Do you use the hyper fan for a intake or a exhaust?

I don't use fans for intake I use passive intakes. That is I leave a vent open somewhere. My hyper fans are hooked up to my carbon filters and exhaust.

I use those too with the Phresh filters. I am on year 3 with one and still no weed smell getting through. And I dry and filter the air in the growroom closet through them.
But this summer I added an intake fan and it made a pretty big improvement.

One of my favorite upgrades as of recently. I was using an ipower amazon 4" kit before. Hooked up to a variac speed controller. I much prefer the hyper fan setup. It pulls less power and is quieter and includes the speed controller as well.

How do you not get light leaks when you leave a vent open?

I have a spare room so no light leak issues. You just need to have your "on" time set for a schedule that works for you and stay out when it's lights out. I do not go into my tents for anything when it's lights out. My intake is away from any light source anyways. And honestly I'm not a freak about light leaks like most. If the light off of my portable A/C or some coming in through an intake is going to somehow mess up a genetic I have flowering, then that is not a genetic I want to keep running.
Just my opinion.

Thats what i was thinking about doing or getting a booster and getting a exhaust fan.

I wanted to believe this was a good plan for quite a while. Problem is. All of the most sensitive plants have been the best ones to smoke. So I maintain a dark room with only weak green light used in the dark cycle.
And I still have to get used to seeing some stamen here and there because of the weed I like best.

Beware pushing air with a booster, if odor control is important, as one can give
a tent a positive air pressure with can cause leaks of air/smell.
Good luck,

Sure I read that green light is not much safer to use than a normal light. I also recall somebody grew something or other using green spectrum or what not.

Very low intensity green light. The LED display on my light controller in there is green light even.
