Take dust sleeve off air scrubber. I took my scrubber out for better air flow. Your humidity is way too high in tent. 24/7 air flow needed. It needs to dry out. Will have to be cleaned with vinegar is a plant safe option. Remove plants and clean tent top. Keep grow space clean to keep critters out and disease. Replace plants leave door open till dry, then close again with fan inside going and air exchanger going.

Your light is evaporating and creating alot of humidity or If you have water sitting in the your tent, the ventilation fan should be taking care of this extra condensation. I doubt your carbon filter is stopping moisture. But possibly. You can put your filter on the outside of the tent so you know the fan is pulling the moisture out of the tent. Thats by best answer.

over saturates soil. If the top layer of soil never drys out, the stagnant water can grow algae. Over watering is your issue for purple stems, stress, and poor growth, let it dry out and water very lightly from here on out. Let it dry out every 1 - 2 days

Do you think this is a better position for carbon filter so it can have better airflow or is it more important to scrub air from the top and have 2 90 degree bends?
I'll probably try this in my next grow.
Pic with drying plants is setup from before with 2 90 degree bends.

Grow tent TemperatureI have a 90cmx90cmx60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED Grow Light inside.. How much will an extraction fan and carbon filter bring down the temp inside? In this heatwave my tent is running at 33 deg C, no plants seeded yet. Will the fan be enough or should I get a cooler?Setup. Ventilation

Cooling whilst using humidifier outside a small grow tentI have a small 90x90x60cm grow tent with a VIPARSPECTRA 300W LED. Heat levels are crazy and running a small humidifier with ice blocks inside the tent along side extraction isn’t cutting it. Could I buy a bigger humidifier, keep it outside the tent duct it in to keep it cool?Setup. Ventilation

Using humidistat to control fan, will this cause problems? So far fan running for 30 secs every two minutes! Plz advise if this is not a good idea??My exhaust fan is to powerful no speed control just two settings. On the lowest setting the fan is still sucking all the humidity that my humidifier creates out of the tent. So I have bought a humidity controller hooked it up with the humidifier and fan.. It’s working great!!Setup. Ventilation

Can RH be raised to 100% for short periods of time?My extraction is noisy and the humidity is causing a sore throat at night. Can I switch it off and raise my RH to 95% on a regular basis without stressing the plants?
I have an indoor grow 2"x2" that runs full ventilation. RH rises from 70% to 95% after 30 mins of no venting.
