Air circulation?

I am a professor, the old has nothing to do with what is current. Words and accepted usage of them changes annually. Kinda like you don't have to use capital letters at the beginning of a sentence in today's usage type of shit. It happens. There is no such thing as "proper English", that is my point. It changes and evolves constantly. You don't want to get me started on Ebonics or something else do u? I am not currently scheduled for any lectures and don't want to be at this tyme. :)
Honestly I think it's debatable. I mean you're not wrong but I think there are some professors whom would argue that the old English is English in it's most proper form. Heck, people that speak in a lot of mid-evil based shows sound so civilized compared to a lot of people that speak this new form of "English". "WTF U derp nub, LOL". As an English professor you should feel the duty fuelled obligation to smack the hell out of people that talk like that(especially when they speak the acronyms out loud >,<).

I found it hard to explain I'm extremely high right now.so I drew a picture that's probably even harder to understand.
View attachment 3400199 the white arrows is were the air gets sucked into the filter..The green arrow shows it running threw the light then out the tent...The fan is mouthed above my tent and the ducting extends into the attic,To get rid of the hot stale air. The blue arrows are my passive intake sucking in The fresh air from the room with the ac that my tent sits in. hope this makes sense.
So you have a filter filtering the intake? Does that mean that you will need 2 filters(one for the out-take to filter the smell so you're not exhausting pot smell all over your neighbourhood).

It makes sense as to why your temps are high. You are pulling warm, ambient air into the hood and pushing it into the attic. There should be one fan for the hood and one fan for the filter. You could hook only your filter up your current setup and it would be ok. Because we use sealed hoods, the air we use for them doesn't need to be filtered. It can be exhausted anywhere (provided the sealing gaskets are working properly). You should be drawing in cool air from outside your house for the hood and exhausting it outside the house as well. Again, the air from your sealed hood doesn't smell and does not need to be scrubbed. Each of my tents has an intake from outside for the hood and then one just so it has fresh air entering the tent. I do combine the exhaust ducts into one for the exit, but that happens after the tents and doesn't have anything to do with the temps inside them (or the area the tents are in).

Also, try not to give it too much venting. You do want to create negative pressure in the tent to contain the smell.

My tents sucked up... I definitely have negative pressure in it. Fresh Air Is being sucked from outside of my tent which is the room my tents in with the ac. so the room my tent sits in is filled with a fresh supply of a air constantly .it stays at about 70degrees in the room housing my tent... that fresh air gets pulled into my tent then out and into the attic at a very constant speed..... so the hotter tent air is getting sucked into the filter. over the light sucking the heat out of the tent and into the attic... it would definitely be alot better if 70 degree air was running over my light instead of 80. But my goal is to hit a certain range.. In the winter/spring I can pull this setup off and use one fan less..summer time I'm going to need to have that 70 degree air directly on that bulb...I'm hoping the sleeve for the light will allow me to run this set up all summer Long without the need to add another fan solely for the purpose of air cooling a hood......but you know how it is I'm probably going to need to anyway.it gets hot in California. .The central air conditioner will also help alot.

That is my filter .. All air goes threw it before leaving my tent.

My intake is passive my exhaust fan sucks in fresh 70 degree air from the room my tents in..by clearing my tent of the old air.when it sucks out it also pulls .. U know what I mean?

Central air does not contain CO2. That is one of the reasons that you need to draw in outside air. I think you are going to have heat issues this Summer.

The central air helps with the temp the window ac with the built in thermostat brings in the co2..when it hits the temperature I have it set at the ac turns off and the fan keeps bringing in air threw the window..I am circulating air from outside ..I might, if I do I'll run it with an extra fan for the light..

I am sorry brother, AC unit don't bring in CO2. You need an intake from outside.

I don't feel the need for that at all. I am not here to decide how our language progresses (or regresses for that matter), I am here to invoke positive thought and creativity. I don't really give a shit if you use idiomatic expressions, acronyms or Ebonics. I care about the message (most of the time, but there are dumb-asses too) more than anything else that you are trying to present or the delivery of an argument (if it is a debate).

You don't have to take my word for it, just google it. In most cases, they remove any CO2 that could possibly be in the air and send it outside (your central air is gonna do that via its intakes too). I would imagine your levels in the low 100s or 200s. Sure they will, but they will grow bigger and faster with higher levels of CO2.

I see what your saying.. How would I go about making intake holes in the wall?

You don't need to make a hole in the wall, you just gotta be creative. Plug a window with plywood and put a hole in it for a duct. I am sure you can make it work. Just take a look around and maybe go for a walk in a Home Depot. You would be amazed at the ideas you can come up with.
