Hi ya Johnnyblaze326 :)

Don't panic :)

Can you get into the area where the AC runs to ?.... can you remove the vent plate off the AC and see in that area ?... If so .... you can climb above the room and just move the AC duckting out of the way and connect your own ducting to it from a scrubber and just find an outlet for it ?

Get up into the loft area and see whats up there :)

thats a great idea. thought of that but wouldnt i want the AC running still to feed air back into the room to cool my hood and keep temps stable

1st pic is the duct for the ac to the closet
2nd is the vent in my closet from ac
3rd 1st duct u see is my closet the 2nd and 3rd are 1 ac to bathroom and one vent with fan for the bathroom
4th is another pic of my duct to closet
5th is another of all 3 vents and showing the one that goes outside for vent fan in bathroom
6th is the attic at least half of it

Why not put in a 4" fan with a scrubber, mount it up high and have it pulling air in and exhausting it back into the room? Why cant you put a hole in the ceiling? A 6" AC register will cover up most holes and make it look like it belongs there. The other option is to keep the door closed and pump ozone in there.

Ok from what you have shown in the pics .... it looks simple ...... disconnect the AC Vent .... move the AC ducticting out of the way ..... you now have a gap to feed some ducting out of your grow room .... get a reducer for your AC pipe and some smaller ducting to feed into your room .... then put a scrubber in your room with a exraction fan and then ducting from the extractuor up thru the same hole as your AC duct (so both small pipes share the same hole ) and then add a reducer in the loft to your small extraction pipe comming outy of your room ..... to a bigger diamiter ducting ...... and then run that to the eves of the roof ......in this pic i can see daylight ..... just poke it out the hole .... Job done ...no cutting ..... seal up the rest of the AC vent hole with duck tape ... all good :)

why dont you just buy a fan and filter combo. and just scrubb the air in the room . if your not venting now , you must scrub or odor will build . atleast you got fresh air coming in, get a 6in vortex and Can 38 special . you should be fine . or go bigger to be totally sure, get some ona blocks . goodl uck

i dont think you want to vent into and attic either , i mean it would work but the temp up there is suppose to be the same as outside . you putting hotter air up there can casue mold . correct me if im wrong . something you should look into and consitter. hope this helped

you might wanna try something like this if you have the funds....circulation and oder elimination in one, its quieter than the vortex 6" really expensive though, for me at least.

And does it actually make a considerable difference in odor? Do you put it in your surrounding room or in your grow space? Sorry for hijack just a question I had

yeah it does. here is the research that learned me to it. page search "negative ions". as for placement, there are alleged positive effects of negative ions in the grow space itself, in addition to odor removal. plus it's HEPA to get the bacterias. that specific unit has an effective (87% particle removal) area of up to 125 sq.feet. i hope that your grow space is at least that big. glad to help =]

Well my grow space is not however something like this would be practicle as my space is not completely sealed by door (Have sheet hanging) and makes it pretty difficult to run a carbon filter
