HEPA filter for tent chamber?
    #23509975 - 08/04/16 03:43 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

Hey everyone, it's been a few years but I'm back with a question. Using a 4'x4x'6.5' grow tent as a fruiting room. Shelves with fruiting trays, some small PC circulating fans, and a cool mist humidifier. I have some inline fans for the tent which are 4" and 6". I want to buy a cartridge style HEPA filter to put on one of the fans, to blow fresh air into the tent at a slow speed and generate clean positive air pressure to help keep contaminates out. The tent is in a furnished basement which, while clean, is where most of the mold and mildew in the house is going to be.

If anyone uses a similar setup and has good success can you respond and let me know what you use? Or if someone has a better idea of how to keep the inside of the tent at the proper conditions without breeding contaminates  feel free to lend your advice. The basement is usually at about 75F and 36% rH this time of year, and the room is heated by floorboard radiators in the winter.

Slainte.

Fruiting is not a sterile process.  If you're gonna blow money on a HEPA why not make a flow hood or something instead?

I totally agree with your logic. The reason I wanted a HEPA filter providing positive pressure is I'm afraid of contamination running rampant from Shelf to Shelf too quickly if I don't have a way of keeping the overall rate of infection down in the first place. Is this really not as big of a deal as I'm thinking? If a tray gets infected after a couple flushes and I notice it within a day or two can I get it out of there and expect the rest of my trays to keep healthy?

I've found what appear to be 0.3 micron, 99.9% air filters that they make for grow lights for about $75, but I'm skeptical of their quality/claims.
