What I try to shoot for in a tent or small square room is a cyclone type action at the base and through the plants. Can be a simple as 1-2 fans pointed at the wall making like a toilet bowl action of air movement. This will keep the air mixed well then the exhaust pulls the mixed air up and out.So, here's another consideration that I just thought of for my PM/environment issue:
No, not my cat's little powdered toast face.
Nor the PBP.
But the exhaust behind it all...
So, although I'm venting out of the top, I'm not actually venting the uppermost air.
In fact, I'm probably creating a really weird kind of 〰〰 up/down current that may or may not be drawing the warm, moist air out from the top of the tent.
The passive intakes are varied - one big one up top, one big and one small down below. But I imagine the current is probably dipping down to the floor right at the front of my plant canopy.

Basically, I would surmise that I'm creating a pocket in that back and uppermost area of the canopy that does not see adequate ventilation.
So, I'm gonna mount that when I get home... as I should have done when I set up the tent.
I mounted my thermohygrometer up toward the middletop of the tent, too. So, that should give me a good indication of the effectiveness of the exhaust repositioning.

Many ways to skin a cat though.
That makes sense. I have the oscillating guy where its A and B points are hitting opposite walls and then that above clip-on guy pushing air down... which probably isn't the best, either. But I feel like that's just creating a whirl that doesn't drain to the right place right now..Agree with @Aqua Man creating an upward vortex with circulation fans will sort out the stale air.
also only bring in intake air from down low and exhaust up high.

I think my reasoning behind the up high intake was just to bring in some warmer air..
I'll make some adjustments this evening.
Thanks, captains!

For sure.if i grow in my basement in winter i will need to bring in warmer air from above. But i will still have circulation fans properly mixing the air inside the space.
We still have to do what is needed. Parameters are just guidelines to follow.
No such thing here. I appreciate it and do my best to vacuum up every bit.I know explanation is to in depth but thats just me lol.
Oh, right...Why not both?
