carbon aides in FLIR??? they wont notice a 400 anyways... i heard its not even an issue till ur in the 1500-2k watt bulbs

This would be fine, as long as you are complying to your state's laws regarding cultivation. I exhaust to my attic, and have the duct aimed directly at spinny vent on the roof. So, if a pig were to fly over with FLIR, I would have a very suspicious trail of heat exiting my house 24/7. But, since I have only 2 immature plants at the time, I am 10 plants under my state's limit. So, I am not worried about the heat trail. If you are going over the limit, then do not exhaust to your attic. Even if the heat is contained in the attic 24/7, it will show the pig using a FLIR, that you have a room in your house that is suspiciously hotter than the rest of your house.

Huh??? I suggested a carbon filter for the smell, beacuse I suggested spreading the exhaust throughout the house... FLIR should not be under-estimated in my opinion. But, to each his own... Happy growing!

Chimney exhaust is fine. People get nailed when they vent out of other areas of their home. Like their garage for example.

Chimney and dryer exhaust are about equally effective. Still though, I would use the spread method if I was going big. A good FLIR operator knows what "normal" chimney and dryer vents look like, and could conceivably mark your house for further FLIR investigation (ie: 24 hour surveillance) since nobody uses these 24/7... This is why I feel FLIR should never be under-estimated...

FLIR detects thermal hotspots. They cannot see UV light, meaning they can't see light radiating from a room through your shingles on your roof. They can only identify heat that is escaping from your home. They compare images from one year to the next, and if they identify some major changes, they may have concern. And just because heat is coming out of your chimney now, doesn't mean that it wasn't a working chimney for the past few years or cannot be used now. . I doubt you will even have any heat coming out during the winter after passing 35-40 feet of brick chimney. Do you have a fan pushing it out your chimney, or do you just let the hot air rise out naturally?

I wasn't thinking of the winter cooling factor...

I use a squirrel cage blower to push the air out.

What is a CO alarm is it a CO2 alarm?

And i'm exhausting a 400 watt hps via cooltube. What would be the code violation?

The exhaust is running directly into a port premade above the flue in the basement. The chimney is pulling the air up.
