Thanks, I was thinking of adding a bigger outlet but wasn’t sure if they made adapters for ventilation. I’m in the pre build stage, just trying to get all my ducks in a row. Also trying to figure out how to fix issues before I run into them. I know you can’t prepare for everything in a grow, but It doesn’t hurt to try

You can make it work with a fitting like this

Thanks I'll try go a little smaller than the duct and see if I can still pull the duct through.
Still need to check for wires. I think there's abut of air exchange up there it's just a tile roof and I felt a small breeze when I stuck my head up there.
Your right there's a good chance it will breath enough by itself guess I'll find out once there a extraction in the room.

Good idea with the window if it doesn't breath enough, if not just a floor board.

If it gets cold where you live do not dump hot moist air into the attic, at least run the duct to the soffit then vent out, that attic will be dripping an moldy in weeks if outdoor temps get to freezeing or below

You don't need a filter unless you are concerned about the smell. I just blow unfiltered air outside, no neighbors:-)

My closest neighbor (1/4 mile up rd) just happens to be a K9 cop. He doesn’t visit or anything but….better safe than sorry. Especially since it’s illegal here. So carbon filter it is

The grow room will be under the house as well. You think I could extract air out of tent to one end of crawl space and pull fresh air in from another end while using a dehumidifier? There would be a distance of 35-40 ft between the air “dump” section and the intake. I’m having trouble figuring out how to exchange air without any vents in crawl space. And I need to keep ducts concealed if possible.
