it should work good. I have seen videos of pedal powered hovercraft that used big squirrel cage fans. im not sure how loud they are but they cant be any louder than any other fans I wouldnt think. as far as mounting it you could build a box that has a round hole that a piece of pvc pipe fits into for your outlet and then hook a dryer vent to that. then have another hole that your fan mounts up to

why do those fans suck or something? those fans are used for a lot of things because they push a lot of air so therefore would work great. sounds to me he wants to make use of what he has on hand and doesnt want to spend $200 on a fan. I would have one up and running in about 15 minutes. its the pc fans that suck.

I,ve seen these fans implemented in many grow rooms. My room is 36 cubic feet therefore this fan would force air out of my room 5 times in 1 min. I thought everyone knew about this type of fan.

I just don't like the noise they make is all I still have a few of them on the shelf. I switched to vortex fans they move more air then my old squirl cage fan is capible of.

Check at your local hydro store, they should have a mounting bracket that bolts over the air out vent. It should have a reducer with it to make the square hole into a round hole that a vent pipe can attach to.
thanks for the pic.was wondering what ya meant by squirrell fan

on the fan note
friend on mine used a oscilating fan to simulate the wind was all good till it burn down his lil biulding,
he never turned it off and it just wore out and cuaght fire(he had it years)
he had got it at a Dollar store
i wont even use them lil $5 fans at all now for anything now
there banned from my house.

next grow i do will be indoor,this outdoor loss shit kills me
i been a grower for decades and its so hard to get over losing so much
so i will be soon amoung the ranks of the newby indoor growers and say
Keep the help flowing
peace

Listen up mirror man.

As long as you wanna run around here telling everyone mirrors are as good as or better than white or mylar, you have no biz. telling anyone not to listen to anyone.

He can listen to whomever he wants.

Even you and your dumbshit mirror theories.

Show me some of your great mirror grows and maybe then I will listen to your incredibly moronic, stupid mirror theories.

And I don't think Zero Revolt needs your inout as to whom to listen to and not listen to.

What are you the national weed board listening advisory committee?

No you're not. You're still a grower who believes mirrors are better than mylar for growing.

How bout from this point on, we just ignore one anothers posts and that way we can prevent any further needless confrontations?

I seriously doubt a squirrel cage fan wll move more wind than this fan.......

Plus, isn't it true that squirrel fans have a lower static pressure than vortex fans?

hey I didnt tell anyone to use it so fuck you. you are the one with all the bad advice from what I see. topping isnt natural. bullshit more natural than bending the fuckers. you think you are a pro after your first grow? Ive been growing since you were in diapers buddy. you also have no class at all with your name and your names for your plants. scumbag telling the dude to take a hammer to his fan whats an asshole

HARDDON

06-22-2005, 10:02 PM

Growing since I was in diapers?

Well then that makes you an old fart and if you werent so old I'd have someone come up to NY and whoop your grandfather legs you mirror praising old fart.

Hey why dont you take a hammer and fuck yourself....

Oh and make sure you use the clawed end...

Be sure to look in your stupid mirrors too whilst you fuck yourself with that clawed hammer.

HAPPY FUCKING YOURSELF WITH A HAMMER :)

One more thing....

IF you ever do post some pics of your grandfather grows, I am gonna name your plants

Now I will ask you once again, very nicely you fuckin internet thug, to just from this point forward, ignore me, my posts, my presence, my HARD ON, my Cunts Whores Sluts and everything else you despise about me.

Please....just ignore me and I will ignore you?

That way we can keep other peeps from having to read our bullshit.

If you wish to carry this further, I have posted my email address several times and I would be more than happy to continue to infuriate you outside the context of this board.

Sound like a good idea tuff guy??

Now since I posted this last, I will give you the last word and I wont reply and then we can ignore one another from this point on.

Ok you mirror stupid fuck?

Oh and by the way, bending is still more natural than topping.

