Question about regulation temperature inside grow tent

[Theslygrow]

Hi I am running a small grow inside of a 1.5x2.5x3ft lighthouse hydro grow tent. I am using 1x300w Galaxy hydro led. I am trying to figure out ventilation. I was thinking about going with an AC INFINITY thermostat fan controller to power the intake and outtake fans? Would this be a good idea? How would the thermostat work with the outtake fan going to a diy carbon filter. I just want to be able to control the temp and this seems like a perfect idea.

My concerns
I do not want the thermostat to shut off my fans when it reached desired temp as I would lose the negative pressure needed

I would just have the fans running all the time. That way you're always bringing in fresh air which is really good and you're exhausting hot air which is good.

Thanks for your input! It is greatly appreciated! I will hook them up so they are constantly running.
Had another idea tho
How about having an extra fan for intake and an extra for outtake hooked to the thermostat so it would kick on when it needs it to cool the room a bit

~~ I realize this seems excessive but it is necessary because I cannot monitor temps all day long

Yeah I mean I feel like that's a reasonable back up. Always better to be safe. Increased Temps not only kill our girls they increase risk of fire.

Yessir it certainly will. I got my temp to 90 on accident last night and all my plants fell over. How bad is this? It was only 90 for maybe 5-10 minutes they are all straight and look healthy now

It's risky but they should recover. May show signs of heat stress(curling leaves.) But as long as you give them some tlc they should be fine. You should upload pics if you're worried and you can get a better analysis from better than I lol.

You dont need a separate fan for intake, you just need a 'hole'.
You'd be better off having a second out take fan and a second hole.
I turn my out take fans off with the lights, but the circulating fans remain on at all times(not necessarily directed at the plants)
