Wad up RIU? Im going to be desinging a new grow room Ill be working with an area about 15x8x8. I will be running 1800w 1600 being hps and Im trying to get a little more mh at the moment. My question to the pros is my Ventilation. I will have to run a cooler to keep temps at 70 degrees all the time. Now I will also be cooling my lights with a blower, now where should this air go?? from the lights?? And how do I keep my cool temps in the room but get rid of my heat from the lights?? Totally lost! lol

the safe way to do it is either run it to other rooms or connect it to the dryer vent. This will not create any kind of unusual heat that can be detected Use filters if needed.

Well I have the air from the room being sucked into the carbon scrubber and blower and blowing straight through 3 light hoods and then venting to the outdoors Im not worried about smells at all. Now my problem that Im thnking I will have is the cooler wont the cool air just be sucked and vented straight out the room??

You need seperate ventilation for your lights and for the room. You won't need to scrub the air that cools the lights IF you pull that air in from somewhere else (another room, or directly from the home's ducting, etc). Then you have a different air flow being filtered in the grow area. You can control temps better doing it this way, instead of having a bunch of ducting going everywhere.

Ok so take the air outside my room pump it through the lights and then what about smell can I use those ONA Gel filters for 30 plants??

You pump that same air right back out...that air cooling your lights doesn't come into contact with the air in the grow room. Then you won't have to filter it. You won't need to exchange as much air in the grow area, and you'll be hard on your filters hard if your filtering the air in the lights.
