heres my set up.

once the smell starts do i need to have the extracter on all the time or can i get away with it turning on for 15 mins every hour?

do i need to put a no air return gadjet on the end of ducting in attic'atm i have misses tites to stop bugs getting in?

and my fan is a rk 125 which seems very good and blows alot out'does this mean i dont need a fan intake due to the vacum?

cheers

Unfortunently your going to have to have the fan running all the time. Your going to want a intake fan as well. The reason being is that pot plants love fresh air. If you leave the same old stale air in there with no movment your plant is not going to grow or do it at a much slower rate. So your going to want to have a intake and exhaust fan running 24/7 to keep the air flow going.
The good news is you don't need to worry about pest getting in as your carbon filter should deter them. So that shouldn't be a problem for you. Hope that helps.

That is correct. You do not need to have an intake fan, it just optimizes air flow. If your exhaust has ample airflow, in combination with being placed on the top, you should be good.
