what kind of fan you put as extraction? a real extractor shouldn't melt if everything is in good proportion.

I would do cooltube extractor filter. but filter stop a little air flow so you gotta take an extractor a little bigger than needed

Good luck man ;)

yes i will put up some pics if i can tho its hard to get in and do that as the space is so small that the tent is in,,

ok so what u are saying is that id be better to have my filter set up with the strongest fan and the cooltube with the smaller one,

i have to fans now well i will when the replacement comes,

just now i have it set up as my filter top left attached to my cooltube with 0.5m of duct then more duct going out of the tent to the next room throo wall around 1m long with a small 45 degree bend, with this and fans inside the tent and flaps open im at 27.5c but its not really hot outside today,last night i had it up at 30.1 ,

i can however take the cooltube off of this set up and use the filter on its own with the 340 m fan and the cooltube with the 220 fan, but would this have to be vented out of the room to,

here is a pic of the set up now the filter at top right cooltube and out to fan a meter away,,

u use filter during veg? it should be filter->fan->colltube-> [or fan->filter->cooltube depending on what kind of filter u have] so hot air from cooltube will not destroy the fan

About us

Strain Hunters is a series of documentaries aimed at informing the general public about the quest for the preservation of the cannabis plant in the form of particularly vulnerable landraces originating in the poorest areas of the planet.

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.
