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

Ventilation question
Is it possible for me to take down the walls of my tent and leave the frame with the lights on it to let the plants get more space? I don’t have a way to ventilate the entire closet from an external source, just been ventilating the tent w/ an exhaust fan and carbon filter

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?
Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? Thanks

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?

Extraction fan running
I have a Ambient Q60 tent... When I cover up the air intake holes during light off hours and want to leave the extraction fan running, the air from the whole tent looks like its being sucked out. There's no room for air to get it. Am I doing something wrong?
