Use my fan as exhaust or intake?
Fruitgroweranswered grow question 5y ago
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

Temp fluctuatesWith the Heater I have(analog setting) fluctuates (needs to drop 6 degrees) before kicking on. So my Lights off temp fluctuates from 67F lowest(about 5min) to peak 74F(<5min) maintaining an average of 70F lights off. Is this too much of a swing?Week 3

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?Setup. Ventilation

High humidity during floweringI 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?Week 9

RH question! Huge veg phase plantsAir humidity increases during night time (up to 90%). I have placed carbon filter below the plants.
Question actually is do I need to be too worried if I can get the RH level better within next couple days? It’s first week of 12/12 switch now. :)5y ago

Best way to cool 5x5 tentTrying 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!Setup. Ventilation

Speed of outgoing TD SilentDo you adjust the ventilator speed over time? I have a TD Silent with 5 possible speeds and keep the lowest speed at night (so I can sleep) and on 3 or 4 during day to be sure. Is there a trick to find the best yet lowest speed?Setup. Ventilation

How do you deal with the humidifier in hydro ?So I bought a dehumidifier as advised but now the room gets hotter (Had to setup an extractor to pull the hot air and now I have no intraction) and during the day EC goes up of 0.1 or even 0.2 (from 1.8 to 1.9 or 2). I suppose there are more nutriments because of dehumidificationWeek 9

Smelly room, with filter should I be able to smell flowering buds?I have a 3x3 grow tent with a 4” fan and filter. The filter is in the tent and exhausts into the room. I taped the filter to the line and line to the fan so no pinhole leaks. The fan is rated for 198 cfm. I have it on low because when it’s high the smell is worse.Setup. Ventilation
