I got a $25 thermostat / hydrostat that remotely monitors the temps and humidity so I am not constantly opening and closing the tent to check them. Depending on the time of year, I open/close the different built-in vent flaps to control the temps.

There are lots of tips on this board also, just do a few searches.

I love my tent and my first product turned out way better than I expected


Good luck!
Thanks Heaps Mate, thats exactly the sorta stuff i was chasing.
Ive got myself a thermostat / hydrostat aswell which was orignally for my grow room but i ended up upgrading to a wireless type one which means i can monitor my room from the lounge room even in the dark period. The old one would be perfect to attach to the side of the tent with velcro or something and the little sensor can hang inside

I have an 8" fan which will be the extraction fan and the extraction process will suck fresh air from the intake (no fan though). Ill see how the temps go and ill install a intake if not happy with the temps.

Ill look into carbon fans if the scent becomes a problem but since the tent is only for veg ill have to wait and see :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info mate, REP shared+

I do realise i can do searches although sadly when i search grow tent or similar it brings up EVERY grow which has those magic words in them even if i select thread titles lol

Thanks
