My flower room is almost that exact size. I have a 4"x14" carbon filter on the floor exhausting up towards the ceiling just circulating ( scrubbing) and it works like a champ.

Peace

ive done it both ways, on the floor and suspended above my light, ive noticed hanging aboe my light keeps the temps down a little bit better, but barley a noticable difference really, so i think any way will work fine, it just really dpeneds on what you want to do and the room you have, if you dont have much floor room for your plants then you will prob want to hang it, if not throw it on the floor, i dont think it makes a difference, either way make sure that the filter isnt near water,humidity or getting wet at any time though because moisture causes carbon to stop working, then you will have a stinky house.
 
thanks everybody i hung it up my tents 4x4x6 im thinking of 16 plants insted of 9 what are your opions on that you see my lights and my space is it a good idea im thinking yea

i have learned with experience thats its not so much plant numbers that matters or contributes to total yield, once you get good at growing the plant numbers dont matter, i can get more yield with 5 or 6 plants then some avg grower with 10 plants, so honeslty i dont think it matters brother, just get good at what your doing, start small and learn it well
