Vented lights on scrubber w/o pulling out all the co2?

Ok so I'm kinda stuck. My fan is setting on my scrubber and ran through my hoods then out of the room... What are some other ways to do this so my co2 won't be instantly pulled out of my room through my carbon filter? Thanks!

Edit... I under stand running duct from out of my room too cool the lights but really dnt want to buy a separate fan for my scrubber. I'm thinking dampers set up in the duct somehow. Any help would be appreciated

You just have to make sure you're providing more than is being pumped out. What's your setup?

It's a 10x10 grow tent w 2 1000 watt hps lights. These tents are sealed rt?

I doubt it, but I've never used a tent. But, a sealed room means no air is coming in and no air is leaving the room.

Should I just get a separate blower for my carbon filter w a timer and run it out?

If you want to use co2 efficiently, you want a sealed space. That means closing any vents and having the scrubber recirculating inside the tent.

I think you need to get back to basics. This is a good video

Hummm idk if I like that. Don't you want fresh air coming in atleast? Wats the benefit of a sealed room? Just the co2 regulation is easier?

Benefits are greater control over everything: co2, temps, humidity as well as overall cleanliness, keeping out pathogens and bacteria.

But it generally is more work and more expensive to setup. I don't use a sealed room. Hopefully someone who does can comment and give you their more experienced opinion. I really just know from what I've researched and talked to others about.

It's not sealed... My temp and humidity is good. Just looking for ideas to run it with only one blower from my scrubber through my lights and out my tent.

The fan should be at the wall of the tent, sucking air through the tubes then into the scrubber then through the fan and outside the tent.

So I take it u dnt use co2? Since u dnt have a "sealed" room?

If u add co2 u will have to intake air from outside the tent, run it through the lights, and exaust it back outside the tent. otherwise u will just remove all the co2 u add. also ur scrubber will work more effectively with a lower CFM fan attached to it, and less smell will make its way out of a sealed tent so its a win win for u.
