You know, you guys discussing tent environment.
I am a firm believer in strong air flow! A good air exchange along with circulating fans also!
I mainly manage the environment of my lung room and then fine tweak with my individual tent exhaust fans.
I've started applying some of my heat transfer and fluid flow knowledge for the tent airflow.
My Gorilla 4x4 is about as dialed is you can get it. I don't regret going down to a 6 inch exhaust fan, since I went with a A C Infinity. It's very powerful in extremely quiet, especially for the amount of air that it moves! It gains me light hanging height and a quieter tent.
When I did the changeover, I used the extra hose to set up new screened inlet ducts. On the Gorilla I used the lower two front inlets on each side. The AC Infinity ducting tubing is very nice , but it's reflective inside. When the light was on you could see it from outside the tent. If you can see it out you can see inside. maybe not enough to matter, but I wasn't taking a chance. I just sprayed some flat black primer on the inside of it and that killed the reflectiveness. I also have the velcro flap I can open up if needed . Although I really don't like using that, since I can kinda forget to close it we lights are out. You know the stoner thing.
Anyway, that brings the fresh air in at a lower side. My exhaust fan and filter are located on the opposite side all the way to top. My circulating fans are on a diagonal opposing each other to get a nice mix of the air.
With the way I've ran this particular run a little cooler, i've had to play with my fan settings a bit and with a different fan. I tend to have the lowest setting at 6. I have a temperature setting for the fan to go full max when that point is reached. I just wanna keep it steady and it's not really that loud at full blast.
Naturally, the biggest thing is keeping the lung room with the proper parameters.
I like how the use of your lung room Equipment goes through the cycle of a plant. I almost always need cooling, And since I'm in Lone Star Shadowland, cooling must always be on standby, even in the dead of winter!
Early on and sprouts, seedlings and early veg, the humidifier is constantly going and you're constantly filling.
Then from early veg to early flower, you'll have a sweet spot where you don't have to run a humidifier or a dehumidifier.
Then the girls get their rage on................ Where my girls currently are in cycle! They are drinking the water and Transpiring like crazy and that dehumidifier is nonstop!
@St. Tom
I think you'll like your new fan and be 69P controller.
The 4x4 tent controller and sensor seem to be working perfect And is accurate. The controller or sensor in the 2X4 is a bit screwy. When you go to review the logs of the parameters, it shows a wide and cyclical variation. Further down below it will show you the highs and the lows and the average. Average is pretty much spot on. Tech said to swap the sensors to see if it moves over to the other controller. I haven't done that since it'd be pain in the ass right now to get to the 1 in the 4x4.
I do have to say though, that setting up the programmer with the different parameters and Etc. is not very intuitive at all. I think it's a bit easier to do on the phone app.
If your lights have a dimmer and a RJ45 connector, You can control the light with the proper adapter and set up a sunrise and sunset. I've got my small tent with the new Mars Light set up to go from 1 to all the way to 10 for sunrise and back down at sunset in a 30 min period of time.

Lots of great info bill and it's great seeing others setups also the phone app looks pretty easy to use .regarding using the lights by the controller I grow with sanlights evo series and I've got an app for lowering the power by bluetooth and thanks again bill
Yeah, I figured your lights might have a program to operate them.
I think that smart AC Infinity exhaust fan will help you make your tent environment more stable and easier to fine tune. And you can check on your tent if you got your phone with you! You can also set alarms for it to go off on your phone on several parameters.
It's just damn good tool!!!
It's a good system for the average home grower. I will upgrade my monitoring and control systems for a more commercial use when I build my grow room in my shop.

Massive changes now so now we have 1 full plant still going and 3 plants with middle and lower bits but 90 cent harvested so in the 4x4 the black Lebanon are completely down so I think the front macncrack could go another week .also I will be starting some new girls really soon so 2 new kerosene krash for the smaller tent and 4 maybe of the same strain possibly panty punch as I ran 2 a few grows ago and they were bangers

Everyone knows I love brown paper bag drying well the first bag is the tops of the right hand side macncrack as I left them lowers to catch up and she's next to her sister who is my only big plant left now and I will chop her midweek .and the other bag is the black Lebanon tops and I have stacks of her still drying
Nice!
I like my brown bag drying also! But I do really like to dry in a cardboard box if I can. I've got a couple of them made and if I can fit a girl in there easily I'll do it. I've got a few of the styrofoam like packing that I will put in the bottom and have a hole in it so I can stand the plant up. That makes it a little bit easier to trim with the leaves more open and not close to the bud.
With my harvest coming up in a couple of weeks or so, my walk-in closet at this time of year will be the best place for my drying with the temps and humidity that tend to be in there.
