one of the issues i have is smell,i have 10 chocolope haze in 3gal.pots and they are smelling up a storm.i would like the 8inch fan to be on all the time so that i can get the air moving every 5 minutes or less.when i hook up the 8inch fan my temps and humidity goes up to much which caused some mold in the previous grow.

You need a carbon filter on the intake side of the fan, that will take out the smell.
But I don't know how turning on a exhaust fan is raising your temps.
Do you live in a hot humid area or something?

An air chiller for the intake air may work. Or an air conditioner to keep the room cool.
