- A quick video on how I used one inline fan to exhaust 2 grow tents and the long term benefits of buying a quality inline fan vs a cheap one. The crazy thing is that this inline fan is extremely well priced considering that it is pretty much the best option available on the market.
AC Infinity 4" Inline Fan: amzn.to/33bi69x
Y-Ducting Connector: amzn.to/2HwVrgo
Four Layer Ducting: amzn.to/374o5hQ
Mars Hydro Grow Kit: amzn.to/38zBxwp
Wire cutters my G🤣
ikr
I came to say the same thing.
lol right.I just bent the wire in and out and it heats up and break...No tools
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️😅🤣😂
The cause of the noise from cheaper ducting is the plastic between the wire rings moving as air passes through the ducting. That's why the AC ducting is thicker, less movement = less noise.
I do agree with you; black ducting needs black hose clamps. Thanks for sharing your journey.
I like the AC Infinity. The ability to control a few degrees temp with the exhaust automatically is a pretty big deal when trying to optimize your environment
I run a similar airflow setup with a 2in1 and a small 2.5x2.5x4.5. I just designed and 3d printed my own 4in y adapter. Works just fine.
I'm getting a 3x3 with a built in clone/seedling area and this would save me twice the money on avoiding a second fan, this is very helpful, I don't do this a lot but you get a thumbs up
AC Infinity make good products. But if you’re running at 100% currently, you cannot set your controller to monitor anything on an alarm mode. For instance if it raised above a 90° setpoint that you had placed, it will not have any more capacity to boost up to remove dangerous hightemps when your away🤷♂️. That is the main purpose of the controller. JS
Yeah and your tents need to be nearly the same size. A 5x5 is obviously not requiring the cfms of a 2x4
Anytime I set my house temp a little warm, I hear that beep beep and fan ramping up and know I'm in good hands. AC Infinity is about to drop high quality clip on tent fans!!! I'm so dam excited
Im wondering why not a T joint? Wouldnt it pull equal air?
I found my Y. adapter for a ventilation on Amazon.
It kicks ass! I'm running 2 fan\carbon filters and one 2x4 tent.
Hey brother I like your video good way to think outside of the Box when it comes to ventilating 2 tents. AC infinity's ducting It's made very well good product when I have to cut mine I use wire cutters to cut the wire of it and I had no problem maybe you have to put a little bit more elbow grease on that brother keep it up like your videos
I have a roughly 3×3×6 clone/veg chamber & 4×4×8 bloom chamber.. my veg chamber by nature isnt as watt/light intensive - just a led light rated for the area.. the bloom chamber has led light rated for area plus 2 far red/ir booster puc, 3 54watt T5HO agromax bulbs- pureveg+UV , UVA+, PureUV & a California lightworks uvb bar to even out the UV spectrum, footprint & penetration. So yes the bloom chamber runs about as hot as a 600watt HID. 😅 The way i have mine set up is i use a lungroom for intake air.. lungroom is ac central air. i also have humidifiers in each chamber. The veg chamber has a open intake - negative pressure with the outake outside sucking out and then blasting into the bloom chamber to create positive pressure. I then have another ac Infinity unit the T6 or whatever the 6 inch dc mitor is😅 anyways that is outside the tent and i have that suck out the hot air from the bloom chamber and have it routed to a carbon scrubber. I run the whole system at about 65% a tad over half.. but the carbon scrubber does make me turn up the bloom chamber vent speed setting a tad higher. Never had a issue but then again my ac is 69-70° in summer and even colder in winter so it works pretty efficiently. If i had to do it again id get the 8 inch models or another 6.. just cause i dont like running my vent speed wot.. wide open max setting etc.. but as for space move everything you can outside the tent... ballasts, ventilation motors , carbon scrubber etc.. you are gonna need that space plus you gotta be pretty brave habnging all that off these tent supports.. just move that heat outside and leave that space for light canapoy and the girls and a humidifiers/dehumidifier.
