Best option to ventilate without a fan
Sam_The_Herboriststarted grow question 6y ago
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 :)

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

Controlling environment in closet with no intake fan?I'm growing inside my closet, and I'm having trouble controlling temp/humidity. I have an AC Infinity exhaust fan and a cheap amazon fan + wet towel blowing air in from the outside. Are there any cost-effective ways for me to control this?

High RH in flowerI 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 solutionWeek 14

Ventilators OFF/ONHi, guys.
I have one more question today:
- My box has three ventilators. One is working in the upper air channel all the time to bring out hot air. Other two staring on my plants.
Should I use all three of them?
Or one is enough till my babies will grow thick to pervent mould?Week 1

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.2y ago

Do you think this is a better position for carbon filter so it can have better airflow or is it more important to scrub air from the top and have 2 90 degree bends?
I'll probably try this in my next grow.
Pic with drying plants is setup from before with 2 90 degree bends.Week 11

Best Humidifier for 3x3x2 grow tent and best way to set up?I’m about to buy a dehumidifier. Finding one with programable humidity levels makes them too big 4 my tent & the small ones can’t be programmed to turn off when humidity is too low. Can I get a cheap one with no controls and manage humidity with my Humidistat alone? Will it work?Setup. Ventilation

Additional environment controlOptions for extra humidity and temperature control. Continuous drain not a problem. My Rh can stay in the 80% range for weeks. Attempting to control a 10x10. Would a small window Ac remove enough humidity (easiest)? Portable AC/Dehumidifier? Stand-alone dehumidifier? Suggestions?Setup. Ventilation

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!Setup. Ventilation
