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

tent pressure
i have a positive pressure in both tents because i have an AC plugged on my intake to manage the temperature inside the tent easier. Can it be a problem for my grow?

Growtent Humidity control
How do you control humidity/temp when using a grow tent? is it enough to put a dehumidifier in the same room as the tent and close the tent and just blow the air outside with a fan and tubing? Do u need an intake fan too? Or does the "good air" gets sucked in enough without ? THX

Connecting intake fan to my tent's mesh for most efficient ventilation
So as a couple people suggested, I bought an intake fan, and am using it to bring air in from a different section of my closet. How can I stick the ducting to my tent's mesh? Is tape fine? Any other ventilation tips?😉😀

Is high humidity at night bad for cannabis?
During day, I can maintain the grow room temperature to 75-77'F and humidity 55-65%. But at night, temperature raised up to 77-80'F and humidity up to 70-80% because I closed vents and air condition. Could this effect my plants in long term? Should I open vents at night also?

Humedad dentro del cultivo
La humedad está llegando dentro de mi cultivo al 80% y hasta el 90%, he comprado un reductor de humedad que venden en el supermercado de estos que reducen la humedad y llevan unas piedras adentro. Esto le hará daño a las plantas??

it's getting too hot. I added 2 fans inside. Do you think I can enable them 100% of the time/all day? Or is it bad for my plants?

New Light? Find a way to raise light? More Fans? Combination? (Light: 44" above ground level | Tent Height: 63" Day avg: 78.6f) Should i worry?
What do you guys recommend as far as lighting for this tent? I have a 300w led light but at the height it's currently at it is producing a large amount of heat with my exhaust and two oscillating fans? I also have other plants in with my seedling so could the humidity cause it?

So has anybody used these cordless mini dehumidifiers in their grow rooms? They’re small units that u charge over night every so often when the silica changes colour? My grow room is very small so an electric dehumidifier wouldn’t fit and I’m struggling to keep humidity down

High humidity during flowering
I don't have an exhaust fan since this is my first growth and I'm quite on a budget my humidity averages around 65-75% I know high humidity increases risk of mould and bud rot is it necessary to get an exhaust fan and aiming for 40-50% or just risking the consequences?

Carbon filter effectiveness at harvest
Hey everyone, just wondering if carbon filters actually get rid of 100% of the smell from the harvest point while drying? I can’t smell anything outside the tent at the moment but my plants haven’t all bloomed fully and I need to be prepared, can’t have the neighbours smelling!
