Tubular Extractor VK Ø 150 mm (495 m3/h) – Efficient Climate Control

The Tubular Extractor VK Ø 150 mm (495 m3/h) is the lung your indoor grow needs to breathe properly, ensuring constant air renewal to keep your plants healthy and vigorous. Designed for growers who seek efficiency without complications, this device guarantees that your crop receives the oxygen it needs while expelling excess heat and humidity.

Is your grow tent becoming a sauna for your plants?

We've all been there: you open the zipper of your grow tent and a wave of hot, heavy, and stale air hits your face. If you feel overwhelmed by that atmosphere, imagine how your plants feel. Poor ventilation is the silent killer of indoor crops; it creates pockets of humidity that invite fungi and prevents your plants from breathing, stalling their development.

Continuing with a mediocre ventilation system is playing Russian roulette with your harvest. Heat stress burns terpenes, reducing the aroma and potency of your buds, while a lack of CO2 renewal results in weak, spindly plants. Basically, you are spending money on electricity and nutrients to get a low-quality result that doesn't reflect your effort.

The solution is simpler than you think. By installing the Tubular Extractor VK Ø 150 mm, you instantly transform that suffocating environment into a fresh and dynamic ecosystem. Its capacity to move 495 m3/h ensures that the air is renewed fast enough to maintain optimal parameters, allowing your plants to focus on what matters most: fattening up and producing resin.

What it feels like to grow with the VK 150

When you have this extractor running, the first thing you notice is peace of mind. You stop obsessively checking the thermometer every ten minutes because you know the hot air is being actively evacuated. It gives you that "pro" feeling of having total control over the climate, which is the pillar of any successful harvest.

Physically, your plants respond almost immediately. You'll see leaves reaching up (praying) thanks to the correct transpiration and fresh CO2 availability. It's not just about temperature; it's about creating a flow where the air feels light and crisp. Plus, its robust plastic housing dampens vibrations, so while it works hard, it doesn't turn your room into a factory floor.

How to squeeze the experience to the max

To get the best performance out of your 495 m3/h flow rate, you need to set it up smartly. Here are some tips to optimize its efficiency:

• Calculate your space: This model is ideal for grow tents ranging from 1.20x1.20m to 1.50x1.50m.
• Reduce friction: Keep the ducting as straight as possible. Every bend reduces the airflow capacity.
• Pair it right: If you are in the flowering stage, connect it to a carbon filter to act as an effective odor eliminator for weed. Make sure the filter matches the 150mm diameter and flow rate.
• Check the seals: Use metal clamps or duct tape to ensure there are no leaks at the connections.
• Maintenance: Clean the blades after every harvest. Dust buildup adds weight and noise, reducing the motor's lifespan.

Advantages and benefits in your day-to-day life

• High-strength plastic body: Unlike metal ones, it doesn't rust in high humidity environments, ensuring a long service life.
• 495 m3/h Power: You get rapid air exchange, preventing heat pockets even with HPS lighting.
• Versatility: You can use it as a main extractor or as a powerful intake fan for larger rooms.
• Easy installation: Its light weight allows you to hang it easily with simple pulleys or straps without fear of it falling.
• Cost-effective efficiency: It offers professional performance without the price tag of industrial turbines, saving you budget for better genetics or nutrients.

How it fits with other products in your set-up

The Tubular Extractor VK Ø 150 mm is the heart of your Air Extraction System. It works perfectly in synergy with 150mm flexible aluminum tubes (Aluconnect) or soundproof tubes (Sonoconnect) if you want to reduce noise further. If you are using Cooltube reflectors to cool your bulbs, this extractor is powerful enough to push air through the lamp circuit and out of the room, keeping your temperature perfectly stable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it come with a cable and plug?

Like most professional extractors, it usually comes without a cable so you can adapt the length to your needs. You will need a basic power cable and a plug to connect it.

Is it very noisy?

It has a moderate noise level (around 46 dBA). It is not silent, but it is much quieter than cheaper axial fans. If you sleep in the same room, we recommend using soundproof ducting or a dimmer controller.

Can I leave it on 24 hours a day?

Absolutely. In fact, it is recommended to keep it running continuously during the light cycle to remove heat, and at least at minimum power during the dark cycle to control humidity and prevent mold.

Is this model suitable for a 60x60cm tent?

It might be too powerful for such a small space, creating a vacuum effect that sucks the tent walls in too much. For small spaces, a 100mm or 125mm model is usually better, unless you use a controller to lower the speed.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I've used the VK line for years in my battle tents—the ones I set up quickly to test new genetics. The 150mm model is a sweet spot for me. It's powerful enough to handle a 600W HPS light without the temperature spiking, but it doesn't cost a fortune.

One thing I've learned: don't skimp on the installation. Hang it with rubber bungees instead of rigid chains. The vibration isolation makes a huge difference in the hum you hear outside the room. If you treat it well and keep it clean, this extractor is a workhorse that will last you many, many harvests.
