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

Fans
Do you guys leave all of your fans on all the time? I do but I'm wondering if I should. My best fan is getting hot hot hot however, if I turn it off I'm afraid it'll be too hot in my room or the air will get stag. What do you do? Rotate fans? Turn em off for a bit each day or?

Dehumidifier recommendations
Any recommendations about a dehumidifier for the 4x4 grow tent? I think even with vacuuming run-off more frequently, I won't be able to get humidity consistently down below 60%. Amazon has some in the 45-90 USD range...

Air for small tent?
Just a quick one people, I only have a outlet fan in my tent? My tent is 70x70x160cm if I open the bottom vents on my tent would this be enough air for the flowers at later stages if I open a window in the same room to allow fresh air?

How to deal with high (80% ) humidity during flower without dehumidifiers
First time grower, I'm in W-Europe and will have around 21-27°C, 75-85%RH in my 70x70x160cm tent, Not more humid than air outside it. Getting a dehumidifier isn't an option for me. Any advice on how to still manage through mid to late flower from someone who's in the same boat?

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!
