i'd love to know what brand it is. i've never seen anything even remotely similar.
Is 67/68 degrees too cold?

Friend of friend started a company, ready to launch. Wife divorces. He sells everything at a huge loss off market to avoid giving to wife. Company never gets off the ground. This is the story I was told. The equipment is all really nice actually. It cane with everything.. including a silencer… but I can’t fit it unles I stand it all on the ground.

And noise isn’t really an issue for me, so just hung the filter fan combo up top

So it's only got a power cord going from. The fan? No other wiring or controller?

Yeah. I plug it in, it turns on. One speed that I know of

Ok so best course of action would probably be either a mechanical timer to run the fan, turn it off run it, turn it off. You could also get an inkbird for ~$30-$40,one would turn the fan on and off via RH parameters or temperature parameters, just depends on which one you'd get.
Oh, you can also put the filter on the ground so it sucks out the colder air instead of the warmer air up top.

And that apparatus has the RH and temp built in? Or does it require those meters hooked up to it?

You can get one that's either RH or Temp, I don't believe they make one that does both, a sensor is a part of the unit. Basically the fan plugs into the inkbird and it turns the plug on or off according to the set parameters.

There are a bunch it looks like. Did you have one in mind, that would help me? One I could plug humidifier and fan into?

The inkbird 608T triggers based on both temp and humidity; works as expected. It uses probes of course, as it makes little sense to measure inside the enclosure.

I didn't want to back-read all this, & @Orangejoos I'm hoping you got an answer. . ..
My opinion as I've noticed, the leaf surface temp is a bigger deal than ambient temp. If your tent temp is 67, that's kinda chilly to get good growth and IMO it's too cold for flowering, BUT, if your leaf surface temp and tops of the bud sites is still 70+ then tht's okay. You get way more radinat heat and higher leaf surface temps under HID lights which is why that environment prefers below 80, but growing under LED lights prefers temps as close to or over 80, because leaf surface temps will be lower. The main thing though is staying in the VPD "green zone".

He got it up to 80 when he turned the light up.

Thanks my dude. I found a dim switch, cranked her up and now sitting in low 80s. Lost my humidity though, so now I gotta figure out some automation. Was hoping I didn’t have to do all this…. But I’m gonna see what I can do. Thanks again for your insight. I’m soaking it all up.

Git u a surface temp gun, it's awonderful tool to have around, it's fun to just beam it at random shit and check its surface temp

Yeah, 135w blurple on the left on veg setting, 200w led on the right at about 50%. No idea why
Edit: there is an infrared thermometer gun lower right. Handy around the house in general, $20 and up.

So I’m sitting at 84 F and RH 54%. Ideally I need more humidity now? 70 ish?
