New Grower 2 Tents with 1 Fan together possible?

[Cringer]

Hello AfN


I Growing for 3 years in a 60x60x160cm Homebox Tent with 3x 55 watt Cob LEDs. Temps are in my Room most time of the Year 20-22 Celsius in a hot Summer 25 Celsius. In my Grow tent with 3 Cob leds 23-27 Humidity 40-50%.

I want a New Tent for bigger Places and 1 Plant more for more fun with more Weed xD i have to much Seeds for not much place lol so why not a 2 Tent. I want to now can i run the 2 Tent with my 1 Tent together with 1 Air inline Fan? In my thoughts it most work because both tents are Small 60x60x160cm but someone told me in both tents it have different Temps but with my cobs i don't belive that?

Well I suppose you could circulate the air between the two tents using a fan on top and a fan on the bottom and then extract from one of those tents. But at some point you'll be running up against the cost of added extra circulation fans versus doing a separate extraction system.

What about using a "Y" fitting at the fan to make it dual on the suction side, then restrict those pipes down a size to create a venturi which will speed the air up, should be able to keep up on extraction no problem from 2 tents with one exhaust fan?? So start with say an 8" fan, pipes coming out of the tent would be 6" with 6" filters on the end. Mount the fan centered between the tents at equal length, should help keep the suction equal also? And maybe if one tent needs the air slowed down a bit you could cover the filter an appropriate amount with a nonporous material to restrict the flow a bit?

If the fan can move enough air (CFM) that the two spaces combined hold then your good to go, if not it will be lacking.
