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

ventilation for a 4x8 ? basically is that too much negative pressure and if so should I get anther intake ?
currently using a 200mm inline exhaust fan that has 914 m3/h(537,9 cfm) max currently using it at its medium setting of 792 m3/h(466,15 cfm) and using a 125 mm inline intake fan with only 330 m3/h (194,23 cfm). Should I get anther intake fan or should I put the exhaust to low 680

Carbon Filter
Hello growers! I'm thinking of removing carbon filter's outter fabric. It affects my exhaust dramatically. Does anyone knows if this is going to make it insufficient or ruin it? (i think that this layer prevents humidity entering carbon particles)

High humidity during flowering
I don't have an exhaust fan since this is my first growth and I'm quite on a budget my humidity averages around 65-75% I know high humidity increases risk of mould and bud rot is it necessary to get an exhaust fan and aiming for 40-50% or just risking the consequences?

Anyone tried a plasma filter instead of a carbon filter?
Supposedly superior odor elimination over carbon filters Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwiNUkjL1Dk As you can see they resemble carbon filters (they're part carbon filter actually). The only question is...can they run 24 hours a day for 3 weeks? Anyone tried them?

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.

Setup/air quality
So the air surrounding my grow tent isnt ideal. My mom smokes cigarettes inside at night.. so my question.. will it effect my girl, should i have my exhaust and carbon filter scrubbing the air inside the tent and recirculating it back in? Or leave it setup directing air out?

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?
