What hole to open in my tent?

[johnlx]

I set my exhaust sistem like this and it creates some vacuum not too much to but I read that I should keep a whole in my tent opened for new air to come in doesn’t that create light leaks ? If so do I open little one in the back big one on the side or are the side windows on the bottom enough for air to come in if I leave them just slightly opened ? Please Help me thanks

Also should I fill the pot a little more and is the light a good height for seedling it’s a ts600

Hey johnlx,

don’t need to worry about light leaks until flower cycle… yes open a vent or two on bottom sides

that’s pretty good on filling the pot but it will settle over time and especially when adding water. Your light spacing looks ok for now but will defs need to be lowered after the seedling pops and stabilizes

we need to get you hooked up with 2 watering guides brb….

I leave the bottom right flap mostly open, then have my exhaust going out the top left. The thought process is that the air is sweeping bottom to top, and from one side to the other. Dunno if one way is better than another, but it makes sense to me

For sure, my pot soil has settled a lot over the course of almost 13 weeks - soil level drops after every feed. I'd take that into consideration as I will be for my next grow.....

Be safe
