Impossible to exhaust to outside......

[puff4twentynow]

I don't own the property i live in and i can't cut into the walls to create a port to exhaust to outside? Any ideas??????

[puff4twentynow]

so no one has got any ideas huh???? Yeah i'm not sure what to do either. For now all i can do is filter the air and circulate it. New air does get blown in every 20 minutes. But as far as pushing it out, thats tha question? HAPPY GROWIN!!!!!!!!!!1 :D :D :D

There's always your dryer exhaust, but that is one long way to go depending on where in your home you are growing. Either that or you could find the nearest window lol.

Perhaps if you have central air you can unhook the vent in your growrrom and exhaust up thru the attic. Requires no new holes in house, though you will lose your air/heat (at least partially) in that room. Once you get to the attic, look for the nearest roof vent.

Maybe, you can cut a hole in the roof of a closet ... that will take you into the attic and then go out side from one of the vents on either end of the attic spce. I have sen this done in many rental units.. Holes in the roof of the closet are easy to repair and don't need to be done perfectly .. land lords don;t usually even notice..

you have a valid concern ... air circulation is IMPORTANT

good luck

Doors are cheap and easy to replace. Buy a door and put your landlords one in the garage. You can make all type of exhaust that can use the door to move the air out and in. You can make a vent out that is tight when the door is closed but not in the way when the door is open for one idea.

yep, plaster and doors are the easiest things to replace, cut it , keep the cutouts for replace ment, google hardware websites for plastering repairs, its grandmothers work

sounds like some good ideas. Thanks.

I finally solved my problem. This is what I did. Since i couldn't vent outside the room i was growing in, i created a smaller room for flowerin. The box i made has the grow space of 3 feet 6 inches height 20 inches deep and 28 inches wide. I created a hole for exhaust and now it even cools the box from the hot 400w bulb. Now my problem is heat issues since i still can't vent out of the room. So i solved that problem by duct taping three vents in my place to force air to flow faster to the room they are in. I then attached some extra ducting to the existing vent and made it so the A/C is flowin straight into the box. Hopefully this will take care of the heat issue while the exhaust fan is not on. Will post to fill you all in. I know you all are waiting with such anticipation....... HAPPY GROWIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :D :D :D
