Re: Extraction question
For me in veg tend to have my extraction off only comes on if humidity get to high I’ve set so it does to keep the air moving but once hits flower stick it on 24/7 even tho smell happens for me week 4-6+
To make sure you have neg pressure you have to find out how much air your tent holds with an hour. So difficult but really easy
WxLxH=??x60mins= max air per hour
So example.
1.2mx1.2mx2m=2.88
Then
2.88x60=173m3/h
If your included a filter add 25% to 173 to compensate
173x1.25 = 216m3/h
If you want intake it’s minus 25% instead of adding
Now you have what max air will be in there it’s ideal to run you fan between 50-75% power
Fan plus filter
To work out what power you’ll have when inculcating filter you take 25% from your fan m3/L will tell you on your fan somewhere or box or shop
Example
Ac infinity 4” 348m3/h
348x0.75= 261
This fan would need to round at about 80% power
Next size up 6” 683m3/h
683x0.75=512
This fan would run at 40% power
This would almost guarantee no positive pressure so everything from your tent would have to go through a filter before it leaves the area.
Hope this makes sense
