If you have a tent with adequate ventilation then you can go without a oscillation fan if you have a smaller tent and no room for one. If you have say a 400 cfm (typical 6 inch exhaust fan) fan pulling full force in a 4x4x6 tent that’s only 96cf you will be clearing the air roughly 4 times a min. That is a lot of air movement and more then enough. I would recommend getting a smaller clip fan or 2 just to push the heat away between your canopy and lights though, if you have the means. But if your stuck for space or just don’t have a fan or funds for one then you will be perfectly fine as long as you have adequate air flow from your exhaust fan. Hope this helps! Cheers 💨

Unless you want to fight the dreaded bud rot YES 😀
Seriously nothing wrong with good air movement, plants love it. Helps to strengthen them up. Thicker, stronger stems are good for supporting buds.
You might be able to get away with not having a fan in veg (might), but come flower you won't want still, stagnant air around your buds.

How do I know my filter is still running ok? can it wear off in just a month?I have a vulcan carbon filter for a tiny tent. It runs 24hrs a day for the last month. Now, the smell coming out of it is not neutral anymore (not strong cannabis), but it is a bit heavy and I'm getting paranoid. How do I know my filter still runs fine? High umidity is a factor?Setup.

How do you deal with the humidifier in hydro ?So I bought a dehumidifier as advised but now the room gets hotter (Had to setup an extractor to pull the hot air and now I have no intraction) and during the day EC goes up of 0.1 or even 0.2 (from 1.8 to 1.9 or 2). I suppose there are more nutriments because of dehumidification

Air-Intake / Equipment question.Ok, so i bought a air outtake system for my grow tent with a active carbon filter so my whole house doesn't smell like weed as it does now. My question is can i just install my air outtake in there and close the tent without having a air intake ? Or will that cause Problems ?
