Keeping humidity up and steady (Fan speed non adjustable)
TheHighentiststarted grow question 3 years ago
How do i keep humidity up and steady?
My exhaust fan has no speed control and drops the humidity. I have my humidifier on almost full blast(not full blast because of i dont want it to overheat) a wet towel and a bowl of boiled water.
Does the exhaust fan need to run in veg state?

Nah man, no need for the exhaust fan until you start flowering, as long as you have a good intake from the bottom so the air keep coming in. If you humidifier doesn't have the hygrometer and the function to keep the humidity stable you could buy an Inkbird controller.

you could put the exhaust fan on a timer or link it up to one of them inkbird controllers that only turns on when humidity gets to high then turns itself off again.

Hi,
You don't need to have the exhaust fan cranking all day during veg.
I normally run my exhaust for 1 hour every 6 hours, just to cycle new air in the grow space. Your clip on fans/fans should be more than enough to keep your humidity regulated above 60%.
Just play around with the grow space, keep fans higher up in veg and point at the wall not plants. Test humidifier with just your fans going and see how your humidity goes.
You wont really need your exhaust running until closer to flower and throughout flower whilst plants get sensitive to the humidity.
Hope this helps! Happy grow

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.

How crucial is an exhaust fan and a carbon filter?I cant find anything in my country as a kit, but would buying them piece by piece work?
Example something like in the photo connected to an air duct and then to a carbon filter?
Or if the exhaust fan is not crucial? how can i get rid of the smell in a cheaper way?

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 circulationI just added a ac unit inside the tent. I noticed that when closed its sucking the tent inward. Is this a problem. Or should I take my exhaust fan on the light and make it and I let fan? And how would that work with my filter in flower for smell?Week 3

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!4 years ago

Tent heat - needs to go down. Tent gets to 30c when closed.I want an air intake or something that can cool down an 80x80x180 tent. I don’t have the option to put anything through a window and the air in the room around the tent is pretty warm, so I don’t know if an intake will help. Any advice on what to buy for a small tent?Setup. Ventilation
