Should my inline fan run perpetually?
I read it's important to exchange the air in your grow area once per five minutes. Because I read that, I've had my inline exhaust fan running in my tent since the beginning of my grow. Is that right?

condensation issue
I have terrible condensation in my tent. My tent is only small 60cm deep 120 wide 150 tall, I have a 6inch desk fan for circulation and a humidifier. I haven't yet I stalled my extractor/filter (awaiting delivery). Will the extractor solve this issue once I install it? Thanks.

High humidity
Hello. Even with a dehumidifier and a 24-hour extractor, the humidity is still above 70% and one of the plants is almost in the flowering period. Can I add expanded clay on top of the vase to see if it lowers the humidity or putting more perlite will solve this? Thanks.

Now getting condesation in my tent when I've added this duct to a pipe exiting the house? Am near harvest too.
Didn't have an issue with condensation inside the tent before, now that I've attached the duct to a pipe going out i'm getting condensation inside... Does the set up look right? I've hooked up to a smaller tent too via a T. Could it be pressure?

Sealed grow air scrub
After adding a dehumidifier, evaporative cooler and c02 bag I decided to go ahead and do a sealed grow to better control the environment. Conditions look great. I’d like to know if I can loop my exhaust to recirculate the air to scrub it when things get stank? Video on the diary

High heat in greenhouse, how hot is to hot?
I built a 16x20 greenhouse with dual vents and a 24” exhaust fan. I hit a max of 122 (it’s 92 outside). I typically reach 105-110 on regular days. Everyone looks happy other than an nutrient burn issue. Can weed plants handle this kinda heat?

Air for small tent?
Just a quick one people, I only have a outlet fan in my tent? My tent is 70x70x160cm if I open the bottom vents on my tent would this be enough air for the flowers at later stages if I open a window in the same room to allow fresh air?

Carbon filter effectiveness at harvest
Hey everyone, just wondering if carbon filters actually get rid of 100% of the smell from the harvest point while drying? I can’t smell anything outside the tent at the moment but my plants haven’t all bloomed fully and I need to be prepared, can’t have the neighbours smelling!

Trouble keeping my RH below 65% in grow tent (I water once per 24hrs, 20% runoff)
Hello fellow growers! I am having trouble keeping my RH lower than 65%. Any ideas (without using a dehumidifier)? For extraction, I have a RAM mixed flow with a passive intake. It seems for the space (0.8mx0.8m), that this is more than enough. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
