6in iso max 420m3/hr Do I need bigger fan

R

Hey Icmag I have an extraction question.
I am running a 6in iso max fan that moves
Airflow: 310/360/410 m3/hr. I have mine
Running at step one 310m3/hr. My temps
Are 24c to 25c.my question is if I extract
At 360m3/hr or full speed at 410m3/hr the temp stays the same.? Why is this I thought
More extraction less heat. My filter is only
150mm/300mm.600m3/hr

I also have a 200mm/400mm 800m3/hr
Would this be better. For my setup

Your VPD is fine tuned with the amount of cfm you are exhausting. If you increase your fan output, expect your temp and RH to go down as well. You also forgot to tell what is the volume of your space?

Short strokes. Your tent is 100x150x200cm= 3,000,000cm3 = 3m3. Your fan is more than capable of handling your environment.

My tent exhausts outdoors. I have to adjust my fan speed to fine tune between lights on and lights off. adjust = a smidgeon!

From 310 to 410 is a third more, which was measured with the fan hanging in free space. It's not much of a gain when installed. You could probably make a greater difference changing that ducting for hard pipe, using a long 90 elbow. Though if your room is also 25c, then no amount of extraction will make a difference

I have the temp of the room 22.5c
The tent is 24.5c just now.
I wanted to upgrade to 600watt
But I can't see it working.

600w is a bit, but what do you have now? under 25 isn't warm, and is nowhere near hot.

You need to control your environment, both inside and outside the tent. What is the sweet spot? Trial and error. You need to chill because your fan is more than adequate to handle a 600 watter. AAMOF it is capable of handling 1000w.

There is a reason why folks exhaust outdoors :)

Thanks I'mback I need to extract outdoors
But it's freezing here. So would be spotted coming out my flat... Could put hole in wall
To another room maybe that would be better

Hi f-e I have a 400watt metal halide over the plants in a North star Reflector

What temp can I flower with for good results.
I heard its under 26c
