Your making this more difficult than it needs to be haha. Just let the ac cool the room that the tent is in. Dont duct any ac into the tent. When the exhaust runs, it will pull the heat from the light and the tent through the filter and the cool air from the room will naturally get pulled into the tent through the inlet on the opposite side of the filter. If your filter is up top on the right, you need your inlet on the bottom left. Hope this helps clarify what I mean.

Ok.. I understand now...just one thing...you say if I have the filter at top right to have inlet on bottom left...your not talking about the exhaust fan...because you drew that being right beside filter, I don't have a inlet fan...but I can open flaps on bottom left, will that work. .

Correct, not the exhaust fan but the filter where the heat is actually getting sucked out. No fan on the inlet (passive inlet).
No worries....I'm not hard to find around here lol
Keep me posted with results!

Hey bud...so it's all finished...it's actually sucking in and not blowing out...I added 1/2 teaspoon to my 20 gallons of water and the ppms was 650....but I followed the directions for around 3 to 4 weeks...I thought that may be to high so I diluted it with 2 gallons of plain water, brought it to 540...you think that will be ok

Help!!!!..so I I removed my plants into a empty tub so I could nix my nutes..the nuts strength came out to 680...I did use calmag with added 200 ppm to the mix so actually it should only be 480.well that must have been to much because the 3 largest plants in the hydro system starting drooping bad but the others didnt, we'll not yet atlease..so I dropped the ppm to 320 which could be a little less from the calmag. What the fuck happened!!!!!

I'd bring it down a bit more. Its likely a safe bet that 350-400 will be a safe # and they wont get nute burn.
Quick couple of questions.....
What is the temp of the room that the ac is blowing in?
What kind of temps are you getting in the tent now with the light on?

If they got wilty from the empty tub, they will be perky and at attention again in a couple hrs if that. Things happen fast in hydro vs soil, but they also correct themselves in the same fashion. Dont panic. Worse thing you can do is change 7 different variables all at once because then you dont know whats hurting and whats helping.

The humidity in the tent is 40% range because I have 2 flowering plants with my veg plants..I know I shouldn't have it like that, I didn't plan to go on that aspect. I have pics...hold on

They look like they got thirsty from being outside of the solution too long. Bubbleponics will fade quick like that & certainly since the hydroton doesn't hold shit for water. I wouldn't sweat it. Its like when you cut a clone and it dips over and looks wilty for a bit then you come back and its all perky again.