Brah that wire is definitely commercial grade.Very clever idea!
IJust had the same thought...thats how I found you. I was going to run my inline to draw from both the tent and the from window with fresh air at the same time. It has a 4"FAN 130 CFM @ 2500 RPM. YOU think it would work.
Man, I racked my brain and thought this idea up, or something similar anyway, and found your video to back it up. Just ordered my y connector and ducting. Thanks man!
That Y saved my ass, thanks for the video. 😊😊
Good play. I am doing the exact same thing with an Infinity fan. They are so worth the extra money. You can also run 2 fans with 1 controller. Temp setting and humidity setting is very good stuff. If you use the temp and humidity settings it adjusts speed automatically, it also has a loud warning bell when you hit your alarm temp and rh. Or you can pick a setting and roll. Its a pretty expensive temp and hygrometer though. You can use a S series cloudline without the control module. T series cloudline has the controller and temp/rh probe the S series is obviously cheaper without controller Same fan though. Both can share the same control module. Intake outake.. good video. The ducting is worth the money too. Very nice...
They got two wifi models out now, even one that does up to 4 devices. Epicness
So go to a store that sells crochet rings n the big 2x2 size air exchange filters, separate the rings cut filter material a little bigger than the ring n put it between the rings. Reason for this is you can keep the round sleeve openings in your tent open for airflow n it will be filtered air n tent won't get to hot, put material one way in one hole n one the other it's awesome for roof vents n floor vents in tents.
try bending the wire back and forth in the same spot and itll weaken it to cut
Watching your attempt at cutting the support wire was amusing, but understandable...That wire is designed that way to keep it from collapsing in situations...I too had issues back when I first started to work with that flex hose and no matter what type, size or brand, there all the same...I learned to get out my linemen’s pliers and make it easy...
Also...Glad you showed this idea...I’m doing a similar setup for the 3 section Grow Room I’m putting together...But I’ll admit I have HVAC experience so this should be cool to try...😎
Wow I thought I was the only one to think of this idea! Nice one!
That wire being that strong proved how strong you were hoping it to be 😃💪 seems indestructible! Kinda looks like what I have from my local grow shop. With ducting I would say put a sock(easiest cloth ducting filter) over the intake to other tent as you want the cleanest air(dust,hair,pests) for the ladies. Remember, always cover ones hole 😆 😝Stay Frosy✌️🇨🇦
Will be using this tip in the near future!
I been thinking of a similar idea. Taking the ac infinity T6 and linking a 4x8 and 2x4 together. The Cfm is within range. I thought of a 45° split reduced to 4" pipe on the 4x2 side to pull less air there and more off the 6 inch 4x8 side. Also id set up the ducting to have as few turns and as short as possible. Even cutting off every inch you can and stretching it helps. I been testing this and the long turning hoses slows things down more then I wanted. I think it can be done but I'd much rather have just bought the big 8" fan for this.
lpt: put your hand through the back of the ducting to get it on the pipe easier, then you dont need to cut it.
in austria it is called "bypass" 2 for 1 fan
I really love your videos. They are always very informative. Thanks for sharing
est way is you want to reduce the size of both lines going in to the tent so for optimal condition you would want a 6 in fan that reduce to 2, 4 in intakes this will allow you drop the fan speed even more saving on power or if you have long runs to make with your ventilation
Just used the 8 inch ductwork and connect the small tent to the big tent and install your carbon filter inside of the tent so that you do not heat into your environment and exhausted out of a dryer exhaust from the 10th to the wall. You can connect an 8 inch at the top and bottom and put a filter on the intake of the small one
Definitely works a desk job, and those are tinsnips
With all the bullshit bro science out there, I really appreciate you being everything together and sharing your knowledge and experience. Keep up the videos as best you can, I love em!
tape was for holding down the cut wire end.
I remember the first time I used needle nose pliers too..
