How long do you keep the filter/fan on?

Hi guys, I have to harvest two G14 plants, and I want to use the tent as a dryer. How many hours per day I should use the filter and fan?
Thanks in advance !

I run mine 24x7 to eliminate the scent and to keep the temperature and humidity stable

Always. Stagnant air can cause issues. There are devices that run the fan high during lights on and low during lights off. Titan controls makes one. I’ll try to find and link.

yep, always. For air exchange, and odor control.

Moving air works

I feel a bit scary to leave the fan 24/7 , it will not burn?

The centrifugal fans are fairly robust. I run mine 24/7. Some of my fans were bought used and still run 3-4 years after purchase. I’ll let you know if I burn one up, but my oldest fan is over 5 years old (bought new).

Thank you Toker1 , it's on my upgraded tent list now !

The inline 4 inch I currently have is set to turn on to a preset speed based on temp. It runs extremely quite and does not draw as much power as my old one. Motor bearing on it crapped out but it had run none stop for at least 5 years.
Here is a link to my current fan

In my grow area I need the fan running 24/7 because of smell. Cigars only hide so much :-)
