You must be able to exchange the air un the room. Getting rid of intake and exhaust system is a no no. Happy growing.

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

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!

Intake Fans / Opening Lower Air Ducts or Back Flap?
I'm researching intake fans and/or opening lower ducts to pull air in. I never worried about intake in the past, I just made sure my fan up top was sucking air out of the tent to create negative pressure. Thoughts on intake fans or having the back flap of the tent open? Thanks!

Maintaining VPD
I've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

Cooling whilst using humidifier outside a small grow tent
I have a small 90x90x60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED. Heat levels are crazy and running a small humidifier with ice blocks inside the tent along side extraction isn’t cutting it. Could I buy a bigger humidifier, keep it outside the tent duct it in to keep it cool?

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?
