hi folks i need some advice please i bought 2 new rvk 200 fans one for intake of air and one for outtake of air.now it seems that for the size of the room i,m growing in they are too big.my plants are drying up and going all crisp and distorted.so i,m thinking that the fan thats bringing air in is just been taken straight back out by the other fan so the plants arent getting a lot of air.i,m probably talking rubbish but go with me here.so i took the outtake fan and replaced it with one of my old outtake smaller ones so now i have plenty of air coming in but a smaller fan taking it out so is that ok?thanks folks

Need specs. How big a room, what lights, what distance is the light from the plants? What temps, what humidity levels?
Usually folks just use the exhaust fans at the top of their cabinet/grow room to expel the hot air. Not usually a need to use an intake fan, unless the room is sealed so tight as to restrict inflow. Even then, just a hole or two down low to let cooler air flow in on it's own.
What measures are you using to keep the plants hydrated?

the room is 8ft by 10ft,lights about 4ft from the plants humidity in the low twenties,3 grolux lamps 600 hps.temps from 77-84.21 days into veg from seed.20 plants is that too much?
