Fan placement and air circulation in a 5x5 tent

So I have 2 mini clip fans that do not oscillate. One is used on my driver for efficiency.
1 oscillating 10”.
6” extraction fan
2 gallon humidifier
Small oil heater.
I use my passive vents but have em slightly closed. Running on average 60%RH and 80F
I have a few probes around the tent and get about the same reading throughout.
I am posting bc I am scared of micro climates and mold when I switch to flower. I have never had mold in me tent but also never had a humidifier with mist blowing around.
Thoughts?

Welp haven’t had the humidifier running since the lights came on. Not sure why it’s doesn’t remember it’s setting after being turned off for a few hours. Also won’t turn on automatically even tho they are hooked to the same timer.. I wonder if there is a smart controller for that and one that’s accurate. Would be nice to have one central controller for everything so you don’t need multiple apps.
I guess for now I’ll have to just turn it on as needed the ol fashion way.
Without it on it is currently 78 and 61rh so do not really need it anyways.
Pulling at least 800 watts of led so idk they seem happy and gonna try to K.I.S.S as much as possible.
Ladies lookin happier by the day tho.!

I purchased a digital humidifier and it had quite the fluctuations in %.
I was going crazy trying to dial everything in. Then I bought the 2 inkbirds. Humidity and temp.
It wouldn't work with the digital humidifier, so I returned that module and got the simple one with a dial.... And haven't had to worry about anything since.
Definitely get the WiFi version of the tent inkbirds.
With all the problems I've been seeing with the ac infinity c69 control. I'm glad I went with the birds.
Good luck, happy growing :bigjoint:

Good to know about the manual and digital humidifier. I will probably have to go that route.
What all do u have connected to your Inkbirds?

On the temp, I've got 6" exhaust with a vortex inline, and an manual oil heater (heater not needed atm)
On the humidity, the dial humidifier and to keep it low a cheap wind tunnel fan on an exit vent hole if it gets to high.
Always on, I have a 10" ocolating over the tops and an up pointing 6" on the ground to help circulation. Maybe overkill, but my temps stay and I'm mold paranoid

This is my first grow setup attempt, atm I don't have to deal with high humidity just get it out of the tent. But I'm thinking it will be in the fall/winter months in Vancouver.

If handy with wiring, you could probably bypass the functions via the internal board, and wire it to directly turn on with the inkbird instead. Without going and buying a manual unit. Done that with many digital controlled devices that didn't work as good as I wanted.
