    Hey everyone, hope you’re having a great start to the week! So, Here’s the idea/plan, how would you go about it?

    Thinking about doing an 8” intake split with a T to 2 tents (one 5×5 and the other a 2×4) with a 6” exhaust in the bigger tent and a 4” exhaust in the other. Trying to get air moving through and improve the quality overall.

    Yea or nay?

    You will want a way to damper the vent down in the 2 x 4 because without it being balanced it will be hella neg pressure on one and not the other. I tried something similar but I made the tents attach together and share ventilation but didnt think about light leaks from veg tent to flower tent. I also like two seperate units better because i leave one or more tents open a lot and ill turn the vent down on the open ones. Just a couple things to consider, good luck!

    And that’s exactly why I ask the questions, seeing what I missed. The idea is to have the intake in the lung room between the 2 tents and have a pre-filter. The 2×4 is the seedling/clone tent. Now, i think restricting the flow to the smaller tent could be accomplished with a reducer and some filter material in the intake ducting on that one side. As it is not heated air, it should be good as far as safety is concerned 🤔

    I’ll have to test things before putting plants in everything.

    To keep neutral pressure in your tents you need the same airflow going in as out. You need the same size inline fan on the intake as exhaust. More airflow is always better.

    Try this for flow control.
