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

Humidité
Humidity varies quite a bit and I invested in a humidifier but it doesn't solve the issue. I have 2 fans and two passive intakes, but I think I have too many plants and I'm in a basement. Thank you very much, humidity is not good for flowering.

Can RH be raised to 100% for short periods of time?
My extraction is noisy and the humidity is causing a sore throat at night. Can I switch it off and raise my RH to 95% on a regular basis without stressing the plants? I have an indoor grow 2"x2" that runs full ventilation. RH rises from 70% to 95% after 30 mins of no venting.

Fan vs Fanless LEDs
How effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soon

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 dehumidification

Is it a fire hazard if 5v computer fan is jammed and the power is on for 2-3 weeks? I'm far away from home and I have camera in my growbox. A tape has fallen to the fan and it is not rotating. Can it heat up so much that fire starts? Should I drive 1600km for that?
