J.C Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 @Ecto - No, you can stick an RVK directly onto it and hang it in the tent to just move air around 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 @mysticriver - It can either attach to your intake or just be standalone to move air already in the tent. I'm not sure but I had a spare 8" RVK so got a DiffuseAir for that and hung it in the middle of my 1.2 x 2.4 tent. Haven't got any plants in there but did a little test and it seems more than up for the job. I reckon you could probably get away with a 6" one. Whether it will allow me to do away with the oscilating fans I don't know yet, I guess I'll only find out in about 2 months when I'm going full tilt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecto Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 How many would u need in the tent? Just one for 80x80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman O The Bored Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) After buying a 4", 6" and 8" AC Infinity fans with various filters for extract and inlet and numerous types of fans to push the air around the tent..... I have found that because i'm using an LED light now, things just don't get that hot. So the extract fan only needs to replenish the stale air.... you can work out what size for your light and tent here http://www.uk420.com/growroomtools2.php As for circulating fans, I have settled on an EC fan (mine happens to be a 12" AC Infinity) nailed to the roof of the tent blowing air through the bars of my LED. This is also remote controlled so can easily be turned up as the grow progresses. I also extract from the bottom of my tent and have a passive at the top.... this helps both fans (extract and circulating) do their job and keeps temps up, which is the other way round to what i needed in my last grow which was HID and in a different location. chair...

J.C Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 @mysticriver - No worries bud, sorry I can't be more helpful but just don't have anything to accuratly test with yet! As it goes, I'm toying with the idea of sacking off the ac fan and connecting the DiffuseAir to my intake, depends on how loud it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 @mysticriver - I ended up buying a 6" AC Infinity, mainly as it was cheap and I wanted to see how it stacked up against my rather expensive outtake fan. It should be a lot quieter than the 8" RVK that I had laying around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
