A great read, thanks redgreenery. Very thorough and this thread made me realize how vital airflow is, and how at least 80% of the growers out there are doing it all wrong. I went out and bought an Anemometer, Manometer and Psychromter to test my room and the Anemometer really showed me some numbers that were frightening. I re did some duct work and a 60% increase in performance so far.
I have a question regarding Manometer use in the garden though. At what point in your duct work do you want to place the static pressure probes attached to the Manometer?
I've got mine set to "Inches H20" and i'm not sure if one probe should go right where the air comes into the room and the other probe inside the exhaust of the fan?
I want to test the static pressure of my air conditioner box as well, which has a 400 CFM fan pulling its hot air out of the room. I'm wondering how i'd "probe" the a/c as well, at what points..
I did some googling and some youtubing and not much data out there as applied to our glorious hobby, mainly multi ton HVAC demos.
Any help from anyone on Manometer use in the garden would be awesome, thanks!
