hows this set up look? 5x600

[Mr Celsius]

The fact that your first row of lights is where the air hits first makes it so more air goes to the first row, then the second row. You want to have equal amounts of air flowing through both rows. So what I said before, was a solution to your problem.

I am referencing your 2nd schematic.

Do you think I should make the furthest right port on the manifold have a 10 to 8" reducer from the manifold so it will pull more air?

I don't quite understand

Here is what I was sayin...I didnt really understand exactly what you mean by your description this was my interpretation heheh.

In this diagram, air flow will travel the easiest route, the left side will receive more air flow. To give you even flow(more control) put a wye then run an equal amount of ducting to the lights. Your large ducting size will allow for more bending of the ducting, keep this in mind when trying to place the wye. Im assuming your exhaust ports are not going to choke the airflow. Something like a 6" port.
I would recommend pushing the air with a 10" standard output inline fan with reducers on the 12" ducting. Inline fans are better suckers than pushers, but all lights leak some air, sucking dank air out of the room can ruin u.
Your ceiling height limitations means u will benefit from netting and bending. If this is something you are going to do, set up nets before plants.

Yes, well done Robin, that will work fine. You may have to tweak with it a little, but I think it'll work.

Another option:

This is what the other option I had posed was.

Ahhh that makes sense... Ok will keep that in mind. Thanks a ton for your help bro!

One question: Ive never cut ductwork before, is it going to be tricky to cut a 10" hole in a 12" duct?

Dumb question: What is the scrubber for? From the looks of your plans you are going to have a sealed room right? Are you just trying to the keep the air within the room clean? I'm confused.

 

[Robin_of_Loxxy]

I don't think just because its sealed means that smell wont make its way out. I mean there's gonna be allot of stinky buds in there and I don't want any trouble from the neighbors. The real reason is because blaze uses one and I'm kinda trying to copy his shit a little. This is just my guess hah....

Bingo! I have negative air pressure in all of my rooms and I can still smell some stuff sometimes... imgaine a "sealed" room with no negative air pressure.

Tangent: I don't do Co2 because I don't do sealed rooms because I don't like messing with all the ducting and A/C units.

You want to use galvanized ducting, the none flexible kind, to cut into. How you insert your 10" ducting... well you can get creative with that one (know how to weld? ). Imagine trying to cut into flexible ducting with its spiral ring to keep its stability... not going to happen.

 

[FrankRizzo]

That's kind of what I figured I just wanted check. Just curious if there is going to be any type of intake at all or is the air just going to be sucked through all the cracks?
