the reason I cant show you is cause there is too much stuff in the way to get a good picture. Yes i am pulling in cool air from outside the tent(the room the tent is in) and expelling or exausting clean/hot air outside both tent and room tent is in.

yes this will work except one problem u will always have is the light hoods are gonna get really dusty and will prevent about 10% of light distribution if unclean. I suggest you filter ther air before it goes through the hoods so you are not always leaning over your crop trying to clean the dust in your glass every week!

o ok i thought you just didnt want to show me sorry lol. so did you look at my pics^^^ i have a inline sitting on top of my tent and im intaking right there on top and exhausting through the hood and out through the window thats right behind my tent! So i should be intakeing from my room and not outside right? sorry i have so many stupid questions im just trying to get it right and understand! thanks + rep for u guys

Reading 108F at the exhaust point at my window and reading 88-93F in the tent

should i get another inline besides the one thats cooling my hood or is my 6 inch 306 cfm good enough for my 240 sqft room?

No, there is no such thing as a stupid question; if there were then we would all be perfect and we're not.

So this intake air of yours-first off you should know that hot air rises leaving the cooler air at a lower level of the room. you should try putting your intake fan on the bottom of your tent, pushing cooler air in the tent but you will also have to exhaust the volume of your tent in under 5 minutes. what I did was started my intake air @ the bottom of my tent with a nylon on it acting as a filter. next i hung a charcoal filter connected to the lights(using 6" duct), the lights connected to a bigger 6" inline fan that is connected to about 16ft. of 6" duct, that goes outside the room that the tent is in. did that make sense?
Oh and another thing you should focus on is lowering the temp that goes into your tent in the room -and if you set it up like how I got it you will eliminate the need to get two filters or cleaning the dust outa your hood cause you didnt filter this air first. your temp goal should be 75 F @ the level of the canopy

what are you using in your ducts to filter the air ?

heres a pic i drew, is this how i should have it? is that what your explaining, im kinda confused but think thats it! filter through the hood out the tent and room! and get some air in the tent from my room with a nylon filter and ducting and a booster fan or actual inline fan?? thanks so much man

i only ave 1 fan so should i buy another one along with a filter????
