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

Smell through filter exhaust
The smell inside is quite strong and is coming through the filtered exhaust. Is this normal, or does it mean I need to replace my filter soon?

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?

How do I drop my RH down when nothing works? Check Diary. Will defoliation be a good idea? Open tent door and leave it open?
My 2x2 is starting to crowd. This is driving the RH to over 70%. Should I defoliate to help with crowding and RH? Or should I just leave it alone? RH in lung room is 48% Exhaust fan, high or low with a dehumidifier, doesn't work. What should I do? Defoliate? Thanks! Check diary.

Ventilators OFF/ON
Hi, guys. I have one more question today: - My box has three ventilators. One is working in the upper air channel all the time to bring out hot air. Other two staring on my plants. Should I use all three of them? Or one is enough till my babies will grow thick to pervent mould?

High heat in greenhouse, how hot is to hot?
I built a 16x20 greenhouse with dual vents and a 24” exhaust fan. I hit a max of 122 (it’s 92 outside). I typically reach 105-110 on regular days. Everyone looks happy other than an nutrient burn issue. Can weed plants handle this kinda heat?

Best way to cool 5x5 tent
Trying to find a way to cool a 5x5 tent, the ambient temp in the room is a sweltering 100 degrees. Is there some kind of AC unit that hooks directly into an inline duct that I can pump directly into the tent? Looking for an overall solution to temperature control!
