Would this intake/exhaust/filter style work?

This is how i am envisioning building stuff, pull air from another room in the house when temps are too high and dump out hot air under the house when temps are too high. The big carbonfilter and fan would be on a timer and would run every so often depending on how much it smells, it will be sucking in the stagnant air in the room and blowing it out back into the room aka recirculating the air through the filter.

So would this work? or is this just stupid? Should i just have my big filter be my exhaust fan? I am running a co2 generator so i can make as much as needed.

Whatta you guys think?

Doesn't like you would get any circulation if the air is entering at the floor and exiting and should the filter not be on the exhaust,I'm not an expert
I took another look my eyes are focusing better now lol,I the charcoal filter and fan freestanding ie not connected to either the intake or the exhaust

I actually read your first post this time and not just look at the picture and i would just use the big one on the exhaust why run 2 and as i said i'm not an expert so wait for some more experienced people to answer.

Hmm... You want your Intake near the ground and outtake out the top.. hot air rises so you want to exhaust that out as quick as possible.... you have fan specs but what is the size of your room? How many watts are your two lights? You're charcoal filter usually is hooked up to your exhaust so as not to allow smell out of the outtake... how will you dehumidify?

I would take that 1000CFM fan and outtake with that on your Charcoal, 400CFM for intake, and 2-3 16 inch air kings moving air around... A dehumidifier will be needed, CO2 would be nice but is being wasted because if intake outtake.. If you have the cash I would even get rid of intakes and out takes and just throw a solid A/C or 3 fan Chiller in there... then you can blast it with CO2 without it going anywhere.. sealed rooms are the professionals way to go if you can cool it correctly and provide CO2, this shit gets expensive though..
