    Default Extract fan.

    Do you guys leave your extract fan on 24/7 or does it go off with your lights, or is it on a separate timer? I have no problem with temps day or night its pretty constant just dont want it getting whiffy.

    Most run 24/7 I imagine, mine does. Ya need to exchange old, stale air for fresh to keep it sweet, that's why the fans are on 24/7 mate

    I don't use my extractor 24/7 during veg. I'll have it turning on every 30 mins or so for a couple of mins to change the air. Once flowering it's on 24/7.

    I prefer 24/7 because the noise blends into the background. A fan turning off/on would be noticed by me which also means that the neighbours might notice too.

    I've just set mine so it runs for 15 min every hour during the light period and then runs continuously during lights out.

    I'm running a semi sealed room with Co2 and aircon though.
