Temp fluctuates
With the Heater I have(analog setting) fluctuates (needs to drop 6 degrees) before kicking on. So my Lights off temp fluctuates from 67F lowest(about 5min) to peak 74F(<5min) maintaining an average of 70F lights off. Is this too much of a swing?

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?

Help with airflow. I've got an extractor and 3 circulating fans. Would a powerful inline fan be better than the 3 circulating fans
Question about environment here. I've got a 5x5 tent. Total 46m area. 460m3/hr needed to be extracted. Extractor fan is capable of taking 600m3/hr. I did have in an inline fan but it's no longer working. Do I need another inline fan ?? I've opened two ports for passive intake

Low humidity issue
Tents 20'' × 30''. Using a vivosun 6'' inline fan to exhaust with passive intake to create negative pressure. I have a good humidifier but even on full the rh doesnt go above 40%. Not unless the room the tent vents into becomes super humid as well.

Carbon filter sleeve needed?
I use the carbon filter on the exhaust side. On the intake side, I have a dust screen mesh. The tent is quite clean so that’s why I don’t see the need of the pre filter. Would also probably load the inline fan a bit too. What’s you thought?

AC/humidifier
So I did get a humidifier/AC. Super cheap, $40. It seems to work. I’ve gotten it at 79-82 degrees and 45-50% humidity. I just have to keep filling the water part up every couple hours but I work from home in my room where it’s in my closet

is this dehumidifier bad?
Hello! I'm just wondering if this sort of dehumidifier is somehow harmful to our plants. The fact it has a tablet and that it claims to remove 70% of smell let me suspicious.

Air for small tent?
Just a quick one people, I only have a outlet fan in my tent? My tent is 70x70x160cm if I open the bottom vents on my tent would this be enough air for the flowers at later stages if I open a window in the same room to allow fresh air?

High RH in flower
I find it really hard to keep the RH below 50%, especially at night when temps are low. I have a dehumidifier in the room where my tent is in but even when it's below 50% there, it still is above 50% in the tent itself. Can somebody explain this? Probably help me with a solution

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.

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!
