Reddit mentions of Vortex 347 CFM S Line S-600 Fan, 6"

These carbon filters are used mostly in commercial spaces. In the United States they are commonly found in marijuana grow houses to move air outside. A carbon filter removes a high percentage of odors to reduce the risk of detection.

I like them in my home because I'm not a fan of buying other scented products that "mask" smells. When I walk into my home and my carbon filter is on it smells clean. I'm not sure if that clean smell is due to something from the carbon? Either way it's a clean, crisp smell that many people comment on and cannot be replicated by chemicals.

Cons: inline fans are loud and the system is a little bulky. Noise can be reduced by adding ducting to the end or buying insulated fans as referenced below.

Pros: I breath amazing air. You can cook/smoke inside your home and it's still going to smell amazing!

Right I guess what I mean is that you have to keep in mind that your gpu Temps show in celsius but you're reading your ambient Temps in Fahrenheit. So 109 is super hot for a human but is nice and cool for a gpu at only 42 degrees celsius.

There have been lots of posts on r/gpumining where people have done similar set ups to yours. To be honest in this situation having a smaller shed would be more beneficial because it'd be easier to expel the hot air which is the number one most important thing. You don't need to cool the air from the outside you just need circulation of air . You need to install one or two giant exhaust fans in the top of your shed and one or two at the bottom as intakes. Here is exactly what I'm talking about

In this guy's setup, his boxes are small enough that his giant ass exhaust fans actually are strong enough to suck air in the sides so he doesn't even need a separate intake fan. I doubt you'd be able to do the same though because of the size of your shed. I guarantee if you just invest in some quality fans. And I don't mean box fans I mean ones like this that will really start getting fresh air in and hot air out you will be fine and won't need the ac units. Especially because those ac units themselves use a lot of juice I imagine they've got to be wrecking your profits.


Just search on YouTube for "gpu mining shed" or "gpu grow tent" and you'll get a lot of good ideas. One YouTuber in particular id check out is Angry Chicken

I know this is a a complete rebuild but you might consider multiple smaller sheds like in the first link. Smaller enclosures allow for better circulation.

Either way, good luck!

Everything looks good besides the ventilation. That fan lacks the static pressure needed to pull air through a carbon filter. You need something more like this, though I recommend a quality fan if affordable. Also, you want to pull air from the top of the tent. If you pull from the bottom, you are going to have hot, stagnant air above the filter.

You'll probably be alright, but a dimmable power supply is helpful, especially in a small space.

Personal experience here -- the iPower 4 inch filter / inline fan combo didn't work very well at all for me. My entire garage smelled like herb.


What I have now, although was a bit more pricey:


Phresh 701005 Carbon Air Filter, 6 by 16-Inch, 400 CFM


Vortex 347 CFM S Line S-600 Fan, 6"


iPower 6 Inch 25 Feet Non-Insulated Flex Air Aluminum Ducting Dryer Vent Hose for HVAC Ventilation, 2 Clamps included


CARTMAN 1" x 12' Lashing Straps up to 600lbs, 6pk in Carry Bag


 


Here's how it looks:


Grow Tent

Get this fan. Proper ventilation is super important for many things.

Seeing as you want LED, Mars Hydro is a good option for the price. For my 3x3x7 space I have a 900 watt LED, a bit strong but its working great.

Im always going to recommend more natural techniques, so if you are interested give this a thorough read

I also live in high mountains in colorado (10,000 feet here) and i absolutely need anexhaust fan running all the time. It is what ensures your plants get fresh air so they done disease and can respire properly, as well as manage humidity (its usually 20-30% where im at, but my tent is alwyas above 50% with the exhaust on max as the plants release a ton of water through their leaves, so if i turned off my fan it would get to 90%+ very quickly). And that's on top of using it for temp control as well. You also need to exhaust constantly for odor control.


I got a regular ol ipower carbon filter/Fan combo and it is just not capable of eliminating all the odor when i grow dank strains even for the first grow i used it for. The fan is loud but not the worst out there my any means, and works flawlessly.

Get phresh filters, they are just hands down the best from what I understand and I will be buying one to replace my shitty 4".


As for what fan I plan on going with, I am dead set on this 6" vortex. I hear nothing but good things about them even on the microgrowery :) They're essentially silent which is really impressive if it's capable of moving almost 2x the air mine does now which is loud for sure. My grow is in my bedroom so having the exhaust fan make so much noise blows.

With passive pin heatsinks, that exhaust fan, and a couple of clip on or oscillating fans inside the tent, it will make practically zero noise which if I am gonna have a 600-700w COB in my 4x4 (which rapes a 1000w hps) pushing out huge yields will be really fucking impressive honestly.

I got this one. Kinda pricey but very quiet.

Depending on the outdoor temperature where you live, you may want to reverse that airflow direction, so you're venting outside. You will need the intake airflow to be temp controlled, around 70-ish F. If you get extreme cold or heat where you live, drawing your intake from outside will give you trouble. However, with your budget, you can definitely afford a name brand carbon filter (Phresh is a good one), so you won't have to worry about smell.

There are a few ways to limit the fan noise. Some combination of: (1) a larger 6" fan, turned down with a fan speed controller, (2) a "silenced" fan, (3) insulated ducting, and/or (4) building a box around the fan to muffle the noise.

Also, you don't have to limit yourself to a dwarf autoflower with a 30x23" space. You can grow a pretty good size photoperiod plant in there, or maybe two smaller ones.

This is a pretty good light setup for that space, if you aren't scared of doing a little minor assembly (it's really easy). It can be done a little cheaper, but that's a pretty good, complete package (discount code: growmau5). Get the driver ending in 2100B and the poke-in 3500K SE chips, and add THIS dimmer. Assembly instructions are linked at the bottom of that page.

that's amazing that you're able to keep the temps and in general the conditions so flawless. I'm having trouble with one 600w and two led panels in my flower room, I might purchase one of these bad boys or maybe a 8inch "more powerful airflow" inline fan and just get a 8 to 6inch converter from home depot, of course it's intake is from my MH Veg tents exhaust. anyways awesome grow man, peace and I look forward to seeing more =)
