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

Justified buyers remorse? Does this brand worth the money they ask, do they deserve all the hypes? What I need is a quiet and mostly reliable fan..

Can I close the door of my closet?
My tent is located in a closet kind of room (5x2 meters) and I was wondering if could close the door during the night because the fan is a bit noisy. Will it fill the room with exhaust air/humidity and damage everything inside (the plant, also the clothes that are in the room)?

Controlling environment in closet with no intake fan?
I'm growing inside my closet, and I'm having trouble controlling temp/humidity. I have an AC Infinity exhaust fan and a cheap amazon fan + wet towel blowing air in from the outside. Are there any cost-effective ways for me to control this? It can get a little warm/dry sometimes

I'm thinking about upgrading my ultra cheap duct fan and carbon filter to this beauty. It has a thermostat controller and is under 250€. It seems to good to be true for this price. Is anyone using it and give me a review?

Setup/air quality
So the air surrounding my grow tent isnt ideal. My mom smokes cigarettes inside at night.. so my question.. will it effect my girl, should i have my exhaust and carbon filter scrubbing the air inside the tent and recirculating it back in? Or leave it setup directing air out?

Question about ventilation
I have a 200cm tall tent with a carbon filter connected to an extracter fan/ duct leaving the top corner of my tent. I have no intake air fan connected, although the walls of the tent are bending inward- should I add an intake fan in the bottom of the tent?

Set Up Tent
How should I set up my carbon filter, exhaust fan & air ducts? I’m in limited space right now but want to make sure I get good air circulation still. I set it up the wrong way the last time I had it up but it was already up so I just left it. Also, my fans. Where should they go ?
