Extraction fan running

Screwiestarted grow question 5y ago

I have a Ambient Q60 tent... When I cover up the air intake holes during light off hours and want to leave the extraction fan running, the air from the whole tent looks like its being sucked out. There's no room for air to get it. Am I doing something wrong?

You must have an intake opening if your running an exhaust fan, if you don’t you will slowly implode and collapse your tent. Lol If your worried about light getting in your intake opening during dark periods you can put something in front of it like a cardboard box with the box opening against your tent and covering the intake opening. This will block any light but still allow your tent to intake air through the box. Hope this helps, cheers 💨

You must have a hole at the bottom and let it open . you can't cover all intake holes and leave exhaust on , how the air gets in ?

it's not wrong, but it's not necessary either, maybe it will pull some trichomes out of the plant, but i doubt it will work better than if you have your intake fan running. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Question about ventilation I have a 200cm tall tent with a carbon filter connected to an extracter fan/ duct leaving the top corner of my tent. I have no intake air fan connected, although the walls of the tent are bending inward- should I add an intake fan in the bottom of the tent?
