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

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

AC/humidifier
So I did get a humidifier/AC. Super cheap, $40. It seems to work. I’ve gotten it at 79-82 degrees and 45-50% humidity. I just have to keep filling the water part up every couple hours but I work from home in my room where it’s in my closet

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?

High humidity temporarily
For a few hours yesterday the humidity in my grow space went up to 90%! Should i be on the lookout for any issues? The fan in the tent came loose from the pipe. Thankfully nothing was damaged. Fixed it afterwards.

Mycelium or Fungus - Too much Part 2
I am seeing a ton of mycelium on all of my autopots. Because I have a bottom feed system, it is hard to keep my top medium wet without getting mold. Is this going to effect my end result if I do not do anything about this? Should I leave it alone or put sand on it? Thanks all

Smell problem
I have a small tent from airontek, not the best in quality with a carbon filter and extractor inside the box, but the smell outside is too strong. When using carbon filter do i have to expect to have (almost) no smell or maybe Im doing some mistakes? The smell is very strong

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?

Hey guys. I have an air pump and air-stone for a hydroponic set but i decided to use a “smart pot” instead. Would putting the air-stone in the soil or directly under the pot help in any way?
