Grow Room Fan & filter outside the tent

[Bob's Auto's]

Damn, just received that filter...This is a BIG filter you guys!! It's about four times as big as my current filter!!
Luckily I've still got the flexible hose that came with the Mars Hydro kit as I'm gonna have to do some serious MacGyvering to get that to fit.

Hey friends and onlookers


Today was the day...Mounted the entire thing and to do that I first needed to take everything down...
Anyway, the filter...Since this mf'er is so big the only way I could mount it was against the wall next to the tent, with the fan just above it.

The flexible hose is fixed with some of them tightening rings. On the tent's side I put a metal flange inside the hose and clamped everyting from the outside with a tightening ring. This isn't going anywhere

Down below I used the flexible hose that came with the @Marshydro kit I got a few years ago.

Snipped it to fit and connected both sides with a tightening ring.

Next, we mount the fan itself inside it's holder, double checking if the direction is ok
For those of you Mars Hydro groupie's out there, yes...On the flange of the fan, the direction is pointing upwards, but I did that on purpose. Where the fan connects to the filter, I used three screws to get a good mechanical fit. I did this in the past and wanted to reuse the holes I made then.

Loads more space in there, right?
On the upper right side you can still see the flange I used to keep everything nice and thight up there
Also managed to get the AFN sticker peeled off without issues and rotated it 180°

Just one thing to do and that is installing my custom fitted bottom plate.

A....n.....d.....we are done...
Took me quite a while to get started, hehe and then the rest of the day to install and give everything a guuud clean-up
My back is killing me, but satisfaction supersedes this feeling...that and half a dose of Clonazepam and the foresight of a nice joint I've rolled up for when I'm done posting this thread.


Regards,

Bob

Yeah she is. I think I'm good for the coming years...
The tray =60x60cm. Have to look it up where I got it though...

It's a Garland 60x60cm tray. You'll probably find one in your neighborhood? Might have to convert to foot, but that should be 2x2' so...
