Is anyone running 6 inch exhaust through their 600s? I just ordered an 8 inch inline that claims 750+ cfm, almost doubly what I am using now. I just switched over to a bigger cool tube reflector and my room is way too hot. Thinking about running two exhaust fans, exhausting in different spots, or would it be wiser to run the six inch inline fan, flex duct, cool tube 600, flex duct, 8 inch fan, out. Will the smaller 6 inch fan drag down the big 8 inch or will it boost it? Never had heat issues before jumping up to the 600 but they temps are manageable with the correct setup I'm sure

The only way proper time to add a 6" fan into your 8" fans cooling circuit is if the 8" fan has a really long flex hose with too many sharp turns put into it so that the internal pressure/vacuum is reduced down towards the level a 6" fan would provide.
Other than that, it would slow down the 8", while the 8" would speed up the 6" fan and potentially cause premature failure of the 6" fan.
Electric motors draw power every time the magnets are swept by the motor's commutator, so the faster it spins the more electricity pass through the magnets which will cause the contact surfaces of the magnets and the commutator to overheat & glaze over and fail a lot sooner than they normally would have (caused by the 6" fan being forced to operate above it's engineered maximum).
The 8" will draw plenty good all by itself.
The bigger factor to consider is ambient room temperature, or the temperature of the outside air coming into the growspace.
The coolest you'll ever get a growspace is however cool the source of air is.
You eventually reach a point where adding some cold air from an A/C unit into your growspace is the only way to control the heat.

Thank you for the advice, that was something that I kinda considered. So would the six inch say exhausting at the top of the room and the outside via the chimney work well if the 8 inch does not provide the cooling I need? My basement stays in the low 70s and especially with having the air on in the house helps as well. Thanks again, hope to post some pics of the setup and how I solved the problems as well.

If your ambient air outside of the growspace is in the low 70's, then I'd use the 8" by itself for the cooltube, and the 6" just as you described.
Having them draw from separate ducts like that won't cause any issues.
The only thing to consider is if you happen to have a gas fired furnace or water heater with a pilot light if your house is fairly well sealed.
We had an exhaust fan in our kitchen when I was a kid that was rated at 1300cfm, and if you adjusted the speed up past 1000cfm it would suck out the flame of the pilot light in the furnace downstairs.

ok great thanks for that I have a radiator heated home and a gas water heater right near the room. I'll keep my eye out for this if I have any problems in the future. My new fan should be here by the end of the week. I think I can deal with the high temps since I am only about a week or two into flower.

Hope you'll post some pics when you get the chance :-)
We like all cannabis-related pR0n here in the 600.

Well, any pR0n that's Safe For Work.

How about some classic rap?

[video=youtube_share;QrfO6kW8EIs]http://youtu.be/QrfO6kW8EIs[/video]

"Learn from the past,
work for the future,
don't be a slave
to no computer,
'cause the children of man
inherits the land,
the fate of the world
is in your hands!

So throw your hands in the air
and wave them like you just don't care!
And if you believe
that you're the future
scream it out and say 'Oh, yeah!' "
