Hi !
Dit mag zeker, luchtcirculatie is belangrijk.
Richt de ventilator niet op je plant maar erboven.
Het is niet de bedoeling dat je kleintjes een storm doorstaan😛
Kies daarom voor een kleine ventilator die een zachte wind geeft.
Succes met groeien!🌱

You should be using your air system immediately. Needed to help maintain fresh air and control humidity and temperature. Good luck and happy growing 🌲🌲🌲👊

Ventilation set upI just got my first grow tent- a Vivosun 32x32x64 and a Vivosun 4” fan and carbon filter combo. It came with directions for the tent- but nothing on the ventilation system. What’s best as far as set up? Any tips, recommendations, or photos.? Does it need to vent outside?Setup. Ventilation

Won't Oscillate AnymoreI was wondering what type of oscillating fans that everyone uses in small grow tents. I have been using the Vivosun fans and since they won't last I'm looking for alternatives. In case it matters I'm growing in a 27x27x63 MarsHydro tent.Setup. Ventilation

Air flow methodI removed the hood from the home AC to run cold air directly into the grow tent with a 4 inch duct at the bottom. I have an inline fan to push hot air out to balance out the air pressure at the top.
Is this a good idea or should I just have a fan inside with no in or out?Week 4
