One hole in the bottom and one at the top.just prepare for you exhaust, in the mean time heat will exit the top and fresh will enter at the bottom

Overheat in tent? Measuring Correctly?
HID lights on seedlings day 2 (25 cm dist.) I was alarmed by temperatures rising since yesterday to 35 despite exhaust & small fan inside tent. Tent doesn’t feel overly hot. moving sensor to above light it reads at a good 26-27. What’s the best way to understand tent temperature?

Is this clawing, or just droop, (pots fairly dry)And why can’t I get RH below 70% with more than adequate ventilation, I’m recalibrating my hygrometer in the meantime.

Odour control
First indoor grow and is a stealth grow. I’m wondering if complete odour control is possible for one plant. One auto in the tent with a large carbon filter and appropriately size duct fan, walls are sucked in — I also have ona blocks to place around room during flower.

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2
I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it? Thanks all

Can a carbon filter be too "big" for an exhaust duct fan?
Is it fine to use a carbon filter that can handle twice the capacity of the airflow my fan can produce? Or will the fan have trouble ventilating the tent then?

6" c' filter adapted to 4" Cloudline fan?
Has anyone mated a 6" carbon filter to a 4" inline fan? AC Infinity is OUT of 4" filters, so considering getting a 6" and adapting down to 4" intake on AC Infinity Cloudline. Seems intuitive, since reduced intake restriction would be preferable, with increased life as a benefit.

Carbon Filter smaller than Fan
Is it bad if the Fan makes 200m3 but the Carbon Filter is only for 100m3? Do I need to change it as quickly as possible? (Tent 60x60x160)

Ventilation on schedule?
If I put my ventilation on an hour on/hour off schedule to raise the RH (RH when cold is around 30%) and help relieve my heaters a little, will it be detrimental to the environment? I've got heaters on controller, Temp is steady with ventilation on but wil be expensive in winter
