Should my inline fan run perpetually?

SevenStonedstarted grow question 4y ago

I read it's important to exchange the air in your grow area once per five minutes. Because I read that, I've had my inline exhaust fan running in my tent since the beginning of my grow. Is that right?

Most run 24/7. I personally run mine 15 on 15 off on timer due to keeping temps warmer in grow area. But regularly moving air is needed to exchange new air and control humidity. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

Cardboard box method for dehumidifier Hi 👋 can anyone tell me what success they’ve had using the cardboard box method for housing their dehumidifier? My unit is heating up inside the tent so much as it works harder during flower to keep humidity levels lower. Before I make the switch I wanted some opinions?

RH question! Huge veg phase plants Air humidity increases during night time (up to 90%). I have placed carbon filter below the plants. Question actually is do I need to be too worried if I can get the RH level better within next couple days? It’s first week of 12/12 switch now. :)

Do any body have any experience in making your own carbon filter?Thinking about making one from two steel mesh "ovals" with +-2cm in between. Use some filtration cloth so the carbon don't go through the mesh. And will fill the space between the meshes with activated carbon used for this purpose. Do you think its going to work? Thanks

Best Humidifier for 3x3x2 grow tent and best way to set up?I’m about to buy a dehumidifier. Finding one with programable humidity levels makes them too big 4 my tent & the small ones can’t be programmed to turn off when humidity is too low.

Can I close the door of my closet?My tent is located in a closet kind of room (5x2 meters) and I was wondering if could close the door during the night because the fan is a bit noisy. Will it fill the room with exhaust air/humidity and damage everything inside (the plant, also the clothes that are in the room)?
