Negative pressure

My tent has negative pressure. The carbon filter exhausts 850m3 of air and brings in 400m3 of fresh air. When I bought the fans, the seller said this setup would be sufficient, but the tent walls are being pulled inward. Will this cause any problems?

if you use an air filter for smell, negative pressure is essential to its effective function... if you don't care about smell, then you don't necessarily need negative pressure. Simply adjust the fans so that as much is entering as leaving and the walls will no longer bow.

no. Its fine, and if anything neg pressure is wanted to keep the smells in. adding in more vents can help the air flow a bit easier or even removing the filters on the exhaust fan if you have any like carbon. filters are not really needed if you are venting outside.

Your setup is fine. Negative pressure is expected and even beneficial. Unless the walls are collapsing onto the plants, you don’t need to change anything.
