your house the hallway an attic basement cracked window or even directly from outside if.
Either an intake fan that pulls air from an outside source or a passive exhaust system pulls in fresh air by forcing old air out through an exhaust duct.
It s not included on a tour of the house and isn t visible to neighbors.
Ok so i m using a grow tent in my closet 20 x 36 x 64 from htg and my only worry is ventilation.
The attic only has the soffit vents all around.
Exhausting into the attic would be super easy but again i pause with reservation of mold concerns.
I was thinking of a portable or building a window ac unit box and exhausting the heat into the attic or maybe tap into the bathrooms fart fan exhaust.
Your grow room will therefore have two other fans one blowing air into the grow room and another blowing air out of the grow room.
My grow is in a small closet in a spare room of the house.
This will avoid the build up of humidity and heat when you vent grow tent into attic.
Is this going to cause the bud smell to permeate the house.
Moreover you need to use the active intake system if your tent is enormous or if you face problems brought about by high temperatures.
Open loop grow rooms consistently provide fresh air to the plants in one of two ways.
