Overthinking exhaust

10x10 bedroom
2 4x4 tents
Veg tent. 2 100w blurples (menards exhaust fan)
Flower tent. Hlg 300r and a 240w kingbright
6in exhaust (440cfm).

The room is in between another bedroom and the kitchen/laundry area and has 2 older style windows that push out instead of lift up.
Cutting through the siding just seems wrong.
I do own/mortgage am legal (5 plants) and would like to run both tents all the time. With just the flower tent it reaches 80-83 even at night.

It seems like I have 2 options. 1. Go through the exterior wall and have an oddly looking placed vent. 2. Go through the side into the laundry room and let it vent there or route it through the dryer vent. Just a lot more ducting required in option 2.

Another option is to vent out the window. They make these adjustable window vent thingies that block out the space except for a 6" vent, or such a thing would be super easy to make. It's a little janky but it works if you don't want to cut another hole in the wall....OR you could vent out of your dryer vent, and just swap them out when you do laundry-oops, I see you already came up with this-it's a good option.

could put the vent going up inside the exterior wall put an elbow and come out where the soffit on the house is ive seen vents for bathroom fans come out of the soffit because the original vent on the roof repeatedly brought melted snow dripping on the fan.

Get a piece of plywood or OSB, cut it to fit in your window and then cut a 6” hole to mount your ducting. Super simple and similar setup as running a portable A/C.

I’m fairly certain this will work! Thanks I honestly would have never thought of that approach.

Window is in clear view of the neighbors who I’m sure would be ok. I’d just rather avoid any questions. At all from them really.

Do you have hydronic heat or forced hot air? You may be able to take the register off of the floor or ceiling if it is an air system for your heating and either dump the air into the rest of the house or go into the attic or basement then vent it to outside
