Well there's no worry's you don't have negative pressure...looks like she could suck a golf ball through a hose pipe
To help with that I built extra ribs for the sides of my tent (3-4 per side) and door out of baton, cable ties and aluminum tape. The plants loved it, its given them all the space in the tent now.

Yeah that's what I'm saying man it should be all good I'm hoping anyway.

Another thing there getting blown about in there quite abit but it seems to be making them very strong but do u think it could stress the girls out if to much blowing about?

Yer I'm pretty sure they goona be OK as long as they are not over heating.
Save most of your money up for a variac for super silent running (or build one, that's my next DIY adventure) and just to get by for the moment go with a £50 - £70, check the sms range out...you can even get a 5 step variac on ebay for about £60 but they don't come with the thermostat (I think its important to have one, especially for the summer). For some strange reason if you want to by a variac fan controller with thermostat is seem to cost and arm and a leg (£200+).

Gonna go get the fan controller and a few other bits to help weekend,

They ain't getting to hot highest it gets is 29c I'm sure that's not to hot for them tho, my last run got to 31c and they was very healthy girls!

Hey guys,

Got a problem here I can't seem to figure out the actually problem.

I went and got a fan controller (made horrible humming how do I help with that) but it doesn't seem to be sorting the problem for me the humidity is still not going above 40rh and my intake is literally pulling fresh air straight from the outside where humidity is 65rh at the moment so my theory is my fan is still to powerful and its sucking all my humidity out the room and the temp is running at 29c don't make sense tho as going back to my intake it's pulling like 10c air into my grow room so it's shouldn't be that hot and the fan controller is not helping with the temp either guys any of u guys no what this might be could do with some help please? .

Now I'm no expert here and I'm sure someone with better experience will chime in but what i think is you problem... maybe... is that the intake air is to cold (lower the temp less humidity) coming into the tent, that's gonna do you proud in bloom with a low RH but not so good in veg... My intake is coming of the house at about 17c+ depending if the heating is on or not and my average RH in the house is around 60%. In fact I battling to much RH at the moment.
You could try and heat the air coming into the tent
Buy a cheap humidifier (I'm thinking that might have to be your route).
For a super cheap option you could also leave some dishes of warm water to evaporate in the tent to help raise the RH.

On your fan speed you want your fan set to extract heat and aim to be around the 25c mark...the humming comes from the fact the controller slows the fan down by send small pulses of electricity which cause the vroom vroom hum. The only way to around that is to build a silent fan box (which is what I did) or save your money up and by a variac fan controller (pricey) which reduces the voltage and cause's no hum.

Where is your tent located? I had a problem similar to this earlier in my grow. I was running an A/C duct into the bottom of my tent and then exhausting the tent into the bedroom. I had problem's with ranging temps and humidity so not quite the same as yours but similar. What i did was remove the A/C duct that was cooling my tent and then i ran a window A/C unit to cool the room and went to the passive intake on my tent. This gives me a buffer with the temps and humidity and makes it easier to control. Rather than pulling air from outside where the temp and humidity are gonna be changing and cycling it through your tent quickly with a strong fan, keeping your room at a constant temp helps out because you arent trying to balance such a small microcosm inside a larger one. Just my 2c man

Yeah I'm gonna give that a go I think I been playing around and experimenting all day just can't seem to narrow it down I have raised the light for now that has took it up to 45rh I have just gave them a feed so that will help take up too, the temp is at 28c at the moment need to take down a notch I'm thinking?

Yeah I'm unable to use the fan controller at the moment due to making to much of a hum so I may have to build a box it's not over kill at the moment tho they seem to be healthy so I think there doing fine, yeah I was thinking humidifier to bro.
