Do I need an inline fan in my Grow tent?

How often should an inline fan be used in a grow tent?
Your inline fans should, ideally, replenish the volume of air in your grow tent once every two to three minutes. 128 ft3 / 2 minutes = 64 CFM But ambient temperature and humidity need to be taken seriously. If the room you’re getting the air from it’s too hot, factor in 20% more.
How do you install a carbon filter in a tent?
The most recommended connection would be to attach the filter indoor in the tent. Once you attach the fan, ensure the tapered end faces the exhaust hole. Then, use the remaining available straps to hang the carbon filter.
How does the air come out of a grow tent?
Put simply, you have a fan blowing air out of your tent, but there is no fan blowing air from outside in. Instead you use an intake hole that passively allows new air to enter the tent. This will usually be around 3 or 4 times the size of the exhaust hole, or you can have multiple passive intake holes.
