2000 watt air cooled hps grow

Hi wveryone i was putting together a flower room as i have my previos Dr 80 for cloning and another 2.5x4 for vegging. i know this is my second post all together for awhile lol. But i been doing alot of reading on journals by every one on here. Great results form alot you out there thanks for all the info and pics. Once again i have room to spare.

Out of the 12x12 room i was going to cut it down to 6x12x8tall so i have room to walk around. Now this isnt my journal im asking questiions if thats ok i will start my journal after this so you can see the progress. i was either going to hang diamond punched refelctive on wall and hang it also on the ceiling so it can be moved from one side to the other when im not in there. or i can close it off with plyood make a door mylar the flooring infared the top and reflective mylar on side. same with the drape way i first mention either one what do you think.
NEXt my triky Qs
1. 2x1000 watt hps lights with exhaust fan hooked up to both air cooled hoods exhausting into attic i have the whole setup already now where would i hook my carbon filter to the beginning or the end of the two hoods or behind the exhaust im confused on that part dont want to get it until i know for sure. now i will not be using co2 i will the next grow. it will be all soil fox farm and nutes. Next for my intake do i need one or can i just exaust the room using the one my lights are connected to do i split it or do i let i one run line through exhaust- hood-hood- carbon filter.... but then makes me wonder will that work... i know its all about trial and error but im setting this all up its is all legal. So i was thinking of installing an inline fan insde the wall to the other room that i dont use aslo and suck the clean fresh air in there as well and having my exhaust do the lights fiter and carbon filter would the be right. Now im sure those temps would be nice in there. also having a 12in osilating fan to stir the air. would that be a correct setup. I have a window ac that i boxed up and put a 6in flange custom built to extract heat if temps are to high i can get a bigger exhaust or just splint the 470cfm and have ac right below so ducting isnt so long.

please let me know what you think or what i can fix or if you think i have it under control. I have all my wirinig setup so i will not break breakers or exceed the limit as i am familiar with that part.

or will i need 8in exhaust i dont think so do you. maybe to exhaust the ac flange but i think the cotroller should hadle it all it will be one a timer seperate from the lights as they will be cooled 10 min longer .because bulbe do stay hot remember.



1. 2x1000 watts nexgen ballasts
2. 2 hydro farm aircoold hoods
3.1 470 exhaust
4. carbon scrubber.
5. inline fan from one wall to the other room
6.osilating fan

most likes gonna keep whole room open and do the drape idea.. so lets here it so i can make this all happen under my grow journal so u can see the whole process happen.

you should set up what you have, see what the temps are and then work from there. Without knowing current temps it's hard to say how much more cooling you need. Carbon filters should be placed close to the fan because they will block the air pretty good and need something to push the air through.
 
ok so.. If my temps are right when everythings running with just the exhaust, exhausting the two lights with the carbon filter into the ceiling would be fine without intake or still use the intake. thats where im getting confused. I just dont want it to feel like the girls cant breathe. so would using an intake from another room work that would be drawing fresh air into the bottom of the flowering room and leaving the exhaust to draw the hot air from the room,hood,and carbon filter into the attic? no does the ac come in if you temps are to high and you cant keep them down correct so that would be the use of the ac? thank you
