Trouble controlling room temp and RH

[Vitmore]

Hello everyone, im having trouble controlling my room temp and RH, my last run i grew 3 plants and didnt have trouble with either, this run im only growing 1 plant but my temps are very high with the lowest being 75°F and the highest being 88°F. I bought a Humidifier to try to get my RH up but it only has climbed to 26% and is normally around 20%. I have a 3x3 tent with 4" exhaust fan, no C02 in this run. i will post some pics of my tent setup here any tips will help alot thanks !!

When was the last time you cleaned your prefilter on your carbon filter?

My buddy uses that filter and had the same issues, it turned out that the fan was barely blowing because the prefilter was clogged.

I havent cleaned it yet, it has only been in use for 3 months ish, my last grow plus this 2 and a half weeks since sprout. As you can tell this little one isnt very happy right now shes very small still :/ i will try cleaning the prefilter in the morning and thanks for the tip

No problem, let me know how it works out for you

Bring up the humidity in the rest of the house and it will benefit you as well as your plants. 20% is crazy low. Indoor air should be closer to 50% for comfort.

@Ladon so i cleaned my prefilter it didn't help.. i think it is my carbon filter in general, i bought the AC Infinity CLOUDLINE T4 when i was cleaning my prefilter i didn't have the carbon filter attached and it was blowing great, as soon as my prefilter finished drying i put it back on the carbon filter and attached it to the T4 now on speed 10 on the T4 i cant feel any air coming out... can you suggest a good carbon filter i can pick up? Thanks for the help so far means alot this is my first time on a fourm and its pretty cool to tall to other growers about this stuff

@TurboBucket i moved around some of my humidity reader things haha in one of the pics im posting you can see some how my humidity was pretty good all along, i think it might have been because one of the probes was right across from a fan im not sure if that affects it but now after moving the probe and setting up my new one from the T4 Inline fan behind the fans and half way up the tent its reading good i hope that was my problem and thanks for the tip

I just use cheap filters and replace them often.

@Ladon okay i just bought another 4" carbon filter to see if that will make it any better, im not to worried about smell in flower, is it safe to run my fan with no filter? Or will it cause probelms with my fan in the future?

@Dusted Thank you ! Enjoying my time here so far !

Besides not filtering the smell and airborne particles it’s fine to run without a filter, but your fan blades might build up with dust if you run it without filtering.

Also don’t stick anything in the fan your not willing to lose

I run my exhaust fan now all the time without the filter, I do tape a screen over the intake though, its legal here and not worried about the smell, the odd day it smells pretty nice, if other people don't like it that's just to bad.
