noob question

I'm new to hydroponic growing, I got a medium sized grow room, i'm gonna get a 6''cool tube powered by a 400 watt ballast, with a 6inch exhasut fan 435 cfm leading to the attic, and a cf/inline fan combo also leading to the attic, are the exhaust fans suppose to be running 24/7 or is there like a on and off cycle or timed cycle

thx for any input <noob​

i grow in soil but i like to keep my fans on 24/7, you want to replicate an outdoor environment as close as possible, and wind never stops blowing outdoors :D
 
thx 4 reply, but woudlnt that overwork ur exhaust fans, and wouldnt u want ur fans to stay off during night cycle? how does this work, do u guys have it hooked where it turns on when it reaches a certain humidity/temp or have a timer and have it clear the room for a certian amount of time??

you need fresh air plants breathe and no air movement will raise humidity and risk mold

you can get speed controlls for your fan mines on 24/7 at half speed so its not to loud or over worked

but im a noob so wtf do i know gl hopefully someone with more experience will have a better explaination
