how often do you circulate air in a tent?

i have one of those hydrohuts about 6'x3'x3', hooked up to a nice 4" inline - not sure of the cfm's, but it's a nice, mid-priced fan.

i thinking to run it 4 times every 24 hours, one hour at a time.

too much, or not enough?

5 air changes a minute is optimal, anywhere from 3-5 will be just fine however.

is it ok to do this four times (for one hour) in a 24 hour period?

NO! IMO. Odor will become a problem!

A 4'' mid grade inline should run about 170 CFMs. 3x3x6= 54cuft/170= aprox 3x a minute running NONSTOP. This should be MINIMUM exchange rate, so IMO you should NOT stop your fan at all!

ihave a 3x3 hydrohut, i run my vent fan/scrubber 24/7. moisture can accumulate inside if air isnt constantly exchanged.
