i have like 3-4 tent questions all relating to ventilation i feel like an idiot when it comes to ventilation
would it be possible to run a duct from the air conditioning vent on the cieling into my tent? I mean i know its possible but what if i taped up like half of the vent for the duct and left the other half open for the room would the air actually make it into the duct or would it just flow into the room or would i have to tape up the whole thing
seperate question
lets say i have a 4 inch inline fan and i want to use it to cool my light with no carbon filter. where does the ducting start for something like that?? like duct to fan to hood to out of the tent? and where is that inline fan drawing air from? or is it pushing the air into the hood and out of the tent. could i see a 4-6 temp decrease in something like that? im just not sure how to hook up a 4 inch inline
seperate question
lets say i have a 4 inch inline with carbon filter and air cooled hood. so it starts from the carbon filter then ducts to the fan which draws air/notsure? out of the carbon filter to duct to hood to out of the tent? if thats how it works how does the carbon filter keep the smell out if its just venting the hood?
seperate question
here is my hood there is 4 notches it looks like around where i can duct something. is that made for an attachment that I have to buy or does the ducting slip in there? also can i use duct tape on a hot hood?? will that make it bubble up? here is the picture of my hood

here is the picture of my hood
http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z458/sbuuttler/03-13-2011/lightsetup.jpg im gonna be using rope ratchets soon instead of chains should i change the positioning of the hood to sideways so its easier for the ducting? or which would be the easiest for ducting??
seperate question
would a 80cfm fan be of any worth to this tent? they are 14 bucks at home depot. would my temp drop even 2-3 degrees with one? would it be enough to draw air through the hood??

http://i1190.photobucket.com/albums/z458/sbuuttler/03-13-2011/lightsetup.jpg so the notches for ducting are a little bit further apart then the ducting area and my tent has 5 inch flanges would I be able to use 5 inch ducting that would hook up to that 4 inch hood?
the heat is so bad coming from that duct area in my hood I eventually plan on getting a 4inch inline fan in a week or so Im just looking for a really cheap option now im really just super confused about ventilation and i dont have alot of options if anyone could answer any of these I would much appreciate it!
