Any advice on growing greatly appreciated,so much info out there i dont know what to do.I live in Ireland so crazy hightemps not an issue.
Cheers in advance

More air flow the better! If the smell doesnt bother you then you dont need to worry until flower!

Its still good to remove some of the air from the tent from time to time because you want to refresh the air, but you will get better results if you keep the fans going inside 24/7 because then the pots will dry out quicker!

What are your Temps and Humidity looking like inside the room?

PM, bugs, mold all thrive in stagnant air. I agree keep the breeze going.

Soooooooo.. How does it feel the be the only native English speaking country in the eu? Lol.

Yah I'd run the extraction fan so humidity doesn't build up in the tent.

cheers mate,RH seems to be between 45 and 60 usually and temps hover between 68 and 78 f or 20 -27 c.little bit cooler at night.what i really want to know is,do i leave all vents closed and run both extractor fan and oscillating fan 24/7 and feed when needed.And think you just answered that.

Yea close them and run them, you want to have a controlled environment, you know what i mean, if the tent is open to the ambient air outside the tent then it wont ever truly be a controlled environment!

Oh that's cool, ty for the correction. Didnt know that, but now I do. :)

Flaps closed,
Maybe one open for air intake if there isn’t an extraction fan on
One fan on 24/7 for air movement is highly recommended
Is the tent in a relative controlled area? Meaning in bedroom?
If so then flaps can stay open for air flow but usually folks like a tight control and keep everything closed.

yes,the tent in spare bedroom.if all the flaps are closed will the extractor fan still be able to extract?will i put extractor on timer?Also the plant is 0nly 12 days old but it has 2 big leaves and just saw others forming,it has no height and looks like its sitting on the dirt.
Thanks you have been great help

Don’t need the extraction fan now , maybe into flower , what u can do since it’s in an environment controlled area (in a room) is to open the flaps , have one dave up top pull out and one below move air.
Small desktop usb type fan is sufficient for your tent size.( clip on type)
Cheers
