I run one that blows over the top of the soil and another over the canopy. Don't see an issue with what you're doing

Best way to cool your tent/ growbox?So I’ve built a custom growbox using an IKEA wardrobe, air vent for intake, two circulating fans, carbon extractor exhaust, and a 600W LED grow light. Temps average at 29 degree Celsius with the lights on full, is this too high? Best way to bring the temps down? Many thanks!Setup. Ventilation

High RH in flowerI find it really hard to keep the RH below 50%, especially at night when temps are low. I have a dehumidifier in the room where my tent is in but even when it's below 50% there, it still is above 50% in the tent itself. Can somebody explain this? Probably help me with a solutionWeek 14

Slowing a two speed inline fanCan I run a fan speed controller with a dual speed inline fan? My 4” two speed fan is slightly too powerful for my grow room. I’d like to slow the fan slightly but I have heard the these types of controllers don’t work with two speed fans? Any advice or what to buy to do the job?Setup. Ventilation

VentilationI just have one plant under a small grow tent. But I haven't set up a ventilation system that looks a bit complicated to me to install. Is it possible to function without if I open the grow tent wildly once or twice a day to change the air ? Or will I be in trouble ?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

Brauche ich unbedingt einen (Schwenk-) Lüfter in meiner Growbox?Habt ihr schon mal ohne (Schwenk-) Ventilator in der Growbox angebaut? Wenn ja, welche Erfahrung habt ihr dabei gemacht? Ich möchte nur ungern einen Ventilator einsetzen, weil das vermutlich die Lautstärke der Box deutlich erhöht. Schon mal vielen Dank für eure Erfahrungen.Setup. Ventilation

Fan vs Fanless LEDsHow effective are heatsink LEDs? I'm not sure if I should go with fanless (like Mars Hydro SP150) or with a fan (Mars Pro II Epistar 120). I struggle with heat, when the tent is closed it gets to 29-30 degrees with humidifier in full swing (HID lights) and I want to close it soonSetup. Lighting

Temperature Probe. Where to place it?I use a Vivosun exhaust and control hub. It comes with the temperature and humidity probe. I am curious, based on experienced growers here, where do I place this probe? On the floor or do I let it hang mid-way in the the plant itself?Setup. Ventilation
