My question is how do I vent my room to prevent, I was planning on buying an air cooled hood to with a 400+ CFM fan to both exhaust heat and smells.

But up on further research I found out that the air cooled are sealed air tight by glass. Which I don't think will provide adequate exhaust for the smell. So my question to you guys are how is this done, do you use one fan or two separate fans one for smell and one heat.

Any income will be welcomed please I will be purchasing the hood soon.

I have a filter attached to my lighting system. It will prevent the scent from getting out of the tent, in addition to cooling down my plants environment.

Mine is a cool tube left open on one side in the tent, and pulls heat from the tent, and also scent (but the scent gets filtered).

Is your filter sitting on the outside or inside of your grow area. Also do you and other pull or push air through your filters.

The air is pulled from the inside of my environment, and blown out of a filter sitting outside of my environment.

No. I don't have dust anywhere in the environment come to think about it. I keep it well maintained.

Thanks londoner that really helps anyone with any more pics of their ventilation setups would help out a lot and be greatly appriciated.

I have been looking through tons of pic of grow room designs but nothing seems to show what I want if any one has any links to post that would be a big help also.
