Yep normal. The fix balance your intake vs exhaust.

Variable speed. Dial it in. And a bit of negative pressure is needed in the tent. LMAO.

Normal your tent should have a slight negative pressure.

I have a 39"x39" tent and the 6" ac infinity as an exhaust fan. Before last night I was running the tent with the vents open and the duct ports partially open. Just last night I installed a portion of 6" duct in each of my lower duct ports and curved them around some to prevent light leaks and closed 2 of my 3 vents.

Now, on 10 speed, it sucks in a little, but not much. I'll be scrogging, so my scrog frame will keep the tent expanded once installed.

If you're not scrogging you can install a bracing system. On my old 4'x4' tent I used aluminum angle to keep it open, I've seen others use wood.

The Gorilla tent braces work great….I know from experience.

They are also used to hold my scrog, but I did also buy some and put in my ac infinity I use for veg

Time to get crafty! Or buy side support either way there is a pretty simple solution. Best of luck and have fun with it.

Also helps if you install an inlet blower, dial it down to where there is just a slight negative pressure while exhaust is at full bore.

Do these fit other brand tent poles or did they somehow manage to make it a proprietary fit?

They fit the gorilla and ac infinity tents, so tents with the bigger sized poles….1” I think
