Heat issue...

Im planning my 600w stealth grow and have run into a heat/venting problem. I question my question is this, lets say I have a 600w set up with a carbon filter+ 6 inch inline fan with 424 cfm. Can I attach the fan to the reflector/light and then to the carbon filter without heat issues? My room is 2x3x6 ft.

To get optimum flow you want the fan pulling air through any obstructions, not pushing. If you put the fan between the two it will put more stress on the fan, but will still pull...just less CFMs.

ok well I want the fan to be pulling the air through the filter then through the reflector and light, so the fan is on the end hooked up to the exhaust port, will this work?

Is this what you mean?

<--(Fan)<--(Reflector)<--(Filter)<--

If thats the layout and the arrows are the air flow direction, then yeah your good to go. If your air intake into your room is towards the bottom of your room, and your exhaust is pulling from the reflector that would be best.
