Aside of knowing what your 4" fan is, most are functional but some are just shite, but aside of that the issue is recycling the warm air because your not venting externally .
Obviously many have brought this up, but this is why I asked the question.

If you can set it up properly you'll probably find the room stays cooler and the tent will be a few degrees above room temperature.

Into the same room. I could fix it to go outside.

I had it open on Autos being next to a Fireplace it would get too warm during cold weather but closed it up for Photos and so far doing just fine.

I forgot to add I have a good Filter inside the Tent.

Vent outside of the room. You're just recycling heat not extracting it. Also if you aren't already run your lights at night when it's cooler.

To be more clear, vent to an outside window :bigjoint:

Just asking why because I have a good Filter and everything is drawing cool air from inside the house.

One time I was drying in a room. The smell took over the house and wind was out of the South. Guy told me he could smell it well past the Cops house as matter fact he thought the Cop was growing.

The filter is for the smell, by dumping the used tent air outside you'll control humidity better and replenish co2

Ugg! Was thinking about leaving it be because on cooler days I open the windows. I was thinking I can open one window but I don't have a screen.

Already have a problem with Bugs because instead of regular Dog Door I have bottom cut out of Storm Door and pieces of Carpet over it.

I noticed healthier plants once I started dumping the air outside. It's worth the effort imo.

Dumping your warm air outside is a tried and true solution to this problem but if you can sort it out with a larger extraction fan and better air flow into and out of your room and tent, then you might be able to avoid exhausting outside. But you need to make sure that you are bringing CO2 into your grow space from elsewhere as it is used up by your plants.
