looks good, the only thing I would do is take that wye branch out from your ducting and just pull directly from the filter.

thanks, the hoods not aircooled, I just have that white box fan pointing towards the light. my temp is at 83-85F when ON, and around 67-69F off.
growing indoors in my spare bedroom

Yes they were alittle droopy because I had the tent in my garage and we had a HOT week! Ive taken this picture after I moved it to my spare bedroom. Girls are doing alot better now since they getting AC.

I searched and look for a part so i didn't have to put the Y branch, but no luck. there was no other solution to add 2 6" exhaust, reduce them to 4" and add them to the filter

you dont really need 2 6" fans do you? Just use 1 of the 6" fans with a 90 degree elbow with the 6 to 4 reducer hooked directly to your filter. Would that work? I just don't think that filter is doing much like it is

I was using just one 6" fan like how you have it setup but around week 4-5 it started to smell abit. so i added another fan, and now clean odor less air pumping out

probably because it is pulling A LOT less air from out of the grow room itself. But if you are happy with the way it is working that is all that matters. It just seems like you are bypassing the carbon filter completely with the way it is now.

I know what your talking about, 2 fans pulling air from 1 source. i also questioned myself before i did this. but it ended up working out fine, i don't completely close my tent because it creates vacuum in the tent. all the sides look like they are caving in. so the suction isn't a problem. so i just leave a crack open.
