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

Dehumidification
When the outdoor air dehumidification fan runs it produces a periotic negative pressure in the grow room. What is preferred: a negative or positive pressure in a grow room for this method of dehumidification?

Ventilation set up
I just got my first grow tent- a Vivosun 32x32x64 and a Vivosun 4” fan and carbon filter combo. It came with directions for the tent- but nothing on the ventilation system. What’s best as far as set up? Any tips, recommendations, or photos.? Does it need to vent outside?

Air circulation
I just added a ac unit inside the tent. I noticed that when closed its sucking the tent inward. Is this a problem. Or should I take my exhaust fan on the light and make it and I let fan? And how would that work with my filter in flower for smell?

Odour control
First indoor grow and is a stealth grow. I’m wondering if complete odour control is possible for one plant. One auto in the tent with a large carbon filter and appropriately size duct fan, walls are sucked in — I also have ona blocks to place around room during flower.

Hi guys, I have ordered an inline fan and carbon filter with temp and humidity controller by spiderfarm. Will I still need the normal fans or does this replace the need for them? Thanks guys

Grow tent climate control
Im looking for a product that will control the temperature inside my tent automatically. Something that I can plug a heater and ac into and it will turn them on and off to keep the temperature optimal. Im also looking for a product to do the same thing with humidity. Suggestions?

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!

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

Grow tent Temperature
I have a 90cmx90cmx60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED Grow Light inside.. How much will an extraction fan and carbon filter bring down the temp inside? In this heatwave my tent is running at 33 deg C, no plants seeded yet. Will the fan be enough or should I get a cooler?
