Welcome to 420 my friend. I'm not 100% sure of your question.
If you are having heat issues you can hook a thermostat or timer to your fan.
Otherwise please rephrase your question as best you can my friend so we can help.

Yes in fact I would like to know if the extractor is used to eliminate the heat or to bring in new air moreover I would like to know if it should be on constantly or can I add it to a thermostat that does so worked according to the temperature Thank you

It will draw heat out and bring cooler new air in simultaneously.
You can hook it to a thermostat controller for sure. It a common practice.

OK thank you very much and to monitor the EC of my plants how should I know what to put in it because I am told to watch every day and add according to what the plant takes in nut but the problem is that at home it takes at least a week sometimes longer before my pots are dry and the plants need watering them Do you understand my question? Thank you

I take it your in soil? If so don't worry about EC. What nutrients are you using. Your best bet is to get a feed schedule for your nutrient line and try to stick to it.
Soil buffers your nutrients and the plant will take what it wants.

OK I have my nutrient chart and I do this with coconut I think my problem is coming from here, you think I should add 50/50 coconut soil my nutrients at the moment are dry guno and earthworm compost nutrients with CAL-MAG

You can add coco if you want no problem lots of soil growers add coco to their mix. Im not sure what if any nutrients your getting from those amendments.
Coco has no nutritional value nor does earth worm castings. So that leaves bat shit which I have never used.

You, you have a 100% earth culture, don't you have coconut mix? How many days do you water? Is it normal that it takes a week before the pots are dry? I am told that it takes 10 to 20% water per liter of soil example 1 to 2 liters of water for a 3 gallon pot is it true? Is that what you do for your plants too?

I'm in straight coco my friend. I water everyday to runoff.
Soil growers have to use a dry/wet cycle to water properly. The length of time to dry between watering is dependent on several factors. Pot size, plant size, lights ,temp,rh, all effect how long to dry between watering. Alot of soil growers use pot weight to tell when to water, or let plant start to wilt before watering.

So if you water every day is your pots dry or not (no obligation to be dry) because I too cultivate in coconut and I would like to know how much water you put every day and do you sprinkle even if your coconut is not dry I would like to understand thank you to you

Coco is inert and has to be kept wet at all times. Have you had a chance to read any tutorials on watering. Blt. Method in @Backlipslide signature will help.
I water every day till I see water coming out bottom of pot. Then ill give a little more to make sure all roots get wet. Keep coco wet at all times. Bigger girls may require multiple feedings a day.

Thank you for the info and I will do it this way and I will wet my coconut every day but do you also put them on every day or every other time?

I water every day with full strength nutrients.

 

[Jessi13]

I don't understand because if I do like you by following the nutrient table, I still have yellow leaf problems and slower growth You look and add your angrais according to the ec you have at the outlet of the drain? Hence my first question (how do you know how much ec should I have in my water for the next watering with the fertilizers)

Coco is hydroponic and requires a ph of 5.8 if you go by the feed schedule your ppm will be what ever they recommend. Do you have a meter to measure.
What exactly is in your girls pots?

 

[Jessi13]

Yes I have a measuring tape and I am French I live in France we don't have all your knowledge that's why I ask you for everything there and in my pots I only have 100% coconut and perlite

Hope you are keeping safe in France. When I say a meter to measure im talking about a TDS meter. Not measuring tape. Depending on size I can get my ppm up over 1800 ppm but I don't recommend that if your not sure what your doing.
If you can't get hold of meter we can figure something else out for you.

Yes I have an EC or PPM meter and a PH METER I just want to know if I am mandatory to water every day with coconut culture and am I mandatory to monitor my EC or PPM on the watering outlet even if I use organic fertilizers thank you

As long as your not burning your girls checking ppm every day isn't necessary especially if your on a schedule. Ph on the other hand requires constant monitoring. Must be kept as close to 5.8 as possible. If you have the meter it might be beneficial to monitor your mix (ppm)every day and log it. That way if you have a problem you can tell where things went wrong.
There is no need to monitor your runoff constantly. Your girls will uptake what they can and leave the rest. Ive been in coco for years and have never measured my run off water.
