Exhaust question (Tent in a dedicated room)

If I have a tent with a sealed hood in a dedicated room, would I exhaust the tent directly into the room? Then treat the room air with a portable a/c or heater + dehumidifier?

In a 4x4x8 tent with the hood isolated and running a 1k, roughly how much higher than the ambient room temperature would the tent tend to be at? 10 degrees f, maybe? The room stays in the low 60's in the Winter and 68 when I'm running my home a/c.

I'm going to have a 6" active intake with a foam air filter as well as a 6" exhaust w/scrubber. Both fans around 440cfm with controllers. From what I understand the tent should have a little negative pressure so I'd run the intake a little slower.

I've ran a 1000w hps with air cooled hood in 4x4x8 and you're spot on. About 10 degrees higher than ambient room temp. I exhaust with a 6" active air fan through duct to the window for the light. I have a 4" through cf and that creates enough negative pressure so you'll be good with the 6. I have to dial back the 4 to 75% power for that size tent.

My room gets a bit hot with two tents and a closet so I exhaust out the window. The 1k pushes heat. Could try into the same room..especially if the ambient temperature is in the 60s.
