$10 DIY High CFM Kit and Clip Fan Hack

[swAmp Hydroponics]

This was made for one of my Vivosun tents so that is the pole/frame size these measurements are based from.
(A Gorilla tent would require all material to be in 1" size, so check your pole size before purchasing materials!)

All materials required for 5'x5' tent listed. Purchased @ local hardware store.
(Will also work for smaller tent sizes.)

8- 1/2" pvc tees
2- 10'x1/2" Schedule 80 pvc pipe. (Dark grey in color. It's sturdier than regular pvc.)

Snap the middle poles of your tent frame apart and slide 2 tee's over each pole. Cut the pipe to length and install. (Only 3 sides pictured)

I use zip ties to hold them in place. You can also hook your Scrog net to them and have a lot more options for placing your clips fans.


Speaking of clip fans...
If they you off sliding around like they do me, while you're @ the hardware store grab a 6' piece of 1/2" Split Pipe Insulation.

Usually by the water heaters.

Cutoff a 3" piece, wrap it around any pole you want, clip your fan on and cry with enjoyment as your fans finally stay in place.


Anyway,
Those are a few tricks I've picked up so far.
Hope they are helpful.

Cool I'm on it!!!

Cool idea. I like it as much for keeping the sides of the tent from sucking in under negative pressure as for hanging fans.

Another little trick I picked up for those fans is to remove the front part of the cover. Air movement is increased and fan noise is reduced.

Maybe you have the Tim Taylor "More Power" specials with titanium blades and a 500hp motor, but the cheap plastic ones I buy are literally incapable of causing damage.

Looks great in here! Fans are such a bother to hang!

Not to hijack but this guy has some cool 3D printed stuff on Insta. I just ordered a pack of fan pole clips very excited!

Thank you, great idea! I already have the extra handling tubes and no way of attaching them horizontally. I never thought of using the 1/2" T's, and the pipe insulation for clipping the fans, another good one. One question I have is.... How do you keep the corner T's from sliding down the pole? Thanks again!

Great idea! Stoner hacks rule!
