Just got a 4in fox (dinky little thing) for my mum cab , they're supposed to be banging for the money but yeah, mountain air for flowering because I hear prison food ain't all that great. I think budget filter can be a solid option as long as you keep them dry. It's easy to sign up to big spend = big performance logic. And for sure you dont want to buy bottom range.

Shumroom Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 What’s important is matching the power of the fan to the capacity of the filter. If you look closely you should find ratings for them in CFM Fan should be rated higher than filter to accommodate length of ducting plus bends etc. Atb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Just make sure the whole lot is the right size for your grow space, last thing you want is a fan going full blast the whole time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium fan + huge middle range carbon filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. A 120 x 60 tent will accomodate a 600mm CF and 6" cloudline Ac fan Edited May 3 by chrononzon23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hole in the clouds Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Don’t really get the point of long filters all the air takes the easiest path and gets sucked through the nearest point to the ducting. Surely thickness of the carbon is more important? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely thickness of the carbon is more important? Sounds like a logical point!! but if it's such a simple dynamic would we not be using 100mm long filters? Needs a deep dive. Perhaps we fail to recognise swirling draw/venturi and other wizardish tricks of physics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imho a premium fan would be a g.a.s k series e.c fan or something very similar Edited May 3 by BilgePump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrononzon23 Posted May 3 Author Share Posted May 3 An entry level EC is a step up over a basic rvk though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hole in the clouds Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 @chrononzon23 Well it’s the same whatever size filter just that surely must be exaggerated the longer it is and reach a point where it’s useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KC Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 @chrononzon23 see if it lasts 20 years and then you can say it's better than an rvk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilgePump Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 @KC my cloudlines about 2 maybe 3 years old i reckon, its just starting to show signs of having been on constantly now, give it a couple more years and it'll be for the bin i think , plenty of time to save up /sell my body for a k fan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
