i have 4 fans in there now. i had 3.. 4 + an ac seems overboard. i only have 2 wall mount fans so the other ones are a huge pain in the ass getting in the way. i think the issue was the carbon filter sitting infront of one of the fans.. it really wasnt doing much of anything because the inline fan shooting straight up in the air. i just dont have anymore room lol. im probably going to have to hang the filter between batches and if i can do that, it will be spitting fresh air over the top of the canopy. the arm that molded was inbetween 2 other big ass arms, fan leaves everywhere, so im thinking it had to be circulation like you guys are sayin. i had nightmares about that shit for surehaha.

my humidity is right around 40-45 percent. this is my first run it has ever been that low lol i was stoked on it. last batches it was 50-55 all the way to the end.

i think getting the carbon filter hung from the ceiling will help with airflow. just make sure you are getting good circulation on/through/under the canopy. try running your humidity at 35%. chances are your dehumidifier won't get there anyway but running lower humidity helps speed up the drying process as well.

patrick doesn't have exhaust fans. he's only exhausting the lights on a closed loop. i don't even exhaust the lights in my room. they are ducted back to the return on the air handler. i prefer to be 100% sealed. i'm thinking about adding an intake and exhaust fan though to run at lights off for a few hours. change the air over. not sure if i'm gonna do it though. i would need some good filtration and solid backdraft dampers.

the guy that built my room is a know it all jackass and wanted it done "his way". so im pulling air from outside to cool my lights through the duct then it goes back outside. it does not take a rocket scientist to know that if there are any leaks in the duct that it will spit the stink outside. he should of just exhausted it into the outer part of my garage. this also would of saved me a hole in the back of the garage, there is now 2. my landlord built my garage so i know when he saw the vents on the back of it he knew something was fishy, but he doesnt ask questions.
im too sketched to bring in fresh air for many reason.. in the winter its cold as fuck, national forest behind my house so dust and dirt and bugs and crazy shit, i have a cop living next door to me so any chance of him smelling anything is not cool. also ive heard alot of negative feedback about mixing fresh air and co2. if my electricity rate was not so ridiculous i was actually looking into going with the wings instead of hoods, i dont like ducting its a pain in the ass, and the glass is a light cockblock, specially after a couple weeks into flower when my glass is all covered with dust and dirt. i want to keep my room as sealed as possible.

i think for the next batch im going to hang the carbon filter, add a couple more wall mount fans, make sure the canopy isn't as condensed, and maybe add one of those square fans you can set on the ground to get underneath the canopy. hopefully this will help. next batch will be my last run at this house so i dont want to put too much money into adding anything that i cant take with me.

yea, you can bring fresh air in and exhaust stale air from the room. you just have to filter the shit out of it to remove odor on the exhaust side and mold, mildew, bugs, spores, pathogens, etc... on the intake side.
