New set up/cooling help

Idk if this matters when it comes to venting the light but it has glass covering the bottom of the hood

then leave one side of your hood open to the tent and run your ducting out the other side, tent should have enough give to get the duct though. is smell going to be an issue for you or will you need a carbon filter ?

Smell isnt an issue. If I were to do anything with a carbon I would make it and stick it on the outer part of the fan. And thanks for the suggestion that is what I was thinking but no the tent wont give in not close and I really dont want to cut a hole but I will if I need to

Correction I can get the duct through the hole im sure just notvthe fan. So ill cram the duct in there n place the fan even more on the outside

cool literally lol

Would that work?

Okay im finished for now. This is what I came up with. I had to get 6"-4" adapters for the hood and fan so the fan would fit. I used 4" ducting and I turned the light corner to corner so it could fit. It was 95 degrees it is now 85 degreesm also I used a 250 cfm fan for the exhaust. I have a fan blowing into the bottom vents and I have a fan on the inside blowing upwards. Any suggestions? Would it cool it more if I had the inside fan outside facing in towards another vent?

You are going to want to run some flex duct (preferably insulated ducting for noise and keeping the heat inside the duct line and not radiating back into the tent or room) off of the 4" fan and out a window. You can let it dump the exhaust into the room that the tent is in, ONLY if you are drawing in fresh air from outside. If you are doing a passive intake, or fan blowing air in from the same room, then you are only going to be able to get the growing area as cool as the ambient temperature in the house/room.

Everything else looks solid, just remember that you need a complete air exchange across the tent. Considering that you do not have a carbon filter masking the smell, you should think about bringing air from a window or HVAC vent, so that the air that is coming in is cooler and is fresh air that is not being exhausted and recirculated.

Okay thanks. I set this up before I seen ur post but ill prolly add some changes because my room is still hot as shit.

Put that tent near a window and buy a window ac. Duct cold air into tent and buy those black and white tarps they use on the walls to reflect the light..use the tarp to cover the tent for light leaks

i dont see a temp probe thing hanging down............is that temp at the top of your hood?......

vent an a/c with ducting into the tent right at the hood site.

if anything u would cool the hood from side to side the way its supposed to be and just blow the ac into the tent.......where did u come up w this idea?
