Venting/Air Filtration/Room Design

I'm trying to design my vegetative and bloom rooms. I got a room and divided it into two 10'x57"x8' area's. Passive intakes will be coming from my garage into into each area. Garage is right behind one of the walls. I have and inline fan that will be cooling 4 600w lights and exhausting into the attic. I"ll be using a carbon filter as well but can't seem to figure out how I can use one for both area's.

i'd appreciate any help on this or feedback on the design

Thanks

I'll give my 2 cents, even though it's only worth about 1.5....:lol:

Everything sounds good to me.
Where are you exhausting?
The carbon filter will only be needed in the flower room. While in veg they shouldn't smell enough to cause problems.:weed:

Tru dat! No need for a carbon filter in the veg room.
if u have ur paasive air intake from the garage and are also exhausting heat from ur lights into the garage then u'd only be sucking that hot air back into ur OP..
And it must be a good inline to suck 4 600's, centrifugals are the go..
And u dont need to exhaust the carbon filter anywhere, u can strap a fan on a filter and let it re-circulate the air in the room, the air dont to go anywhere.

I'm exausting into the attic but I'm considering to exaust the air into the heating & central air ducts since it's winter and when its summer re-route the exaust into the attic.

The current vegging odor isn't excessive but you can tell when you walk into the house.

Maybe using ONA, kitty litter and fan on top solution will do the trick in the veg room and better sealing open gap i have at the bottom the door will help.

Thank for the feedback guys keep it coming if you have any more suggestions.

Ok I'm not sure I completly understand what your saying but the way I picture it is that you want to add a carbon filter to a closed light exhaust system I can throw up two options. First being intake from your garage directly to your room. Attach your filter to the "intake" end of your light setup and a fannay your "exhaust" end that exhausts to your attic. My second option is one that I will plan to use in my grow. I will be using four lights so modify it for yourself but this is how it goes. I have two 3x8 rooms paralell to each other ( longways) with a 3x8 halway in between. I have two lights in each room that are all ducted together with one intake and one exhaust. What I did from there was add a motorized damper between my carbon filter and the exhaust ducting. Whenever you need to exhaust simply have a therm. open the damper and air will be exhausted. I also installed a damper near the intake as to equalize pressure in the exhaust circut. I hope you understand as it is somewhat an advanced technique I developed myself to fit my room.
