Hey growers, I'm new to the indoor world, and I'm having trouble learning about ventilation and air extraction. I have a box that's 90 x 90 x 180 with an extractor Ø 12.5CM - FLOW RATE 280 M3/H. I also have a humidifier. How should I set the timers to save energy as well? Thanks!

Leave then turned on all our most of the time. Try to keep temps between 24-28c and humidity levels need to be quite high at first 75%ish and reduce to 60% when flowering begins. Make sure you careful of light distance, this space is enough to grow a nice plant in a 5 gallon or 4 much smaller plants. The cost of electricity for that set up will not be as much as you'd think., 🌱👍😁

I use a vent fan (AC Infinity Cloudline) that has an automatic controller for temperature and humidity. The fan turns on and off as needed to keep the tent within the temperature and humidity range I choose. If you do not have a controller for your fan I would use a timer so it runs whenever the lights are on. Then adjust the fan speed until it maintains the tent parameters you want. Keep in mind that putting devices like a heater, humidifier or dehumidifier in your tent is very difficult since the fan will be fighting them. The vent fan can remove air faster than those devices can heat or humidify so it is easy to over vent and your tent and blow your freshly humidified or heated air out of the tent. This is where an automatic controller really helps since it only runs the fan when needed. Don't get overwhelmed. Growing is actually pretty easy and your first grow is the toughest as you have to learn everything. Future grows will be easier and almost guaranteed to produce more as you learn.
