Timer setup
Pandaganjaastarted grow question 4y ago
Hello everyone, I just assembled my growtent.
At this time the timer shuts down the lamp, the ventilator fan and the exhaust ventilation.
Is this the best setup or is it better to leave the ventilation working 24/7?

You have better air circulation with the fans on. Having them on all the time would be best. Good growing

I only have my lights on a timer. The circulation fan inside the tent runs continuously. The tent exhaust fan (AC Infinity Cloudline) turns on and off as needed to maintain the humidity and temperature I set.

Best to keep ur timer on for the light only and have everything else o it's own supply and labelled I.e exhaust fan and vent fan any heaters or dehumidifiers etc I've found the amount of air brought in on vent fan worked great at half the level input of what the exhaust fan takes out that's on a 1.2m² good luck and I'll follow to see how ur grow comes along 🌱🍁

No, you need the timer just for the light! My ventilation and fans run 24/7.
You need that constant airflow to avoid any issues like PM.

Yay, I ordered a growlight + tent + accessories! I'm planning to install all of this in my basement. I have a small window that I could use to send the filtered exhaust air to. but will it suffice to just get intake air from the basement itself? Or would I need an air purifier?

I am facing a temperature problem again....My tent reaches 84.2F, which is too hot in my opinion. But my humidity is perfect. On the other hand, if I activate the ventilation, the temperature of the tent reaches 76F, which is perfect, but the humidity level drops dramatically to 35%.

Grow Tent/Room setup in the basement - dehumidifier or humidifier needed?I’m planning a small grow setup in my basement and have a room that’s holding a steady 17–18 °C (62–64 °F) with about 55–58% relative humidity. My plan is to vent the exhaust from the grow box straight outside through an existing duct. Will I need a de- or humidifier?
Thanks!Setup. Ventilation
