Air Flow? Not sure where to send all my warm air

I am not sure where to send my warm air and exhaust air from the filter. I have heard some nightmares regarding doing through furnace and I would like to know if anyone has any ideas. If you need anymore info at all pls let me know. Room is located in basement, 11x11, 4 600W bunch of good fans to help move air in and out. There is a window in the room however neighbor is kinda nosey....

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! +rep for everyone!

can you not vent into another room? or under floor, you could even vent into the basement ceiling/upstairs floor, if you do either of them it means the heat will spread out and wont be leaving your house from 1 point, either will work

the only negative thing about the furnace is if your filter fails and all that smelly air gets pumped out the chimney

electric dryer?

I was doing that before and it started some serious mold issues. I was venting into another room and it was a big problem. I don't think keeping that air in the house is a good idea...... Not 100% sure though...

Excellent idea however the dry vent sits right by my patio. I can't really have my inlaws over dinner and have air shooting out of there at a high rate of speed and tell them thats my dryer. I dont think they will believe that I have a SUPER powered dryer... lol
Thanks though!

i pump my hot air into a piece of guttering submerged in cold water in a tub and then back out in to the room again it it like air con cool when it comes back in have to change the water once a week its cheap and works well

you should locate your plumbing vent if you can, without destroying too much drywall that is.... and try to tie into that, just make sure you use a backdraft flapper/damper so you can't get sewer gas coming back if your fans stop. check that one out, i've heard of it working.
hope this helps

i was going to do this but got warned about it being a bad idea because if theres any body working in the drains and they feel an unatural wind coming from your pipe it could set alarm bell off, dont know how true this is though. good idea though if ive been told wrong

Exactlly why I was reading this thread.
I have same issue and would like to heat the house up but the mold it causes is un real.
Im pushing my look having door open so air from bathroom window can help pull it out evenly.

I need a fix to this,was thinking the vent in wall but then the walls will mold on the inner.

Is there nothing we can put in our flexi ducting to trap the water?
some kind of water trap plummed into the ducting sounds like a idea.

Im going to try de humidifiers.

easy: tap into the vent leading up to the roof. If it's pvc it's an easy and inexpensive procedure. All your exhaust can go right up the top providing of course you do have some sort of filter just in case the stank is a tad strong.

Im currently trying to decide where to put my exhaust vent as well. I was gonna just vent it into the attic but im also afraid of mold. Im growing in a closet so im very limited as to where i can vent. Its either into the attic or through the floor into the crawl space. Im using leds so the air shouldnt be very warm. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

for a closet grow,the moisture created wont be a problem unless you vent into a small area like the cavity between the walls.your attic should have enough ventalation to handle it.

Ilove2sell,can you vent into another room and then vent that room to the outside? I did that yrs ago using a ion generator to kill the smell & when humidity started to build,I just opened a window w/ a small fan in it.

hey everyone,
i have a similar problem with my stealth caninet set up. i dont know where to exhaust the hot air. now the room temperature already gets very high in summer time 90-95. i am planning to use two seperate 106 cfm mix fans for air outtake. one for cooltube (250 or 400 w) i will set up the cooltube as closed circuit, take air from outside the cabinet and exhaust to the room. and exhaust the grow cabinets air through scrubber to the room with the other fan. i know this will be a big problem it is never adviced to exhaust the hot air to the room because the heat and the moisture will build up in the room but there is no way i can stick a pipe to my cabinet and connect it to anywhere else because it will ruin my stealth.
the best solution i can think of is this:
build a 1 ft x 2 ft x 3 ft cooling compartment inside the cabinet, let the hot air flow here first then to the room through a passive outtake. (if it works i can place dehumidifying powder or a dehumidifying bag manufactured for cars in the cooling compartment). and install a bathroom fan to the room window to suck the air from my room.
do u think this can work? and how much noise it will create. i really need help, this is my biggest problem about my grow cab design for now..
thanx for your help

i just found this product:
http://www.amazon.com/Davis-Instruments-Air-Dryr-1000-Dryer/dp/B0014TMXVA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/179-1833800-1351854
does anyone know about it or similar products? do they create heat while dehumidifying?

what if i fill another scruber with silica cat litter and attach it to the end of the air exit. would that help?
anyone has any idea...
