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

Humidity vs airflow? 8 day seedling.
Humidity VS airflow for 8 day old seedling, which is more important? My seedling is in a propagator with 60-65% humidity. Outside the propagator is at around 40%. I'm waiting on my humidifier. I'm going to raise it with a wet towel and containers of water. Should she be in tent?

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?
Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.

Hey guys. I have an air pump and air-stone for a hydroponic set but i decided to use a “smart pot” instead. Would putting the air-stone in the soil or directly under the pot help in any way?

Currently using a 4x8 tent in a garage that is dusty. would getting a extra intake be better for my plants?
Currently using a 200mm inline exhaust with a max cfm of 537,96 and using a intake with a max cfm of 194. currently using the exhaust on medium setting so 466 cfm. would it be better for my plants to get more air from outside with a new but small intake of about 128 cfm ?

Connecting 2 grow tents
I have a 16"x16" small tent next to a 48"x24"x72" tent. With 1 small plant in the small tent, is there anything wrong with ducting the air from the small tent to the bigger tent where my carbon filter is. Seperate intake and exhaust for each tent. Has anyone tried this before?
