I use inkbird controllers for both humidity and temperature. they are currently £63.99 on amazon and automates the temp/humidity environment perfectly for me in a 1.2 x 1.2 x 2m black orchid tent. I am on my 1st grow and weeks in and have had no issues with these controllers. Fans/heater/humidifier's and de-humidifiers all run through the controllers so save a huge amount of messing around and helps in this summer heat for sure! just paste (Inkbird ITC-308 Digital Temperature Controller Heating and Cooling with IHC-200 Humidity Controller Humidifier and Dehumidifier) into amazon for both if needed :) good luck and hope we all have successful and happy grows!

You can get a temperature controller that will need a heating input and a cooling input. Eg. Heater and ac. Ideally you'd want your extraction fan to run constantly. 👍🌱

After all I want that air exchange to always be going to bring in fresh co2. I guess you could timer if your running co2 but if your not I don't see why you would other than to save a bit of power? Save some run time on fan? Happy growing!

FansDo you guys leave all of your fans on all the time? I do but I'm wondering if I should. My best fan is getting hot hot hot however, if I turn it off I'm afraid it'll be too hot in my room or the air will get stag.
What do you do? Rotate fans? Turn em off for a bit each day or?Week 10

Air flow methodI removed the hood from the home AC to run cold air directly into the grow tent with a 4 inch duct at the bottom. I have an inline fan to push hot air out to balance out the air pressure at the top.
Is this a good idea or should I just have a fan inside with no in or out?

Humidity Control TipsWhat is the best way to control night-time humidity? I have my lights-on conditions pretty fuckin' dialed in, but my lights-off time humidity is around 67-68%. My temps are great at lights-off, around 71-73F. I can put a big dehumidifier in, but I don't want to yet. Any thoughts?

Trouble keeping my RH below 65% in grow tent (I water once per 24hrs, 20% runoff)Hello fellow growers!
I am having trouble keeping my RH lower than 65%. Any ideas (without using a dehumidifier)?
For extraction, I have a RAM mixed flow with a passive intake. It seems for the space (0.8mx0.8m), that this is more than enough. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!4 years ago

Tent heat - needs to go down. Tent gets to 30c when closed.I want an air intake or something that can cool down an 80x80x180 tent. I don’t have the option to put anything through a window and the air in the room around the tent is pretty warm, so I don’t know if an intake will help.

Air circulationI just added a ac unit inside the tent. I noticed that when closed its sucking the tent inward. Is this a problem. Or should I take my exhaust fan on the light and make it and I let fan? And how would that work with my filter in flower for smell?Week 3
