Hey gromies, should the extraction fan be running 24/7 in my grow tent or can I do 30 minutes off and on?

24/7 - You need that refresh of air, especially co2, which the plants need more of.
It keeps things cooler, and reduces chances of mold, when you are in flower.

Fresh air in and stale out always is the best. If you want it for heat control then you can hook it to a temperature switch and set the degrees and away you go.

If the smell and humidity / heat are not an issue you should have no problems doing this. I'd say run a test before setting and forgetting. Make sure everything stays in acceptable range! Cheers and happy growing!

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

Low humidity issueTents 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.

HeatI’m thinking of putting a 12” fan up high to move the air to one space and an extractor to take out the air and a second cooler as I got up to 30c on a day of 15c so need some measures! Question is will it work? Don’t want to waste time on pointless things!Week 2

Won't Oscillate AnymoreI was wondering what type of oscillating fans that everyone uses in small grow tents. I have been using the Vivosun fans and since they won't last I'm looking for alternatives. In case it matters I'm growing in a 27x27x63 MarsHydro tent.

Ventilation set upI just got my first grow tent- a Vivosun 32x32x64 and a Vivosun 4” fan and carbon filter combo. It came with directions for the tent- but nothing on the ventilation system. What’s best as far as set up? Any tips, recommendations, or photos.? Does it need to vent outside?Setup. Ventilation
