Air ventilation and circulation are essential to a healthy indoor harvest. Indoors, fresh air is one of the most overlooked factors contributing to a healthy garden and bountiful harvest.
Covert Inline Fans have all the necessary features to help keep your growing environment the way it's supposed to be. Our Inline Fans move lots of air quickly, quietly and efficiently!
These easy to install fans run very smooth due to a high quality molded impeller and durable ceramic coated metal housing. Thermally protected AC motors on these fans keep the electronic components cool and working the way they ought to be.
Ventilation is a key component in indoor growth! Activated carbon filters are the best way to eliminate most VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), gasses, and odors from the air. Combined with a Covert Inline Fan in a ventilation system, 99.9% of noxious odors can be trapped inside the filter for good.
The size of your grow space dictates the size of the inline fan you should be using, each with its own CFM (Cubic Foot per Minute Rating.) CFM performance is also affected by the path and length of the ducting, even more so when using a carbon filter.

How to hang your Covert Inline Fan
Once you have your Covert Inline Fan, you still need to ensure that it gets set up properly for maximum efficiency.
We've done our best to provide all the learning resources you may require in our Learning Center on how to properly install your Covert Carbon Filter.
This article - Grow Tent Setup Guide - goes over the entire process of setting up your grow tent. At Step 4 & Step 5 in this article we highlight different ventilation setup methods and what we prefer as well as every step required to properly install your filter.
Air-Cooled Lighting
Air-cooled HID light fixtures have
duct flanges you can easily connect
a fan and ducting to. You can see an
example setup in the diagram to the
right. This setup pulls air through the
carbon filter, then through the light
fixture and finally out of the tent.
A great upgrade for air-cooled
lighting is to use a separate in-line
fan just for the lighting ventilation.
This will make both your light
cooling and your carbon filter
work more efficiently.

Closed Loop CO2 Ventilation
When using CO2 producing equipment
inside of a tent, you want to avoid
allowing that CO2 to exhaust from the
tent. Therefore you want a “closed
loop” system which will filter the air
of odors by recirculating the air in
the tent through a fan and filter. It is
recommended to utilize LED or aircooled
lighting to avoid heat buildup in the tent.
Air conditioning is recommended for larger tents
using CO2
Using CO2 for a grow tent is a more advanced technique. If you want to leanrn more about CO2 for growing we have a great article here
CO2 for Grow Tents
These images showcase different combinations of ventilation setups and how it might look in a tent of your own. There are tons of different methods to experiment with in your grow tent to get the most out of your garden every time you grow!
We want you to get the most out of your grow and knowledge is power! It is encouraged to check out this article on Indoor Grow Room & Grow Tent Ventilation Setup Tips. We've compiled all the essential information on ventilation here so that every grow room/tent, big or small, has been properly setup to achieve the best results possible.
