Usually I see people wanting a negative air I don't think posative air will kill them but negative air pressure is usually the goal I believe. Or it has been for my grows. Do a search on here and I am sure you will find he answers you are looking for

Positive pressure causes bloating of the tent. Smells will find pin hole exits, zippers etc If you don't run a filter it doesn't matter. Since you do, you NEED Negative pressure.

Also, I personally recommend exhaust through the top , intake on the bottom. For reasons that just seem correct to me. Not gonna explain cuz I've already typed too much.

I aim for slightly negative, that way I know the air is all being removed which will draw new air in "I use passive intake"

Its not yet showing if its male or female, you'll need to let it go longer for prevlowers to appear.

I have the opposite problem. I live in an area that is pretty much always humid. I keep the CFMs high and the tent sucks in from all sides. I vent the filtered air out of the top of the tent and I added an extra vent hose at the bottom to help air flow. I keep a dehumidifier going in the room where the tent is located. Of course dehumidifiers put off heat and sometimes that is an issue. But determination always finds a way.