Awesome ingenuity bro!
I stopped running those plastic pos, ac infinity included. Save myself some real money by buying those old school round things. I’ve ran one for 6 years now and I’m barely gonna replace, not because it’s got issues but just because.
An ac infinity inline fan is just to expensive for the average budget grower
They are worth saving up for ive had my 6 inch on a 2x4 for 2 years now brother... yea price looks high as hell but add in the low watt usage and it savea u money long haul. No body is planning on only 1 grow... goodluck
That’s definitely true, I spent 160 on Amazon including shipping for the 4 inch, and I must say.... I don’t see how people don’t save for them...they are game changers, and the customer service is the best!!
its around the same price point of any worth ur time useing yes thare are cheaper but 1 draw more power 2 dont work as well 3 shorter life span so in the end these cheap budget fans cost u more
The 67 controller now has Bluetooth 😎
@@dg2203 find a code online i got mine for about $138
Never ever more than 1300w in one circuit. Rule of thumb.
Good luck using a space heater @1500 watts lmao
I'm not an electrician, but I'm fairly certain it's more about amperage than wattage when talking about circuits anyway
power = voltage * amps. now calculate your average 16 amp fuse with ~50% wear in mind so you dont use your in-wall power cable as a space heater over time. or the fuse itself. best thing about this, i'm not a electrician either. I'm just educated properly.
@@B01 give you that, an electrician would say it's 1350w but they also calculate it with RMS if AC, but that's negligible for this kind of safety. a fuse holds 3000w (16A @ 220V), but only punctual. let it draw 3000w for like 12hrs and it will blow after like 1. this is why single 2000w devices (example hair dryers, microwaves, vacuum cleaners) are straight out banned from being sold for home use at my place.
@@David-eg6sd maybe you should redesign it
I knew I should of got the online fan and ducting from AC shit looks super clean and eco friendly
If this doesn t work long term ac infinity makes a inline booster fan for under 40 bucks. love your vids
Dude. A pair of wire snippers or cutters is what you're supposed to use. A lot of people call them dykes.
Scissors? Lmao!
$10 at Walmart or Home Depot lol
I watch all of your videos and I have to say this one made me laugh the most. Upvote 2 times!!! 😁🤣🌱🌱🔥🔥🇺🇲🤪
Duct Tape and use the pliers to fatigue the metal.
I had to use bolt cutters to cut the metal lol and I had the exact same idea I have the same set up
Good THANKSGIVING DAY TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM HOUSTON TX USA
Side cutters bruh, absolute necessity for the ducting.
I’m more interested in doing it backwards putting the canister filter inside and blowing everything out I’m going to give that a try connected to 2 tents
Any ideas on how I connect 2 tents to one canister blowing out
I took and fed off my 3x3 vented through my 2x2 and out the exhaust of the 2x2.
You can also use this method to feed an ac into two tents 👍🏼
Yes!
I’m curious to see how it would dial in both tents tho?
I’m going to do this. I have AC Infinity tents & the 6” with control panel. Obviously, there is only 1 temp probe so I’ll get a separate climate reader for 2nd tent. Is that what you mean?
Gonna get an Inkbird btw. I am growing mushrooms & draw out carbon dioxide.
So do you just vent into the room there in ?
I wouldn't complain about the wire being hard to cut. That's quality.
Just bought a connector.. I'm wondering will it not blow hot air into my other tent rather than sucking air out?
How do control the 2 separate climates though? I'm wanting to do this with my 4x4 and my 2x4. I have the ac T6. Is there any way to run 2 hygrometer probes? I love your content!
Couldn't you have just put the two tents closer together and ran one piece of ducting all the way through straight through both tents? Then you wouldn't have that slight bend that will reduce some CFM.... Or am I missing something here? Curious because I'm trying to run single fan two tents.
I like how you have that setup, you just got a sub a like and I'm ringing the 🔔
How do you use the thermometer and hygrometer on the controller in 2 tents?
