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

Connecting 2 grow tents
I have a 16"x16" small tent next to a 48"x24"x72" tent. With 1 small plant in the small tent, is there anything wrong with ducting the air from the small tent to the bigger tent where my carbon filter is. Seperate intake and exhaust for each tent. Has anyone tried this before?

Risk of bud rot with these conditions?
My tent keeps bouncing between 55-65% throughout the day during mid-late flower stage. Staying between 24-26 C. I have two fans moving air in the tent and the plants are we defoliated. An in-line fan is pulling air out. How much at risk am I for bud rot? Thanks!

Struggle too keep Plants healthy
Hey, I really struggle with the heat. In the night, when my light Mars Hydro FC-E4800 is running currently at slightly less then 25%. My tent already reaches temperatures of 29Celsius. Though to increase the strength of my activated carbon filter, decreases my humidity too much

How to Lower Humidity
The weather outside was really wet and chilly for days here and the humidity is about 60% at this point. Without a duct fan, how can I lower the humidity in the tent? I'm using several small fans right now. I plan to get a duct fan when I can, but I need something until then

Best way to cool your tent/ growbox?
So I’ve built a custom growbox using an IKEA wardrobe, air vent for intake, two circulating fans, carbon extractor exhaust, and a 600W LED grow light. Temps average at 29 degree Celsius with the lights on full, is this too high? Best way to bring the temps down? Many thanks!

How to keep spacebucket cool
Even when lights are off, bucket temperatures can reach upto 40*C rarely seeming to dip below 30, icepacks help lower temp and raise humidity for a bit, i worry the 2 passive intakes i have arent large enough, although the room itself is very warm too, air con only option?

So has anybody used these cordless mini dehumidifiers in their grow rooms? They’re small units that u charge over night every so often when the silica changes colour? My grow room is very small so an electric dehumidifier wouldn’t fit and I’m struggling to keep humidity down

extractor fans
I'm after a new duct fan. Needs to push at least 400m3 per hour. And the main criteria is noise. Below 21dba would be the dream.. curious to what folks use and if I see one that meets my criteria I will buy it.

Justified buyers remorse? Does this brand worth the money they ask, do they deserve all the hypes? What I need is a quiet and mostly reliable fan..

Subterranean fans on 24/7 Y or N?
Was wanting everyone's thoughts on fans on the ground of my tent being on constantly, I want to try an keep airflow as well as make the stems stronger from the movement but always end up getting leaves that get wind damage. Luckily most tends to be where lolipopping will be.
