Hi fellow growers,
I got a 80cm x 80cm grow tent running under dimmable 480w LEDs in my bedroom.
I like to leave the window cracked open at all times for fresh air, but since it's been such a cold winter here, the grow tent's average temperature is at 21C / 70F, RH 45-60%. When I close the window, I can get it up to 25C, which I think the plants would like more.
I have no ducting connected from the window opening to the tent. Air gets sucked in passively from the room and vents into the same room.
My questions.
1) I always assumed I have to leave the windows open for fresh air. Is that a fact? Does it have any negative when I have the window closed at times? That way the grow tent climate would be 25C / 50%rh.
2) Is there a difference if the air gets sucked in directly from outside into the grow tent vs when the air inside the room gets sucked into the grow tent?
3) How important is it to have the exhaust vented outside the room, where the grow tent is in?
Thanks in advance!
