Alright so here's what I'm up against. Imagine with me if you can I want to frame the OP inside the room so I can guarantee 0 light leaks and have better support structure for hanging.

Grow area: 8.5x10 the rest of the area is a finished closet and the entrance. Inside the closet I have 6" exit and a 6" induction point. But I also have a finished shelf in there with my t5s and prop tray and dome. So I would like to frame a veg room just outside the closet that's light tight(with a entrance/exit) that runs 18/6. About 3x4 in size, leaving a 5x10 area and another 3x4 area for bloom.

This will allow me to have all stages in the same room without interfering with each other. I will run a 600 in veg, and 2 1ks in the 5x10 area and another 600 in the left over 3x4 bloom area.

Now I have a 8000btu ac and 6" ducting, rigid, flexible whatever I need. I know 8 might be more efficient but I already have 6 everything. What I'm wondering is should i run all of the lights(cool tubed) together(with appropriate inline fans) in and out of my existing air induction and exit in the closet. And let the ac work on the room, or something different?

from your drawing it looks like you have your intake into the closet and also exhausting out of the closet.. how will the fresh air travel to other rooms.

in my opinion to cool your lights, you should get different fans for different rooms. they can be small cfm for the 600 and a little bigger cfm for the 2000 watt room.

I plan on running a minimum of 1 fan per light. Depending on size of fans and distance traveled.

Fresh air exchange will be handled separately. I want to kill as much heat by sucking it all out.
