Please help - my 1st grow & carbon filter setup questions

So this is my plan:


Once i switch my bulb in the tube to a 600 watt HPS ' it will get a little warmer anyway.. so by then ill get a proffessional/industrial grade carbon filter fan; then attach / mount that inside the roof if possible' then connect the ducting from the carbon filter to lead to inside the tent & connected to the end of the cooltube.

Good idea?
:-P

So it means..

I have a 6'' can fan sucking warm air out from the room... pushing through the tube 'cooling the tube'..

'then connect ducting to the end of the tube for the hot air being pushed through the tube to ducting out of the tent .......
This will lead straight into the carbon filter in the attic/roof = Thus creating a push/pull scenario from both fans, and throwing the clean air out through the filter.

This should increase the ''pull' from the carbon filter fan because the 6'' fan connected to the cooltube in the tent is pulling & pushing air out of the room & assisting the suction of air from the 6'' carbon filter & fan by creating a 'vortex'
- Tornado type effect.

is this possible? :wall::wall:

ive been told you can reverse the flow of the carbon filter, so it sucks in through the fan and out of the filter or vice versa.. if i cannot reverse the flow out of the c/filter then ill have to change my plans, and ill have problems because i cant fit the carbon filter in my room.:wall:

Ive never installed one of these not sure whats the best and easiest way to to it; but i want it setup like my plan unless that will be a problem.
i want it clean and proffessional looking.. no ghetto rigs.. and i i dont have room in the tent to fit a carbon filter etc.:wall:

Can somone take a look at my grow journal video after reading this? take a look at my signature link..

If you cannot be bothered i have included a video of my room below so you know what im working with..:-(:-(

Bro, cool little setup for your first grow. I just suggest putting some chunck perlite under the rockwool and the hydro beeds. that way you can get bigger root growth. so u can up the nutrients and get sturdier plants, and then buds later on... just a basic lil fix for long term help

But it should be fine at the moment until i harvest right?... the plants are sitting in 6' rockwool cubes... one on each side of the tray and the rest of the tray is filled with HYDROTON BALLS.. dont want to transplant at the moment; ill just modify it for my next grow if i have any problems with root space etc.

and what about the carbon filter questions i have in my post.. starting to get a strong smell at 3 weeks vegging already!
