Okay i have few questions and id appreciate any and all help. I built room inside my garage. The room is about 8' ×11' with 8' ceilings. Room was constructed with 2×4s insulated walls and above the ceiling i also insulated. And i used dry wall for all walls and ceiling. I have 4 1k lights with air cooled hoods. But right now i have 3 of the lights running until i pick up my 4th ballast up from my from boys house. Anywayd i would like some ventilation help. right Now i have 1 oscillating Fan and metal floor fan thats pretty strong. Well my friend who helped out building the room also set up my carbon filter which has a fan Attached to the top of the with 10" ducting, which runs from inside of the garage to a 10" hole cut in the middle of the ceiling of the grow room which he built a Styrofoam type box with 4 separate holes with ducting ran to each hood. Well i believe there has to be a better and more efficient way make this work. I recenty found 2 vents at the bottom of inside the grow room that go to the outside. Well those vents were covered with sheet rock and thought it would be a good idea to use this vents for fresh air to enter the room. im in the process of getting an a window a/c as we speak aswell. Also i would like to maybe in stall a vent on top of the garage roof which would suck all the hot air out of the garage. Anyways i asking for any all help or tips to help with my ventilation problems. Like what can do with 2 floor air vent that go outside. i would just like my room to have great ventilation. Use my filter and fan correctly and cool the hoods Better n correctly aswell. i want to buy maybe one or 2 more fans. Or whats the best n correct way to vent to room and garage.

I built a room in my pole barn a year ago...a little more than half the size. First your 4, 1ks sound like a bit much. Your cool tube venting has to create a pretty crowded ceiling. You ARE going to need an AC I believe unless your garage is already cooled, Your fans will move air but will not cool. Additional roof venting will help. What kind of temp range where you live? I have a floor vent and a filtered ceiling exhaust with it ultimately being ducted out the barn eves. My floor vent has a fan but its never on as i run it passive. I can because my room is tight and my exhaust fan also pulls the air in. I'll find the link to my build...maybe it will help.
 
My garage is setup with a room w10 x L13.9 x H8. I have 2 vortex 400+ cfm one pushing cold air in my lights and one pulling up through the ceiling and out. Ac blows in with 4 oscillating wall fans. Another vortex fan sitting on a can filter in the middle of the room. I'm running 6 1000w over kill and my Temps are 78. No co2
