always go for an extractor and make a vent for fresh air. the displacement of the extractor putting air out will force fresh air in. if you do this oppositely and force air in there is no force to push air out. this is how my room is setup one big extractor throwing air out from the top of the room and a passive (no fan ) intake on the bottom of the room this makes fresh air come in from the bottom circulates under the plants and extracted out from the top :) hope this helps

Help with airflow. I've got an extractor and 3 circulating fans. Would a powerful inline fan be better than the 3 circulating fansQuestion about environment here.
I've got a 5x5 tent. Total 46m area.
460m3/hr needed to be extracted.
Extractor fan is capable of taking 600m3/hr.
I did have in an inline fan but it's no longer working. Do I need another inline fan ?? I've opened two ports for passive intakeSetup. Ventilation

High RH in flowerI find it really hard to keep the RH below 50%, especially at night when temps are low. I have a dehumidifier in the room where my tent is in but even when it's below 50% there, it still is above 50% in the tent itself. Can somebody explain this? Probably help me with a solutionWeek 14

Ventilators OFF/ONHi, guys.
I have one more question today:
- My box has three ventilators. One is working in the upper air channel all the time to bring out hot air. Other two staring on my plants.
Should I use all three of them?
Or one is enough till my babies will grow thick to pervent mould?Week 1

How to reduce humidity in my grow space?I'm just an amateur and am growing in my closet as I have very limited space. It's a small space in which I can't cut holes or openings. I use a small fan and a air purifier. Should I get more fans? Does a carbon filter or inline duct help if it can't exit out of the closet?Setup. Ventilation

Please look at the leaves shown, orange and dried parts. I asked a similar question earlier but these look more damaged and I'm wondering if it's worsened due to my setup. Wind damage from fans? Water damage from humidifier? Light or heat damage? Managing VPD is tough. Thanks!2 years ago

I'm still worried because the temperatures still haven't dropped this afternoon, it rose to 33 degrees and I tried, as you see in the videos, putting two fans or one big one and nothing.
Do you recommend turning on the light at night in the morning and how would it be to change tOther. Other
