Old Reviews Quiet filter for shed grow?

[Sctanley007]

I have a Cloudline T6 and it’s extremely quiet even at 4 or 5. Auto man is correct about smell being a bigger give away. There are some strains I can’t grow due to the smell being a natural alarm even with a filter.

I also have a Cloudline. I used a "T" and attached two filters instead of one so it runs with less restriction and is very quiet. They also make inline silencers which I have not used so I cannot comment on their efficiency.

You can get a silencer for the other outlet on the fan, they look similar to the carbon filter.
To keep noise down I went for a 6'' instead of a 4'' AC Infinity Fan and just run it on a lower setting, I have it in my tent in my bedroom and it doesn't bother me at all.

I'd suggest that smell is gonna be your biggest challenge to keep stealthy.
I too sometime grow any spill-over plants in a detached shed...I have neighbors but nature's sounds cover most if not all of any noise from lights/fans etc but the smell is a big tell.....A fruitful plant will announce itself.

Thanks man, I'm moving into a property soon and instantly thought I'd be able to grow in here. I've attached some photos see if you think its too suspicious. Now I look at it it seems way to close to other gardens

Thanks mate, this will be my grow space I don't know if its going to be too close to neighbours garden to make it work. I've grown in a bedroom back in the day didn't think smell was much of an issue until I opened to tent@

That's a large grow area and to make use of it, you're gonna have a lot of activity which may be suspicious to those who have any sort of view and that kind of attention is ....well you know.
Smell may become far second to eyeball issues.

Is that a repurposed shipping container?

Too many close neighbors for my liking, and i grow in a detached 10x20 in two tents exhausting outside. I have neighbors on 3 sides, and acres of woods closest to growage. I swap in new filters every fall, and still get some smell with louder strains. I only have one of those neighbors i worry about though.. the rest benefit from my grow... and iv been here 35 years.

The mention of activity prior is also a major concern, you'll draw attention if constantly in and out checking grow, temps and humidity etc. People are curious, espescially of new neighbors.

I would consider a grow in the house, or research a sealed room grow... but then AC could become an issue in warmer months.

If you decide to risk it anyway, i'd look at exhausting through the floor and stay on top of filters.

Ah shit yeh I don't really like the fact its pretty much right next to other back gardens, I thought maybe if I spent enough on a decent fan and filter I might keep the noise and smell levels down. I'm not sure if its a repurposed container. Seems pretty sturdy and seal proofed though.

It seems pretty big, I wasn't going to use the whole space though, the plan was to put a tent in there. Maybe a 1.2x1.2m tent which I've already got. Its the noise levels of fans I was concerned about. Didnt think much of smell if I paid for a decent fan and filter. 2 if needed.
