Advice needed from grow tent owners

[TheChameleon]

I built an enclosed space 3'x4'x6' and had great success with cfl's when i got hps my nightmares began and it is heat related... I use the space now for cloning starting and mothers with the cfls at 65k and it is wonderful for that purpose...

Do the carbon filters eliminate all odor ?

How loud is the fan that extract the hot air ? quiet enough to sleep with ?

Would the extracted heat be too unbearable to sleep in ? (make the room to hot)

All advice wanted and appreciated !!

Hey Char,

We've got a tent, not a complete setup, but got pretty much same as what's described in what you been looking at. We haven't transferred to te tent yet, but have had all the gear working to assess noises etc. We have hung the extractor fan using those cable-tie things (I call them tie-wraps and get shouted at that they ain't called that lol) and the noise isn't too bad really. No worse than having a little fan on beside your bed during the summer....so wil take a few nights to get used to. I mean, people live right next to railway lines or below flight paths and become immune to the noises! But the fan noise isn't enough to worry about neighbors hearing

On the aspect of the heat...our solution is to get some white tumble drier hosing and attach it to the end of the foil hose.....stick some white women's tights over the end of white hose (lol) to prevent bugs climbing in, and pop it out the window.....nobody thinks anything odd about seeing a tumble drier house hanging out a window! You can also get some odor things to pop in the hose too to mask any smells, can't remeber what they're called right now, but saw them on ebay too.

Using a tent system (or any kind of grow system) when you have neighbors and not being in a legal MMJ state takes a bit of immagination in reducing unwanted attention, but it can be done, so don't let it put you off getting a tent. We're on our first grow, so very mch trial and error and hoping we don't screw up, but have done a lot of research and messing about with our stuff before getting seeds.....just didn't realise how quick these babies grow lol.

Hope this helps you a bit man, wouldn't want to see you put off by a few little teething problems! :smokin:

I think using LED is going to greatly simplify any heat problems you may have.
