I dont understand? Are u saying u are moving too a new house and you are wondering if keeping a window open in the grow room will prevent mold. Probably not and I wouldn't leave a open window in ur grow room. Also do u think ur tent started the mold or what?

sorry yeh was pretty bent when i wrote that

i have a cab setup in a sealed room which is causing mould im fine with it as the house will be knocked down soon.

however i will be moving into my own house soon and i want to work out a system that would not make the walls of the house mouldy. i was thinking its a vent problem so was thinking of leaving a window open.

if the room is sealed the moisture has no where to go. venting the room would help alot.

yeh its pretty much a sealed room and back onto a industrial fridge so it gets alot of cool air on the side but i keep and eye on the temp in the room its always pretty good. when i move im to do the tent system i was going to go 2 X 8" vent fans for the air to go into the tent and 1 X 12" vent fan to rid the air. should work ok i think

You could also get a dehumidifier. No matter what you do you need to clean and bleach the room and start fresh and super dry.

The house your growing in is going to be torn down. Also the amount of mold u are talking about is definitely going to affect ur marijuana. I dont think its a good idea to grow there.
