Quick question: I live in a trailer. My tents approx 2-3 feet for a/c vent. Can only put a small fan in front of it and attach a dryer vent to run into room?
@Laurap I’m a little confused and not sure if I got you right are you asking if you can put a fan to move cool air into tent I assume you have Ac in trailer ?
Another option if your tent has a space for a intake fan at bottom I have round holes I can put a fan in on the bottom of my tent
You can go to Home Depot and get a room to room fan in the Ac Dept for like 20-30 $ than will be able to move 100cfm or more into tent
And attach a 4inch flex duct to that
If your following me
Something like this they have different sizes
That’s a six inch but you can get four also depending on how much air you need to move
Sorry sometimes I get ahead of myself. About 3 feet away from tent I’m floor is an a/c vent. I was wondering could I set fan in front of a/c vent attach a dryer vent to fan then vent into tent? Is that crazy?
Hubby understood what you were saying. A big thanks . Headed to h Depot today
Do you live in the SW part of the states? In Texas & heat hasn’t started yet. From your advice think I can keep it cool enough for now but what about August?
Sorry to bother you but hubby wanted me to ask you of exact purpose of exhaust and filter in tent. It has to do more than suck air out of tent and vent out under our house. Plants won’t smell a lot during vegetative state.
Please explain: dummies growing weed version
Plants need fresh co2 rich air and by exhausting we get rid of used hot stale air the filter removes scent before the hot stale air exits. Most run passive system meaning exhaust pulls in fresh air as it removes hot stale air adding a fan to bring in fresh cool air means exhaust doesn’t have to work so hard
No not crazy, purchase a 4 or 6 inch straight stacked duct boot attach duct work and run into the tent. I did this and it will help keep temps down.
Sorry for the delayed response lol
Was having a crazy day at work yesterday
I’ll be around if you need @Donaldj is on point yet once again bravo brother
You won’t need a carbon filter initially as you stated
But proper air flow and exchange is important to the health of your plant most of us never shut down our exhaust fans I and I know a few other will recycle our air in colder months to help maintain heat and humidity but you still need to have fresh air mixed in to maintain a healthy environment
And to answer your other question lol
I live in Ny State and have my grow in my basement which stays below 80 all summer so I don’t have as much of a problem with the heat issues but do have a supplemental Ac for my grow room
I used to keep a window unit in basement but recently picked this up its more than enough for my needs
Thanks so much for info and link for exhaust fan. We’ve ordered it and on its way. Your explanation of exhaust and filter make sense now. Donaldj also was looking out for us as well. Hubby tried to pull down temp with fan shooting inside lower porthole but we could only get temp to 10° higher than temp in house. Will this exhaust work when I’ve got 100° plus in august or should I plan on more fans due to Texas heat?
Once again many thanks. Seeds are on way from Robert and expect exhaust to arrive by then. Finally! Our projected start date was 4/1/17 but now hoping for 5/1/17.
Happy 4-20!
Happy 420 @Laurap
Yeah it will help but you’ll need to try and keep house cool
I’m sure you have Ac in the house down there so as long as that’s running and keeping the house cool temps should be manageable in tent
I’m waiting on some beans as well hoping next week or so on there arrival
New here with a question on shipping
I have one of those fans as well only a 4" but i found that a bathroom exhaust fan works better and moves more air.
I was show an example of a duct booster fan that they could use to hook up to there HVAC system they had mentioned earlier in thread they where thinking about doing @Northroader but thanks for your input
I buy my fans at the HVAC supply house I use at work pay less than most of the setups online and use inline bathroom exhaust fans sized for my tents
Happy growing

I’ve got the duct fan 6" you sent pic for and vent. So far holding at 84°. I haven’t gotten my circulating fan from ups yet so have no fan yet inside tent. Think we’ve got it licked?
Hi what’s your question. I’ll try to help
When will I be able to track my order I paid for shipping
That’s a question for administration bro
@ILGM.Support.Roy or @ILGM.Claire might be able to assist you here
Good luck
So glad countryboyjvd1971 answered you as I’m awaiting order as well. My first.
(I’m not an ILGM Rep, just trying to help out)
When did you place your orders? My last order just arrived last week and it took about three weeks or about 15 business days.
You only get tracking if you pay extra for it. (If that helps) and you should have gotten an email shipping confirmation a day or so after your order was placed?
