    6" hood 4" carbon filter and inline fan

    sure, you'll lose some, but that doesn't matter at all. what matters is the amount and temperature of air that passes the light and your four inch fan is what will determine the amount of air.

    6" hood 4" carbon filter and inline fan

    four inch fan is plenty to cool a 400 or 600 watt light. no problem at all hooking up a reducer to get from 6 inches to 4.

    Few Questions?? (About to start my first grow next week)

    unless you're really lucky with your situation you are going to need to vent all the way out of your basement, and you'll want insulated ducting to control the heat. also, it looks like you plan on vegging and flowering at the same time, which is a good idea. but your tent is going to need to...

    co2

    you would get a lot of co2 on the floor and practically none elsewhere (co2 is heavier than air). you can't vent and use co2 successfully.

    2nd attempt. Opinions plz?????

    as much total light as you have, you'd like that much per adult female plant to get a good yield. less light will work but you'll produce a lot less bud. and you should mix your soil and perlite better so the perlite's evenly distributed throughout the pot.

    Thermometer location

    it's just the way temps were originally measured in order to separate the effects of radiant heat and air temperature. regardless of radiant heat, if the air temp is above about 85 f the plant's biology slows down. regardless of air temp, if the radiant heat is too high the plant's leaves will...

    co2

    you're right. you have to be set up to recirculate air most of the time and only vent occasionally to get rid of stale oxygen rich air.

    well, yea, if you don't give it enough light it will not grow as much. indoor grow quality and quantity directly related to the amount of light used.
