Ventilation

I'm using a simple thermostat connected to the vent duct fan to control high temps in a 2x4x6 tent. Upside it works well with a less than 2 degree swing. Downside there is no ventilation during the 6 hours that lights are off. Is there anyway to automatically override the thermostat when lights are off to still provide ventilation?

I was disappointed that I hadn't received any responses and then realized that maybe people suspected my post could be spam because I attached a picture of my thermostat and this was only my second post as a new member. Then again maybe no one had any ideas. I assure you I wasn't trying to sell or promote a product.

Here's some pics of my most recent run of White Widow.

I wouldn't sweat it. Sometimes when people aren't familiar with the product posted, they just don't reply at all. I'd be checking to see if your thermostat has a setting that keeps the fan on 1 or 2 constantly and then kicks it up when temp swings up. I had this same question a while back about the inkbird controller and never got a single response. I never did find the answer I was looking for.

Thanks for the welcome! Thermostat only has a switch for "timer" or "always on". I think I'll had a secondary vent from old 4 inch parts and just time it to only run when lights are off.
