Thats good to know. I was concerned about the smell during flower, but I could probably double up on the carbon filter. My exhaust fan is too strong for my tent size anyway.

Gotcha. My basement stays cool enough that even in the summer months I had a hard time getting my canopy temps as high as I would like. Not a big deal but you can usually see a noticeable difference in plant vigor after a few degrees. What really killed it for me was my heating and cooling bill increase. Taking air from inside of house and exhausting outside will put your home under negative pressure and the natural flow of air will move towards your fan. It was enough to notice a slight vacuum on the door when opening it.
If you think you will need to exhaust outside due to scent I would at least figure something out where it’s able to be diverted easily. Not sure how extravagant you want to get but I used 4" rigid duct and a dryer vent. I was able to go back later and install a wye with diverters. Not exactly as pictured below but similar.

I was exhausted in the attic. It worked but the lung room was always on the edge, which made keeping the tent right was a pain.
I put a duct and filter into the lung room and it’s been a little easier keeping the room and tent in the sweet spot. Several variables though, so not sure which one had the most affect.
My challenge is the inverse of yours, I fight to stay cool.

I studied my expected lung room again. There is a drop ceiling in there which I prefer not to cut up. I am now planning to try and exhaust into my lung room area. There is a cold air return in the lung room, so my hvac will recirculate some of it.

FINALLY getting around to setting up tents at the new place. Already discovered problem number 1. My 5 x 5 is 6’-11" tall; lung room has 80" ceilings. Guess I’ll be back to a 3 x 3 tent only for a while.

I forgot i have a water problem to deal with here. Filtered well water is still at 800+ ppm. Don’t really want to deal with an RO system. Any suggestions on other filtering solutions?

If it is 800 after filtering, I would NOT be drinking it either! I’m out in the sticks and could catch rainwater in barrels if needed. My well is 28 ppm, very blessed to have spring fed well.

I grew up drinking from the same well, so I’m probably going to grin and bear it. Not sure the source. Its been here a long time and its real deep. They want 10k to plumb in city water, so I’m probably not doing that either.

At least have a sample tested, don’t want you to consume something bad for you. At least you would know WHAT it is.

I’ll take a sample to the grow store tomorrow.
The beans are swiming in it. Probably add a better filter before they get too far along.

Im going on the “weed” philosophy. If they are weeds, they will be fine.

Its taking these girls a bit to get started. They were barely sprouts when I left last Sunday. Ended up having to start more beans since only one of the first 4 started. So, these are grim glue babies. The shortest (front right) is Bad Neighbor; she’s not too happy. I’ve got to keep her for now. The ones that struggle early sometimes turn out great.