HAVE NICE LIFE :)

go call your mother what you name your plants and see if you get the crap beat out of you. I bet you do . you are disrespectfull, vulgar, offensive and repulsive.
any females here think those are nice names?

without trying new teqniques we wont get any farther with stuff
just because something hasnt been done doesnt mean it cant work
thats how new products come out on the market that help people

the squirrel cage fans are used for all sorts of stuff and the one Zandor used is not the only kind either. go find a vortex fan that pushes as much air as a leaf blower. I bet you cant.
Im not saying bending plants doesnt work because it does but topping works also.
but I wont tell people to do something my way just because it works for me.

go reread my mirror post and if you cant understand it then go back to school

I agree. HARDON, there is no need for this excessive gratuitous vulgarity. Take it down a notch. No, take it down several notches. I don't want to be the censorship Nazi, but you've crossed several lines here. Let's not give stoners a bad name by acting like a bunch of egotistical children, ok?

Enough is enough. Everyone kiss and make up. :)

Sure Beetle no problem...

But why am I the only one getting spanked here?

What about:

"Come on up to NY & THIS OLD DUDE will whip u ass for real."

"you are disrespectfull, vulgar, offensive and repulsive."

"I didnt tell anyone to use it so fuck you"

"scumbag...what an asshole"

I guess its cool for everyone else huh?

No, it isn't. But I don't expect a bunch of nuns here, either. We'll tolerate quite a lot of unnecessary cursing, it's the nature of the board. But you have been, at least in this thread, the most egregious offender. I'm not going to tell you want you can't say, but I will tell you when you've crossed a line. I'll settle for dialing it down a few notches. That's all I'm asking.

06-23-2005, 12:40 AM

"you are disrespectfull, vulgar, offensive and repulsive."
And what, do tell, is wrong with this? It's neither offensive nor vulgar, even though you may disagree with it. Based on a significant portion of your prior threads, I would have to agree with his assessment, actually.

But, at least you seem willing to be reasonable, and that's good enough for me.

HARDDON

06-23-2005, 12:46 AM

It's not?

I am thinking perhaps that is a matter of opinion.

I never even said a word to this old dude and he just jumps in on my shit cuz he "is offended"....???

Ok, sure....whatever you say beetlebrox...

One question though....

Is it ok if I tell MYSELF to go fuck the clawed end of a hammer? :D :D :D

ok I was a little harsh with the verbals and I was wrong to do that
I am sorry but
there are many ways of doing things and there is still many things that can be done that havent that someday hopefully will be discovered
we arent going to discover this unless we keep an open mind
but there are also proven results as well and sometimes if you change them a little bit then way different results occur. I am nowhere near the smartest person on this board but I am sure even the smartest has much to learn.
and by the way I kind of actually do like the name "Mirror Man" its kinda like a superhero maybe I'll change my name and make a cool avatar for it

Does anyone know how you would mount a squirrel fan in a grow closet? It's 180 cfm's. How loud do these things get? I've always used vortex inline fans in the past.

Thanks in advance. :confused:

Ok I will try again....

You get mounting hardware like the picture (if you need more detail let me know and I will take more pictures)
There are 2 way's one is to mount the blower on the outside and run ducting from the air in (the side of the blower) to a hole in the top of your cabinet. That will save space if that is an issue.
The second is to mount it in the ceiling of your cabinet and plumb it outside.

I think that's about it. You are missing the mounting bracket is all but I'm just guessing.

I find no evidence if this. HARDON has several IP addresses attributed to him, which is normal for a dialup user. I checked several of the addresses, and no one shared any of them with him. Larry's IP addresses are totally different.

And, HARDON, I didn't ban sykobabble. That was del...'s deal.

Thank you beeblejuice for posting the results.

I regret my choice of words blaming you for sykobabbles banning....

you could mount it like Zandor said but you can also build a custom box that will adapt the square hole to a round one. It can even be cardboard.

I feel bad about telling ZERO to bash in his fan with a hammer.

Nah, I guess I really don't... :D

Anyhow, I went into my basement and pulled this one out.

If you really, really, really want to move some air, get ahold of an A/C repair man and buy one of these, used, cheap.

Its from my home AC unit I replaced last year.

I always knew I kept this fan for a reason. :):)

This will be my next air mover...and trust me, it blows up to 70MPH if not dampered.

This fan just blows like a damn gale force depression.

Actually I intend to box it out, vent tube the incoming air to the side intakes and blast the rest into the 2 foot carbon cylnder I bought.

And if it dont work, I'll take the claw hammer to it. :)
