That's how it's supposed to work :yes: Without negative pressure you cannot be sure all the air is going through your scrubber :yes:

thanks bro!
so no problem:) i was thinkink the too much negative preasure can dry the plants:)
thanks again!
 
If your exhaust fan is to strong and your intake fan is to weak, just eliminate one and only use the exhaust fan. It should be strong enough to pull air through your intake hole and not use the intake fan. What cfm is the exhaust fan?

Eh.. Why do you need intake fans again ?
You can use passive intake if your fan is strong and just regulate the intake area for negative pressure (total intake area = 2x-4x exhaust area)..

As for negative pressure, all it means is that if there are any openings in the room, the direction of air moving through them is inwards into the room, meaning NO odor can leak whatsoever, except from the exhaust ofc, where you'd have your filter.

So no negative pressure is not a bad thing, it is actually essential ;)

Just as long as it's not too much of a difference then don't worry, negative pressure = zero smell, positive pressure = stinking your house out ;)

Hey dude

If the temps are better with your intake fan then keep it! As long as you still have negative pressure then NO WORRIES! ;)

Good luck
