I’d put that inline fan on your wire shelf with the carbon filter on is exhaust and stick the intake hose in that same hole.
I can think of a couple ways to clear out the tent. But I’ve never seen his closet and what he’s dealing with.
Zip tie it to that hanger bar?
Or stand the filter face down and put the inline on top?
@Underthestairs When you say “Stand the filter face down and put the inline on top” what exactly do you mean?
I think I am going to do like @Hellraiser said and jus strap it on a single support rod… It just scares me to put the weight on one rod I don’t want my babies squished!
Those supports are pretty strong…and you’re dealing with a 2 foot span…not that flimsy.
Yeah I was thinking this too… Not a lot of length so shouldn’t be bad… Here I go! gulp
Thanks for the push XD @MaD-VapoR
If you imagine the box is your inline fan…
It would just sit down on the floor. You wouldn’t want it too close or you’ll be drawing in used air, but that’s the idea.
But I also agree with Mad… those supports are strong especially considering the short span.
Yeah the issue with doing it that way is my intake ports are on the bottom so i would be pulling in stale air
But. I did it!
That looks great!
Thanks! Now just to figure out if I want to do the single QB or 2 of them… Hmmmmmmmmm
I guess the actual question is… do you do 2… or 2?
XD I just don’t know if I can handle the heat from 2… It hits 82 from time to time already. Share a room connected to the room with the closet so don’t want to heat it up too much. If I can run them dimmed and just closer, I would do that, but I also want to make sure ALL the plants are getting a really good amount of light… So I guess I need to figure that out somehow.
That gets into calculating DLI I believe. But now we’re getting in about my head for now. @dbrn32 and @Nicky would have opinions that would actually mean something.
Yeah I just need to know if I can run the double board light at a lower wattage and still get the HLG results I am looking for without too much added heat? @Hellraiser @dbrn32 I want to go with that one for the better driver and lower price.
I’m trying to find the words to make sense without typing an essay…
It doesn’t really matter if you put 1, 2, or even 4 boards in there until you power them. More boards is going to increase your coverage, and will be a good thing. Once you go to select driver will determine how much power each board will get. The total amount of power is going to determine the amount of heat.
You could essentially power 2 boards from single board driver. That would run boards at half power and gain efficiency, which would make total amount of light go up. Thermodynamics say amount of heat in will be same, but you won’t be in a vacuum so what you will see is actually less heat. Or, you could run 2 boards from standard 2 board driver. Double the power and you will double the heat. Also worth noting that 2 board driver will be dimmable. So you can choose where to run them. Maybe even run them hotter than needed in winter months to help canopy temps and dim in summer when its more difficult to keep temps down. There is probably a couple of in between drivers too.
You have multiple options. None of which I believe are as good as full diy build lol. But two 288 boards in 2x2 will be nice rig.
Got it. That is the information I needed. It kind of works the same with with speakers. You can run 2 speakers at 100 watts, or 4 speakers at 50 watts, you are moving more air with 4 speakers. (To a point of course) I should’ve been clearer, I will be getting the kit that includes the driver. The kit I am looking at comes with 2 boards, 600mm heatsink, and Inventronics driver. Thanks!
I’m enjoying the candyland that is curing right now. Very gassy smell and real nice daytime high.
Any thought to going with single heatsinks and mounting them side by side? Would fit better and light shape would match tent shape.
