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

grow tent / lung room temps???
Dialling in my tent and want to compare to others to see if more ventilation = lower temps. What temperature and humidity difference do you have in your tent and "lung room"? Do you exhaust your air from the tent to the outside of your lung room?

Ventilation on schedule?
If I put my ventilation on an hour on/hour off schedule to raise the RH (RH when cold is around 30%) and help relieve my heaters a little, will it be detrimental to the environment? I've got heaters on controller, Temp is steady with ventilation on but wil be expensive in winter

6" c' filter adapted to 4" Cloudline fan?
Has anyone mated a 6" carbon filter to a 4" inline fan? AC Infinity is OUT of 4" filters, so considering getting a 6" and adapting down to 4" intake on AC Infinity Cloudline. Seems intuitive, since reduced intake restriction would be preferable, with increased life as a benefit.

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.

Can a carbon filter be too "big" for an exhaust duct fan?
Is it fine to use a carbon filter that can handle twice the capacity of the airflow my fan can produce? Or will the fan have trouble ventilating the tent then?

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

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?
I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work? Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter? Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

How to reduce humidity in my grow space?
I'm just an amateur and am growing in my closet as I have very limited space. It's a small space in which I can't cut holes or openings. I use a small fan and a air purifier. Should I get more fans? Does a carbon filter or inline duct help if it can't exit out of the closet?

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?

Subterranean fans on 24/7 Y or N?
Was wanting everyone's thoughts on fans on the ground of my tent being on constantly, I want to try an keep airflow as well as make the stems stronger from the movement but always end up getting leaves that get wind damage. Luckily most tends to be where lolipopping will be.
