Gathered a new tent temperature inside allows you to do without blowing. How much will affect a plant that grew without wind at all

Carbon filter sleeve needed?
I use the carbon filter on the exhaust side. On the intake side, I have a dust screen mesh. The tent is quite clean so that’s why I don’t see the need of the pre filter. Would also probably load the inline fan a bit too. What’s you thought?

Humidity problems
Can I have some advices on how to lower my humidity? I’m having some troubles lowering it since my plant is now flowering. Usually I can’t lower it from 60% while my temps are always on 27/28 C during lights on. I will leave a pic of my setup here. Should I change something?

Can I close the door of my closet?
My tent is located in a closet kind of room (5x2 meters) and I was wondering if could close the door during the night because the fan is a bit noisy. Will it fill the room with exhaust air/humidity and damage everything inside (the plant, also the clothes that are in the room)?

Maintaining VPD
I've got my photoperiod doing well in a 2x2 tent. I'm trying to regulate my VPD with what I have on hand. Currently I'm running my exhaust fan for 8 minutes every hour to get an average VPD around 1, but I'm concerned about the swings. Am I micromanaging?

Ventilation set up
I 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?

Air humidity increases during night time (up to 90%). I have placed carbon filter below the plants. Question actually is do I need to be too worried if I can get the RH level better within next couple days? It’s first week of 12/12 switch now. :)

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!
