my room is about 10x8x8. i was plannin on getting a 6" vortex and leaving it on for 18veg/12flower as needed. the problem is.. where can i direct my ducting. can i leave the door open and just let the air go into the next room? i have 2 crawl spaces on each side, but im worried about letting cold air in, or the neighbors smelling the pot more than they probably will anyways. im on the 2nd floor, so idk if the smell rises in the winter, or what. idk what to do. i dont wanna get a inline fan if im just gonna be recirculating the air into the same room.

that room will get hot and stale....u will need to get out the hot air and put fresh air in...i guess you will just have to keep the door open !!

what type of hood is your light in? is it the type that you can channel air to, and extract air from? cause that air your neighbors could smell -- air that never "enters" the grow room.

i got a stanley fan from walmart that i retrofitted, instead of spending 3x as much. its remarkably quiet; im content :)

ya.. i think i can do that. i have two holes on my hood. if i vented the air to my non insulated crawl space, would the smell get sucked out like my hot air?

if air that is entering your fans touched the buds at all, yes -- if you take air from a no-bud-zone and send it to a no-bud-zone, it will not smell of bud.
