    Default Answered: Fan controller stops at night? What about smell

    Fan controller stops at night as temps drop to 20 , how do I manage smell as there periods of no neg pressure
    Its set minimum at 40% I thought it would idle there not stop
    Could this be cause my 4inch is so small it stops wen slows, or is this normal ?

    What controller are you using mate?
    Should be possible to set your controller to lower the speed of the extraction fan when it drops down to 20 degrees.

    Dr green from what I understand is your best keep ur fans on 24/7 ...intake and outake..obviously need to be on a constant power supply unlike ur lights which are timed..I'm a newbie so still learning myself. .on second grow myself. .good luck. ..

    you dont need the intake on when light go off, you should be able to set your extraction to just slow down and not go off completely.

    sometimes you have to mess about adjusting the settings a bit by bit to get it right

    have your intake set to come on with your lights