Yo bro, what happen if I run a 200 one into a cabinet that only needs 50. Any problem? Or just more air flux? Thx
I bought some fsn like the ac infinty for 160euros from some china brsnd nsme with dame controller but different connector.. those fans looking fishy to me 🤔
dude you sound like Hamilton Morris so much! lol
cool! thank you
U can private mode that to collect seeds
Thats is wire !!! You need Wire Cutters to cut that WIRE !!!
This is a great idea I was stressing about buying another everything for a second tent
That’s a dust collection fitting for a wood shop dust collection system 😂
its so noisey because its running 100% without fan controller
This is cool but youre exhausting the hot air into that shed which is gonna heat up the room.
Your not supposed to cut those........... that's good quality I run ac infinity ducting.... this is great advertising on how well built they are
Also to add.... just coil your extra ducting up like your folding an accordion up.. then wrap the compressed part in duct tape so you create a "shell" arround the "folded" duct... never know when your gonna need to extend that out.. better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it
It's good quality ducting with stainless steel wire, very hard to cut,,
What size is the ducting and fan??
I've found the wire in the ducting is easier bending it back and forward untill it breaks I broke all my scissors untill I found that out
Genius bro👊✌
Yessir
youre not supposed to cut that with scissors bro. you need tin snips lol
works great ;)
Nice
Does anyone know a good website to get seeds?
Ilovegrowingmarijuana .com
Try Seedsman my personal favorite is mofesto genetics
Thanks for the suggestion any websites for hemp seeds in particular
Herbies
I recommend none of those use seeds here now or terpy seeds james bean seedbank treestar seedbank or pheno hut seedbank use American seedbanks
"a little bit less loud"??? LOL change out your 15 amp breaker to a 20 amp breaker and you'll be good
You should not JUST Change the breaker with out 12 gauge wire or it heats the wire to a fire hazard 14 gauge wire can’t carry the load!
Lmao I just had this idea 😭
Got Milk?
U r a pro but u need a better toolbox my dude :p
Bruh wire cutters
🤣🤣🤣 girly hands!!
It's hard to watch
Big UP force de France pouce beu la team liké donner la force merci beaucoup c réel
So does ac infinity low key pay you to d ride them and for many people not very well off but trying to an actual business I will say an ac fan at 120w is way better than an ex fan and
Also thay “plastic layer….” That is uh 4 layer pvc my dude and oh ANY BRAND SELLS IT FOR 1/2 of acinifinity used ipower and I mean their duct is way better esp if you taken the tape off the ends perfect fit every time , you gotta remove the end of duct tape…. Before insterstion and TAPE IS THERE TO PREVENT DUCT FROK RIPPING APART IN TRANSIT…. Just peel it off omg , I came here to learn not to teach the only thing I learned is you d ride ac infinity and that is the last thing I need right now and wanted to see a 2 split and ducting out I will figure it out and do a better video myself if CZcams is still a thing lol
Also thermal tape and maybe duct tape over if it’s hanging can seal as well or better than a clamp and pulls off easier instead of ripping your duct when the ring stays on with the end of the tubing and rips it up , like the wire is also not thick look at a wire greenhouse you need wire cutters for wire , it’s like amateur hour here I mean yes I’ve made all these mistakes but like I would have pre filmed the mistakes and covered toools you need like thick wire cutters idk why you are using like pliers lmao it’s METAL SMDH , videos should be informative to their topic and it’s anything but putting two lines into one focusing on ac infinity duct and fan way to much and I’ll blow you up with comments for wasting my time , good day sir.
One LAST THING maybe clamps are diff color so you can SEE THEM. Hvac is in areas other than “easy access ones” …..
You abuse of tools hurts me worse that watching my apprentice
You have no idea what your doing. Lol. Kudos for trying brah. Get the right tools.
It’s heavy duty.
