I see there is a bit of slack and unnecessary length in your ducting. Ive always read that every 90degree bend in your ducting will reduce airflow by 5-25% depending on radius and it grows exponentially with multiple bends in short lengths.Morning peeps, I hope the morning is unfolding as you like. I have updated my blog on my cannatrol replacement - bottom line is that it works perfectly so far with a pound or so wet bud in it, and it seems as though it will function fine with the entire load from my 4x4 as it becomes ready. I will update with finished product later, but so far, the thing works exactly as designed.![]()
I agree with your suggestion, but my extraction fan moves the RH down in less than 3 seconds, so the extraction setup so far is overkill even with the ducting loss. In fact, I had to restrict the input opening to less than 10% in order to make the RH reduction this slow.I see there is a bit of slack and unnecessary length in your ducting.

Thats rad, your setup looks awesome and if it works it works, but if you ever need your fans to be more efficient, you know how now! I also usually go with overkill on exhaust fans and just dial them down, that way i know ill always have enough power lol.

I think the overkill extract setup will be, if not completely necessary, at least handy once the unit gets hit with a couple pounds of wet bud at a time. Even with only about a pound of wet bud, the extract fan was initially turning on every 8 seconds or so to bump the humidity down. With a lot bigger load, it will need even more extraction, but given that the RH is reduced so easily now, I doubt that the extract fan will ever be needed to stay on for very long each cycle.
Anyway, thanks for your observation, I am always interested in design ideas that might be helpful.![]()
