Exhaust always necessary, intake for a small amount of plants is enough just opening the door daily...

If door open than Intake. Becouse the breeze will move plants and they will become stronger. Thicker main steam

6" Fan in 3x3 Tent
I bought a 6" fan for a 3x3 Vivosun tent and I'm noticing a good mount of negative pressure even at the lowest setting. Do I need to get a 4" fan? There are some vents on bottom sides of the tent. Can I use those to lessen the pressure? Thanks!

Should my inline fan run perpetually?
I read it's important to exchange the air in your grow area once per five minutes. Because I read that, I've had my inline exhaust fan running in my tent since the beginning of my grow. Is that right?

couple quick questions
Do I need to close the flap to the vent during dark cycles? (Lights off during the day) and should I block lights coming from fan power, humidifier, dehumidifier, or indicator lights? Also do I need to use the carbon filter the whole time? should I ever have the exaust fan off?

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.

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?

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?

Hey Ho, so far I've been using my 2 small fans at the entrance and the exhaust in the middle. Since there's no air reaching the back and the circulation takes quite a while (smoke lingers for about 1 minute until it's ventilated), I wanted to ask which fan I should install there?
