I think i need an intake fan however i have 2 open 4' holes in the tent to let some air in when the inline fan kicks on...i think this might work. I'll eventually get another one....maybe. Other than that any recommendations? I moved everything from my closet to the basement since it's naturally 60-65 degrees year round. I got my little air purifier in there and another in the lung room.

You might want put a filter of some kind on those 4" holes to prevent bugs from getting in. Looks like that left plant wants a little more food.

An intake fan is optional, it will work fine passively pulling air through the vents.
Aren't there two rectangular screened vents on each side near the bottom?
Those should provide ample area to pull in fresh air.

Consider a pre-filter for your carbon filter; it'll extend the life of the activated carbon.

It's in the washer lol .... pretty sure that carbon filter may be fucked. About 2-3 months old and i was running tap water in my humidifier and it was coated in white shit. i vacuumed it really good and it got a lot off... we'll see

A couple things I would do differently.

1. I'd put some sort of tray or saucer under the plants. Helps keep any mess from watering contained.
2. I toss the nylon straps that come with charcoal filters directly into the trash. I do not trust them even a little bit. I use the ratchet hangers. Much more secure and they never slip and to this day, have never broken or flat out failed.

Also, as far as intake, I just use the passive intake. I haven't found a need fir an intake fan yet.

2 happened to me, while my plant was trelised, now my filter sits on top of my exhaust fan outside my tent. Didn't wanna risk it droping on my lady or light again. It is getting way dirtier that way.

For the Passive intake use some 3-4" pvc pipe with pantyhose wrapped around the end. Help keeps bugs out and doesn't restrict airflow.

Not sure what is wrong with her except it's an auto and i had to go out of town for a week and i lost power for 4 days so who knows they both may have been in 95 degrees and no lights for those 4 days. Haven't been able to get her back to normal since.
