I’m not sure if I am doing something wrong or if most just live with this.
I grow in a 4x4 tent in my heated shed. My 6” Vivosun exhaust fan with charcoal filter vents directly outside. I also have fresh air coming in from outside through a different vent. And fans for circulation. All good. The problem for me is that in order to keep the smell in my shed at bay I have to run the 6” exhaust fan 24/7. When the plants are seedlings I don’t have to but once they hit 6-7 weeks the smell is overwhelming if I turn off the exhaust fan. And that’s not even during the flowering stage! Of course having the fan running all the time eliminates most of that smell but it also takes out all of the needed humidity even with a large humidifier that I have in my tent. And the exhaust fan is so loud even on the lowest setting, at least to me it’s too loud. Apparently it’s a quiet one and only runs at about 29 dB I believe I’ve read. I don’t know how people would live with this noise in their actual house! Or the smell. So how do I keep the fan running 24/7 and keep the proper humidity in the tent? I’m considering getting a 4” exhaust fan instead as I find a 6” is too powerful for a 4 x 4 tent anyway. But I would love to know other people thoughts and opinions on this? Have you ever run into the same? Any help would be appreciated.
