Same here too, I've never had a fan on a timer. If there was too much airflow running a fan all the time, I would downgrade to a smaller fan.

I think the rule somewhere was to exchange the air in your grow space three times per hour ???? Not sure if that's accurate, but I think I remember that.

in my 4x4 i run my 6 inch hurricane fan 24/7

I've tried using router speed control reducing day and night airflow experimenting
it was just fine in day but due to not having enough air exchange at night and high humidity i got PM last year

replaced ducting pots everything affordable bleached down tent, light, fans everything so now i know its better to have a little too much ventilation watering a little more often because in my area the humidity is an issue otherwise

like @jigfresh said if its too much of an issue maybe you would consider running smaller fan size my 6 inch is more than enough for my HPS and tent both

i run an air-cooled sun system yield master 2 hood with one end open to pull in heat from the top of the tent by the light , and use the passive intake flaps at the bottom of the tent to pull air in and a few small clip ons to help circulate in there as well

I've learned the hard way i guess ventilation is huge man imo

peace my RIU brothers and good luck hope this and last few replies help

Question for tent growers, I'm running my exhaust in the tent 30 min. every 6 hrs. is
this enough exchange for a 4x8 tent oh yea it's a 380 cfm 6" fan with a 4x12 vent for
passive intake.

400cfm in the 3x3x8 24/7. I'm in the SE though with high humidity for 8+ months out of the year. I'm having to run my dehumidifier 24/7 now too with humidity still at 85+%. Anything to keep PM away.

I didn't give enough info., the only lights are the 3 led shop (no heat) lights and a small electric radiator
for heat, the tent is veg only and the odor is no consequence but I do have a carbon filter in line.
The temp. stays at 78f rh at 60-70%, that will probably change in a few weeks when I start
the BB grow and have 30-35 plants going. Ambient rh in the basement where the tent is runs about 20%.
I plan on adjusting the exchange to the rh as needed but I was curious about air exchange I know the plants
need fresh air but the basement is not heated and I didn't want to chill the girls.
Thanks for the input guys.

Twice an hour for 5min or so each time. I used to work In cabinets and I had a similar low-heat veg situation. Keep air circulating though as it will help fight condensation.

I've used damp-rid buckets to drop Rh too when it would get bad. Those heat light bulbs for raising poultry work too as heaters depending on space size.

I run a 4x 4 and during early veg run my 6 inch HO whenever the light is on ( 18 on) at lower speed to keep temps around 77 degrees, after moving to 5 gallon and 2 liter pots add small fan at top of tent and run fan at 3/4 speed always, after changing to 600 MH at about 2 weeks change to full speed 24 hours a day and small heater when lights are off.

Thanks, I've added a tower fan to move air.

This is what I'm left with until harvest, or an early chop for 1 plant (not sure how long we want to go without anything). Qwiso drippage from a few months of dabbing. A little rough on taste, but does the job.

Flower is moving along nicely. One Dog smells like cat piss, and the other is sweet. The Lambsbread are totally different. One in the back left looks like it will have some nice collas, but the one on the back right has some golf ball action that is loaded in trichs. These should be very interesting once done.image.jpeg

I started a batch of seeds yesterday and 5 of them are vintage 1996 stock Sensi Star seeds that where given to papapayne through me since i have had practice with getting old beans to germinate. We are both hopeing to find a real heavy hitting girl to put us to sleep as we both have trouble with that.
I also started some
Daze ( durban x neville's haze) joedank
Og lerry\CVK x honeybee #2 mine
Blueballz ( fireballs x 98 blue moonshine ) bobbitchen
Jilly bean x mulauje Mohican
Gatorballs ( alligator kush #18 x fireballs ) mine
Gdp x honeybee mine
Hso cem dawg x gdp ( some of the beans from the very first pollination i did )
Swamp Wrecked #5 x honeybee#2 mine
