A fan speed controller or timer will help a lot.

I run a 10x12 room with 31 inch carbon scrubber on a 8 inch inline. I have run all kinds of different times, 15 min on 15 off, 10 on and 15 off, right now in veg I’m at 5 min on and 15 off, as I get into flower and the plants create a more stable environment I tend to run it more for smell and when humidity isn’t a problem.

Oh and all I use is a Wi_Fi smart socket to control, super easy and you can turn on and off anywhere you have service.

Also when you done this do you notice any set time that works better or do you just always mix it up is the sudden drop of temp and humidity bad for the plants ??

Don't know for sure. It's out of my league. I just wanted to welcome you to the farm.

I'm not sure I understand the question, though. Are you saying having the filter attached makes the humidity too low? So it's not the fan itself, but the filter that seems to be causing the problem?

Hi blonde thank you and I have a humidifier because running 3 lights brings it down way too low but when I run the humidifier without the CF I can basically have it sitting at what I want but as soon as I turn CF on just sucks everything straight out of the room the humidity is not getting a chance to sit a friend of mine says that’s probably sucking out about a 1000L of air per/HR I’m thinking it might be too big or too strong for the size of the room

Maybe so... What is the volume of the room?

by volume do you mean how many plants ?

No. I mean the volume of the space inside the room. So measure the inside height, width and depth and multiply the three numbers. That is the volume of the room.

So, if your fan is moving 1,000L of air per hour, how long will it take to replace the air in the room?

For example, for my 2x4x6 tent, I have 48 cubic feet of volume inside my tent. Fans in my neck of the woods are usually rated in cubic feet per minute, or CFM for short. So a fan that moves 48 CFM would (theoretically) replace the air inside my tent once per minute.

THIS^^^^^

You have to run your scrubber on a schedule so that your humdifier has enough time to load up the room with humidity. Basically you want to have enough humidity in the room so that the scrubber will remove some of it but not enough for it to drop your average room humidity outside of the range you want the room to sit at.

I just pick a time for on off and watch it over an day and night. Each room may be a bit different. You want as little swing as possible while exchanging all the air in the room.

What would be the preferred interval between fan on/off? How do you time the intervals in regards to the performance of your humidifier?
