I use to grow my plant in a 60cm × 60cm
I had a very low budget to start the cultivation and I plan to buy a fan asap
Meanwhile I would know what is the best option to ventilate my plants ? Thanks for your responses :)

Setup/air qualitySo the air surrounding my grow tent isnt ideal. My mom smokes cigarettes inside at night.. so my question.. will it effect my girl, should i have my exhaust and carbon filter scrubbing the air inside the tent and recirculating it back in? Or leave it setup directing air out?Week 2

Best way to cool your tent/ growbox?So I’ve built a custom growbox using an IKEA wardrobe, air vent for intake, two circulating fans, carbon extractor exhaust, and a 600W LED grow light. Temps average at 29 degree Celsius with the lights on full, is this too high? Best way to bring the temps down? Many thanks!Setup. Ventilation

Can RH be raised to 100% for short periods of time?My extraction is noisy and the humidity is causing a sore throat at night. Can I switch it off and raise my RH to 95% on a regular basis without stressing the plants?
I have an indoor grow 2"x2" that runs full ventilation. RH rises from 70% to 95% after 30 mins of no venting.Week 6

How can I reduce the heat in my 5x5 tent (650w light bar/6" ac Infinity and a ton of fans) without AC? Do I have to leave tent open?5x5 tent is in a kind of lung room (utility room) that stays around 20C/68F. The tent always seems to be at 30C86F with lights on. Ive added and moved fans, opened more intake vents. I have AC, but its -25C/-13F outside. Id like to drop the daytime temp 5ish degrees for flower.Setup. Lighting

Humidity won't go down because of clay pebbles ?Though my extractor is at high speed, I have a hard time with controlling humidity, I hardly go under 68%, specially during the night. Probably it's the clay pebbles since the pots don't have a lid. I placed the temp/humidity probe near the tallest leaves. what do you think ?4y ago

RH too low in indoor grow. Solutions?I'm having a issue with my grow - RH won't go above 20%.
With a humidifier inside, full power. Temperatures are between 21 and 25c and I can only think the air extractor is taking too much air out of the grow, as in the night, with lights and fan off RH rise to +80%. Any ideas?Week 3

Best way to keep a tent in the loft coolCooling the loft... so I've got my tent in the loft, I have a 4" inline extracting from the tent and a 6" inline feeding air into the loft. This works perfectly the majority of the time.. I can keep things at 25°c with ease. But on hot days the tents gets too hot....Setup. Ventilation
