getting ready to fire everything up for first grow and am wondering if my climate control box runs my exhaust fan based on temp and humidity it will go on and off based on the readings in the room so i'm wondering if the room stays at the proper temp humidity for 5-6 hours the air will be stagnate?? the exhaust /scrubber should run constantly. atleast i thought or do i just plug the fan straight in and run it on high med low? to exchange the air ?? It's mindfucking me right now and i could use some help..
Yea an also where should i place the sensor off of the control box in the grow area--- outside it ?? i will have parcels containing the light.. thanks again

OH ye i will be running co2 on 2nd grow so i will have to have it pluged into it so it can shut down so any info to help me would be awesome thanks
 
Do you think it will stay at the correct temp and humidity for that long?
I don't think it will be a problem just keep the air inside moving. I'm sure it will be venting more than that and you will most likely be coming in and out quite often in the beginning.
If you are concerned you might be able to ride the fan on the pump cycle too or a cheap timer to vent a few times.
Again I don't think you need to. By the way, beautiful room you've got there.
 
ya, i don't think it will hold a temp and humidity that long. should i use a humidifier to activate the exhaust fan more often..i have a speed control for the fan.. and was thinking maybe just let it run on med-low to keep air constantly moving or should i use the temp control to activate it with a heater? i know every room is different, but i appreciate all of your time. thanks
 
You shouldn't need a humidifier. What controller do you have? Turn the exhaust fan on high plug it into the controller and set the controller for the temps and humidity you would like to not to go beyond and let it do it's thing. monitor the room and adjust the room or controller as needed. The sensor should be near your plants at about the same height. I suggest not to worry about exhausting the room it will do it as the temps and humidity dictate. I know you are concerned about stagnate air in the room but I wouldn't worry about that yet unless it is a problem now. The exhaust fan will most likely run enough once you get it going. keep an oscillating fan going in the room at all times to keep air in room moving. hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. good luck.
 
sounds good .. all my test run's have gone smoothly the humidity is fairly low like 40% this sould increase when i get plants in the room. yea thanks i'll keep in touch with ya as i progress thanks man

If you're not going to be supplementing with CO2, your exhaust and intake fans should be running almost constantly (at least while lights are on).
